Cold laser Therapy is a painless, sterile, non-invasive, drug-free treatment which is used to treat a variety of pain syndromes, injuries, wounds, fractures, neurological conditions and pathologies. Laser therapy can be used any time a patient needs a drug-less procedure for the control of pain, when conventional therapies have been ineffective, or when the acceleration of healing from injuries is desired.  

Around the world, cold laser therapy is rapidly becoming a medical therapy that can heal wounds and fractures up to 60% faster and reduce the cost of treatment for many conditions!! In the UK, cold laser has become the treatment of choice for soft tissue "whiplash" injuries.

How do Cold Laser's work?

Healing with the use of light is not a new technology. Light therapy was reported to be effective for many conditions by Hippocrates. With the development of the laser and its special properties, using light as a treatment has gained more popularity. This is because we can now use specific wavelengths of light and give accurately measured doses of energy directly to the appropriate treatment site, which was not possible with other light sources. Light is transmitted deeply through the skin's layers and optimize the immune responses of our blood. This has both anti-inflammatory and immunostimulate effects! Light transmitted to the blood through cold laser has positive effects throughout the whole body, supplying vital oxygen and energy to every cell.

What to expect during a Cold Laser treatment

For most people, cold laser therapy is quite passive. There are no pulsating shocks felt or heat as with ultrasounds. The most noticeable sensation is the touch of the probe of the laser onto the skin. Very few (3-5%) of patients experience a slight tingling sensation or a feeling of warmth. But for the most part, the treatment is not noticed at all.  

Following a cold laser treatment, approximately 75% to 80% of patients can notice an immediate improvement in their condition! The more chronic a condition, the longer it may take to respond.
