Atlantic Chiropractic and Rehabilitation Discusses the Benefits of Cold Laser Therapy
Are aches and pains keeping you from enjoying your life? When you are in pain, comfort can't come soon enough. At Atlantic Chiropractic and Rehabilitation Chesapeake VA, we specialize in Cold Laser Therapy as a non-invasive and drug-free approach to pain relief.
What are the Benefits of Cold Laser Therapy?
Cold Laser Therapy, or near infrared therapy, is quickly gaining popularity because of its capability to promote and accelerate healing without being invasive. With its ability to penetrate several inches into the skin, it's perfect for reducing swelling in joints and muscles. By stimulating your body's own ability to repair and restore tissue you may be able to avoid harmful medications and surgeries.
Cold laser therapy reduces the formation of scar tissue during the healing process so that fewer fibrous tissue forms as surgical incisions, cuts, scratches, and burns can heal. It has also been shown to stimulate nerve function which reduces numbness and tingling.
What Does Cold Laser Therapy Treat?
Cold Laser Therapy uses low-intensity laser light to stimulate healing in conditions such as:
- Muscle Strains
- Neck Pain
- Muscle Spasms
- Tendonitis
- Arthritis
- Fibromyalgia
- Acne
- Psoriasis
- Wound Healing
By stimulating pain-relieving endorphins and working to reduce inflammation, most injuries can be treated quickly and easily. Whether you've been in a car accident, have a sports injury or even a skin condition, Cold Laser Therapy can work to reduce pain and swelling at any age.
Is It Safe?
When administered by your Chiropractor, Cold Laser Therapy is a painless safe procedure that can reduce pain and promote healing in a short amount of time. The laser is typically used between 5 to 18 minutes depending on your needs. No preparation or medication is necessary and you will not feel any pain during treatment. Most patients notice relief within a few hours of treatment but may need additional treatments.
