What is Cold Laser Therapy?
Cold Laser Therapy, also known as Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) or photobiomodulation, is a non-invasive treatment that utilises low-intensity light to stimulate cellular activity. This gentle and painless therapy has shown promising results in promoting tissue repair, reducing inflammation, and relieving pain.
How Does it Work?
During a Cold Laser Therapy session, a low-level laser is applied directly to the affected area. The light energy penetrates the skin and is absorbed by the cells, triggering a series of physiological responses. This includes the release of endorphins, improved blood circulation, and enhanced cellular function. As a result, the damaged tissues undergo accelerated healing.
Benefits of Cold Laser Therapy:
- Pain Management: Cold Laser Therapy is effective in alleviating both acute and chronic pain by reducing inflammation and promoting tissue repair.
- Faster Healing: The stimulation of cellular activity accelerates the healing process, enabling patients to recover more quickly from injuries or soft tissue conditions.
- Non-Invasive: Unlike surgical interventions, Cold Laser Therapy is non-invasive, meaning there are no incisions, needles, or downtime. It provides a safe and comfortable treatment option.
- Versatile: This therapy can be used to address a variety of conditions, including sports injuries, arthritis, tendonitis, and more.
- What to expect: Cold Laser Therapy is Pain-free, Drug-free, Needle-free. I use a handheld small device and place it directly on the injured area, you will not feel a thing, it is totally pain free on application. This treatment is sometimes combined with a brief massage of the area.
