Benefits of Cold Laser Therapy

When you think of a chiropractor, you may think of spinal adjustments, exercises, and massage therapy to help relieve pain. But did you know Advanced Family Chiropractic and Rehabilitation in Imperial, MO, offers cold laser therapy to help decrease pain due to strains, inflammation, rashes, and other minor injuries?

What is Cold Laser Therapy?

Cold laser therapy is a gentle, non-invasive chiropractic technique used to reduce pain and promote healing. Our chiropractic professionals will have you sit or lie down before running a low-level laser over the surface of your skin where pain is occurring. The amount of time the light is on an area depends on the severity of your injury. This laser light does not emit any heat, which is why it is referred to as cold laser therapy.

What Does Cold Laser Therapy Do?

The energy from the light stimulates damaged cells to promote healing. Cold laser therapy can also rapidly improve circulation and promote tissue growth. This therapy reduces swelling, inflammation, and may even prevent the formation of scar tissue. If you are experiencing numbness in your leg due to nerve damage, cold laser therapy aids in repairing nerve cells, allowing the feeling to return to your leg more quickly. One of the most important factors of cold laser therapy is that it reduces pain faster than other methods.

Benefits of Cold Laser Therapy

Cold laser therapy is quick, safe, painless, and drug-free. While healing may require several sessions, each session is generally short. Unlike surgery, there is no recovery time associated with cold laser therapy. Unless there is a larger or underlying issue, you should be pain-free without fear of the pain returning once the therapy is completed.
