Cold Laser Therapy
At Case Chiropractic, we utilize Multi Radiance Medical’s Super Pulsed Cold Laser Therapy. Super pulsed lasers synergize multiple wavelengths of light that allow for tissue penetration of the laser at different levels. The laser scans target tissue from superficial to deep increasing the effectiveness of the treatment effects.
Multiradiance Laser Technology is used in the NFL, NHL, MLB, and Division 1 College Athletic Programs. Cold Laser therapy has been adopted as an essential pain management tool by most major league sports franchises in the United States as well as by many Olympic teams. Trainers of these elite athletes claim that the athletes make comebacks faster after being injured when Cold Laser Therapy is part of their treatment plan. Now the weekend warrior, high school athlete, or those who want to keep up with their kids or grandkids without pain can receive the same therapy technology available to professional athletes!
Is Cold Laser Therapy Painful?
No. Cold Laser therapy is non-invasive, it does not break the skin or cause burns, as opposed to high-powered lasers that are used in the medical field to cut or destroy tissue. Most people do not feel anything, while some have reported a slight tingling or warming sensation over the area being treated. Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) is also known as Cold Laser Therapy. The FDA approved LLLT in 2002. High-powered lasers are used in the medical field to cut or destroy tissue.
How Does Low-Level Laser Therapy Work?
The FDA has approved Low-Level Laser Therapy (also known as Cold Laser) for the treatment of musculoskeletal pain. It causes vasodilation, an increase in the size of small arteries and lymph vessels, which allows inflammation to be cleared from an injury site more effectively. The laser also stimulates light-sensitive structures in your cells which leads to an increase in cellular energy and acceleration of the healing process.
