Cold Low Level Laser

 

Low-Level Laser Therapy

Cold laser therapy works by applying a low-level light directly to the problem area. The tissue then absorbs the light. In a basic sense, this leads to a biological or chemical reaction to red and near infrared light. Damaged cells have a physiological reaction that helps promote their regeneration.

 

During the procedure, you’ll feel the device against your skin, but it creates no heat, sound, or vibration. Even better, it is completely noninvasive and painless. Most of the time, one treatment will take only a few minutes.

 

Cold laser therapy is used to repair tissue and relief from pain and inflammation.

 

Is is Right for Me?

The use of cold laser therapy is growing in traditional medical practice and as complementary or alternative therapy. Under the care of a qualified practitioner, like Dr. Shoemaker, cold laser therapy is considered safe. Also on the plus side, it’s noninvasive, painless, and there’s no need for medication or other preparation. There are generally no side effects or reported adverse events.
