Cold Laser TherapyNapa, CA
Wondering what cold laser therapy means? Many medical professionals are choosing to use this type of therapy as it has proven to be beneficial when it comes to treating people who have acute or chronic pain conditions. This technique is also used to accelerate the healing process and can help strengthen any existing damaged tissue.
Cold laser therapy is also commonly called low-level laser therapy and works when a therapeutic laser emits an invisible spectrum of light. This light can be used to address any issues that exist within two inches of the skin’s surface.
Why would someone need this type of therapy?
Many patients often experience the relief they are looking for in only one or two therapy sessions. Living with ongoing pain tends to lessen one’s overall quality of life. This fact has many people who are suffering from a variety of health conditions choosing this particular therapy option, as it not only helps minimize or even remove their pain, but it also offers additional benefits, e.g. immune system regulation, new cell production, etc.
The following list includes common reasons someone would benefit from undergoing this type of therapy:
To reduce pain
Cold laser therapy helps reduce pain by supporting one’s ability to heal faster. This is accomplished by focusing on things like reducing any inflammation present and correcting any nerve dysfunction.
To reduce inflammation
Inflammation is often the body’s natural response to injury, which can lead to patients experiencing various levels of discomfort and/or pain. Cold laser therapy helps reduce inflammation, allowing for less pain and more mobility.
To stimulate nerve function
This therapy option helps stimulate nerve function by creating new and reconnecting old nerve cells, allowing for faster healing time.
To improve vascular activity
The light energy utilized supports good blood circulation.
To decrease scar tissue
The development of fibrous tissue is reduced when cold laser therapy is utilized on scars, no matter how they are obtained, e.g, cuts, scratches, burns, etc.
To increase metabolic activity
When cold laser therapy is utilized, it delivers more oxygen to the area being treated, which in turn increases metabolic activity that leads to faster healing time.
Common health conditions that benefit from utilizing cold laser therapy
Cold laser therapy can be used to treat carpal tunnel syndrome, muscle strains, ligaments sprains, tendinitis, bursitis, sinusitis, tennis elbow, fibromyalgia, lower back pain, neck pain and knee pain and aids in the healing of wounds.
