The Benefits of Cold Laser Therapy

Cold Laser Therapy

Millions of people in the US are dealing with neck and back pain, joint disease, and soft tissue injuries that impact their lives. Many people are dependent on pain medications just to help them get through the day; however, medications only treat the symptoms, not the underlying injury or inflammation. This is why many people turn to osteopaths. An osteopath is a medical doctor that focuses on therapeutic and alternative ways to promote natural healing within the body to improve how it functions as a whole. One way in which an osteopath can promote tissue repair and faster healing is through cold laser therapy.
What is cold laser therapy?
Cold laser therapy, also referred to as low-laser therapy, uses special light waves to help stimulate the body’s natural healing and repair response, as well as to regenerate damaged cells. Low-level laser therapy such as these do not produce heat, so patients won’t feel any heat or discomfort during their treatment.
