Low Level Laser Therapy

What is Low Level Laser Therapy?

Low level laser therapy, which is also referred to as cold laser. Cold laser treatment uses low-intensity laser to stimulate cellular function, promote healing and reduce pain.

Benefits of low level laser therapy

Accelerated Tissue healing

Cold laser uses specific wavelengths of light to penetrate deep into tissues, stimulating cellular activity and promoting faster healing. This boosts the production of ATP, which is crucial for cellular energy and function. Research shows that low level laser therapy, enhances the repair of damaged tissues. These tissues include muscles, tendons and ligaments. This is beneficial for anyone recovering from injuries or post-surgical rehab. 

Pain Relief

Low level laser therapy helps reduce pain through a process called photobiomodulation. Stimulating metabolic activity, reducing inflammation, releasing endorphins (natural painkillers produced by the body) and improving blood flow all contribute to pain reduction. Clinical studies have demonstrated that LLLT can provide significant relief from both acute and chronic conditions such as neck pain, back pain, shoulder pain, joint pain and arthritis.

Reduced Inflammation

Inflammation commonly contributes to pain and discomfort. Low level laser reduces inflammation at a cellular level by decreasing the production of inflammatory cells and increasing the release of anti-inflammatory substances and also promotes blood flow, which all leads to to reduction in swelling and quicker recovery from inflammatory conditions.

Improved Range of Motion

For those experiencing stiffness or restricted movement, this can be a game changer. By reducing pain, inflammation and promoting tissue repair, low level laser can help restore normal function and improve your range of motion.

Reduced Recovery Time

Low level laser can speed up recovery time by working at a cellular level to accelerate tissue repair and reduce pain and inflammation. Whether it's a chronic or acute injury, LLLT helps you get back to your daily activities more quickly

Enhanced Circulation

LLLT stimulates an increased blood circulation to the affected area. Blood flow increases oxygen and nutrients to the area while removing waste products. The improved circulation supports tissue repair and the healing process to get you back to health quicker.

Non-invasive and Safe

One of the greatest advantages of cold laser is that it is no invasive and generally very well tolerated. Low level laser therapy does not require drugs or surgery to be effective, making it a great option for a wide range of people.
