Cold Laser Therapy

Cold Laser Therapy

Cold Laser Therapy is a very effective solution for treating pain and healing injuries without surgery or drugs.  Cold laser uses low level light rays which are absorbed by the skin, this process increases cellular repair and tissue healing.   Worldwide medical studies have shown safe and proven relief for the following musculoskeletal conditions:

A closer look at common conditions

Tendonitis: is inflammation of the fibrous cord (tendon) that attaches a muscle to a bone. The most common cause of this inflammation is what is referred to as repetitive stress (or strain) injury. By frequently overusing a muscle through a repetitive motion, such as occurs while playing tennis, golf or using a computer keyboard for hours at a time, a tendon becomes inflamed. Where there is inflammation, there is usually pain. If the site of irritation has no chance to rest and recover, and the inflammation continues, then fibrin and other inflammatory "debris" will accumulate. This, along with a decrease in blood vessel activity will lead to fibrosis and the formation of scar tissue.

A spur is a calcification that forms where a tendon attaches to a bone. This is the final stage of a chronic tendonitis condition. Cold Laser Therapy is the most effective treatment for tendonitis because it stimulates the regeneration of tissue at the cellular level (such as cartilage). It also stimulates and re-establishes blood flow to an acute or chronic injury site. This helps carry accumulated inflammatory "debris" away from the injury site and healing nutrients in to the site. In the case where there's a spur formation, even though the spur remains, the cold laser can effectively treat the site and remove the associated inflammation and thus, the pain, often permanently.

Arthritis: There are several forms of arthritis, but the most common is "wear and tear" or "degenerative" arthritis. This is simply a wearing down of any joint from injuries, repetitive stress/strain, or from chronic structural imbalances (bad posture, etc.). The best way to diagnose degenerative arthritis is by x-ray. The two things that can usually be visualized are: a wearing away of cartilage (evidenced by decreased space between the bones) and an increased calcium buildup on the joint surface of the bone (spurs are an example). Just as in the case of tendonitis, cold laser therapy has proven to be an extremely effective treatment for arthritis because of its ability to stimulate the regeneration of cartilage and to heal inflamed tissue. A person could have complete absence of joint pain and have much improved mobility from cold laser therapy treatments, even though x-rays still show severe degeneration.

Sports injuries: For acute sprains and strains such as those common in sports injuries, nothing has worked as well or as fast as Cold Laser Therapy. Whether it's a tendon, ligament, or muscle trauma, Cold Laser Therapy - used as soon as possible following the injury - can go to work by stimulating the healing response in the injury site at the cellular level. This healing photon energy interrupts the inflammatory process and extremely accelerates the regeneration of the damaged tissue.
