Low Level Laser (Cold Laser) Therapy

 

Low Level Laser Therapy has been successfully used to treat many conditions, such as acute or chronic pain reduction, repetitive use disorders like carpal tunnel syndrome, soft tissue sprains and strains, inflammation reduction, enhanced tissue would healing, and cell generation.

Low Level Laser treatments use 10/1000 of a watt, so they do not have the heating or danger associated with other familiar lasers. In basic terms, light travels in wavelengths. By adjusting these low level wavelengths, the energy levels are changed to stimulate cellular activity. Treatments can vary from seconds to minutes depending on the condition.

There are several theories of why Low Level Laser Therapy works to stimulate alterations in cellular homeostasis parameters.
