What is Cold Laser Therapy?

conditions treated by cold laserBellevue Natural Health Clinic is thrilled to now be offering cold laser therapy, using the state of the art Theralase system. This technology is a safe and effective way of treating chronic pain, neural muscular-skeletal conditions and providing wound care. Cold laser therapy works by reducing inflammation and encouraging tissue healing, thereby eliminating pain! The lasers penetrate deeper – up to 10 cm (4 in) below the skin surface – and heal tissue faster than any other cold laser on the market. In addition, Theralase is the only cold laser manufacturer that is FDA approved to treat chronic knee pain! Are you impressed yet, because we sure are!

Cold laser therapy works because it targets the source of the injury and heals damaged cells by encouraging the body’s own natural healing powers. Some conditions it can treat are:

  • Migraines

  • Low Back Pain

  • Cervical Pain

  • Knee Pain

  • Frozen Shoulder

  • Rotator Cuff Tears

  • Tennis / Golfer’s Elbow

  • Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

  • Patellofemoral Pain

  • Iliotibial Band Syndrome

  • Achilles’ Tendonitis

  • Plantar Fasciitis

  • TMJ

 

In addition to the above, cold laser therapy has also been proven to relieve tingling, muscle weakness and loss of sensation.

Therapeutic laser technology work by supplying energy to the body in the form of non-thermal photons of light. When converted to chemical energy by the body, it can be used by our cells to speed up tissue healing. This means blood flow is increased, swelling is decreased and muscle elasticity is improved…and that all helps to reduce your pain! While the laser may touch your skin, we can assure you it is painless and fast. Although it can take 3-5 treatments, the sessions are only 10-20 long and some see results after the first session (acute conditions may improve faster then more serious chronic ones)
