Therapeutic Benefits of Cold Laser Therapy for Pain Management

             The Non-Pharmacological Therapy for Chronic Pain

  • Low-level laser therapy (LLLT) can provide proven pain relief, usually within 6-8 treatment sessions.
  • This non-invasive procedure, which also is called advanced cold laser therapy, utilizes the latest technology and is FDA-approved for the treatment of many types of chronic and acute pain, including back pain, neck pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, tendonitis, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome,  and sports injuries to name a few.
  • In many cases, pain and inflammation are improved after the very first treatment.
  • Light energy from low level lasers penetrates deep into musculoskeletal tissue (e.g., muscles, joints, bones) to:

 1. Relieve pain

2. Reduce swelling and inflammation

3. Promote tissue repair and healing

4. Improve blood supply (circulation)

5. Stimulate the immune system
