Cold Laser Therapy

Here at Calibration Chiropractic + Functional Health, we’re proud to offer Cold Laser Therapy, a cutting-edge technology that utilizes low-level laser light to promote healing and alleviate pain. This non-invasive and painless therapy has shown remarkable results in a wide range of conditions!

What is Cold Laser Therapy?

Cold Laser Therapy, also known as Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) or Photobiomodulation, is a safe and effective treatment that uses specific wavelengths of light to stimulate the body's natural healing processes. It involves the application of low-level laser light to the targeted area, penetrating deep into the tissues without generating heat or causing discomfort. The light energy interacts with the cells, promoting cellular regeneration, reducing inflammation, and relieving pain.

How Does Cold Laser Therapy Work?

The light emitted by the cold laser device interacts with the cells in the treated area, stimulating the production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the energy source for cells. This increased energy production leads to enhanced cellular function and accelerated healing. Additionally, the laser light stimulates the release of endorphins, the body's natural painkillers, providing immediate relief from discomfort.

What Conditions Can Cold Laser Therapy Help With?

Cold Laser Therapy has shown great success in treating a variety of conditions, including:
1. Musculoskeletal Pain: Cold Laser Therapy is often used to alleviate pain associated with conditions such as arthritis, fibromyalgia, back pain, neck pain, shoulder pain, and joint pain.
2. Sports Injuries: It can effectively treat sports-related injuries, including sprains, strains, tendonitis, and ligament tears, helping athletes recover faster and get back to their optimal performance level.
3. Soft Tissue Injuries: Cold Laser Therapy can promote healing in soft tissue injuries like ligament or muscle tears, strains, and contusions, reducing recovery time and improving range of motion.
4. Carpal Tunnel Syndrome: By reducing inflammation and promoting tissue repair, Cold Laser Therapy can alleviate the pain, numbness, and tingling associated with carpal tunnel syndrome.
5. Chronic Pain: Individuals suffering from chronic pain conditions, such as neuropathy, sciatica, and temporomandibular joint disorder (TMJ), may find relief through regular Cold Laser Therapy sessions.

Cold Laser Therapy and Concussions

Cold Laser Therapy can also be beneficial for individuals who have experienced concussions. Concussions are a form of traumatic brain injury that can result from sports injuries, accidents, or other traumatic events. While the primary treatment for concussions involves rest and allowing the brain to heal, Cold Laser Therapy can be a supportive modality during the recovery process.

Cold Laser Therapy helps in reducing inflammation in the brain and promotes the healing of damaged tissues. By increasing blood flow to the affected area, it supports the delivery of nutrients and oxygen, which are essential for the brain's healing process. Additionally, the therapy can alleviate associated symptoms such as headaches, dizziness, and cognitive difficulties.

If you or a loved one have experienced a concussion, our chiropractors can assess your condition and develop a personalized treatment plan that may include Cold Laser Therapy as part of your comprehensive care. Our goal is to support your recovery and help you regain optimal brain function, ensuring a smooth and effective rehabilitation process.

Please note that while Cold Laser Therapy can be beneficial for individuals with concussions, it is essential to consult with a healthcare professional to determine the most appropriate course of treatment based on your specific condition and symptoms.
