What is cold laser therapy? The short answer: It’s a penetrating beam of light that stimulates healing and decreases inflammatory pain. Here’s the long answer.
Using the same type of healing philosophies practiced by chiropractors, cold laser health providers aim a particular wavelength of light — in this case between 600 and 635 nm wavelength. It’s the same wavelength that occurs when DNA replicates. This therapeutic approach is not a quickie solution, as multiple sessions are typically required to obtain the desired result. However, the fact that it’s a non-invasive treatment regimen, which has effectively reduced pain and inflammation for many a patient, convinces sufferers to seek a cold laser practitioner.
Cold laser therapy works in tandem with other common chiropractic procedures, all of which limit additional trauma to a patient. That is in stark contrast to many traditional approaches to resolving inflammation through administering drugs or even performing surgical interventions.
Many people really do underestimate the healing power of the human body and spirit. As a culture, we have pursued a mechanical, piecemeal approach to healing inflammation and soft-tissue injuries for many decades.
Ask your chiropractor about cold laser therapy. Many people have found it to provide pain relief, according to the American Cancer Society’s website. As each individual presents a unique case, be sure to seek advice from a medical provider for your specific health concerns.
