At Harbor Health Center in Capitola, we are continually looking out for the latest and most innovative techniques to help our patients find relief from aches and pains. One of these procedures is called Cold Laser Therapy, or low-level light therapy, which has successfully treated acute and chronic conditions for many years. Bodies that have endured chronic injury can reap various benefits, such as pain reduction, improved muscle strength, and increased joint movement. Cold Laser Therapy can also be used right after a new injury has occurred to speed healing, restore any disrupted joint function, and stop further damage.
Cold Laser Therapy improves many injuries and conditions, including the following:
Cold lasers involve using handheld wands, usually the size of a flashlight, that use specific wavelengths of light to accelerate cell regeneration. Our clinic’s physician will place the laser directly over the area of focus for a few minutes.
As the light energy reaches the targeted area, it can help eliminate pain and reduce swelling. It is highly effective for treating both chronic pain and acute injuries. The visible red light releases frequencies to the treated area. This light can promote healing by increasing the cells’ energy levels and improving communication between the cells.
