Shedding Light on Pain Relief: How Cold Laser Therapy Targets Aches and Pains
Cold laser therapy uses safe, low-level laser light to target and penetrate tissues and muscle to stimulate the body’s natural healing processes. At ChiroSports USA, we believe that cold laser therapy is a crucial element of sports injury recovery in Union City and Pleasanton, CA. Laser light is highly concentrated, can be directed at a very small treatment area and can penetrate deep within the skin, muscles, and tissues. It is a minimally invasive, drug-free treatment option that accelerates the healing process and improves flexibility and range of motion.
How Cold Laser Therapy Works
Cold laser therapy uses specific wavelengths of light that interact with the body to stimulate the body’s natural healing processes, improve blood flow, reduce inflammation and pain, and promote tissue and cell regrowth. As the laser light penetrates your tissues, it directs the body to send a micro-inflammation response to the targeted treatment area. This process can encourage tissue and cell regrowth and the formation of new, healthy tissues, muscles, tendons, ligaments, and cells.
What to Expect During and After Your Treatment
When you visit us for cold laser therapy, you can remain fully clothed other than the treatment area. Our chiropractor, Dr. Abdollah Nejad, will use a small, handheld device to direct low-level laser light to your injury. You may feel pressure and tenderness, but you should not feel pain. Any discomfort you have should go away as soon as treatment is over. Each treatment session lasts between 20-45 minutes, and we may recommend six to 12 treatment sessions.
