Shedding Light on Pain Relief: How Cold Laser Therapy Targets Aches and Pains
Cold laser therapy, also called low-level laser therapy, can relieve chronic aches and pains and promote injury recovery. At Kitsap Chiropractic and Natural Health, Dr. Jennifer Sansen offers cold laser therapy in Port Orchard, WA, to accelerate healing, offer drug-free pain relief, and improve quality of life.
What Is Cold Laser Therapy?
Cold laser therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses low levels of laser light to promote healing and recovery in the body. It is used to treat a wide variety of injuries and conditions, including chronic and acute pain and inflammation.
How Does Cold Laser Therapy Promote Injury Recovery?
As low-intensity laser light penetrates your tissues, it stimulates natural healing processes in the body. Your body absorbs the laser light, sending increased blood flow to the treatment area. It also releases healing chemicals and nutrients that promote cell and nerve regeneration, tissue healing, circulation, scarring, and calcification. The light also stimulates your body’s immune system and releases endorphins, which relieve pain. Combining red light therapy with other methods of injury rehabilitation can make them more effective.
What Types of Injuries Can Be Treated?
Dr. Sansen can treat almost any type of acute or chronic injury or pain disorder with cold laser therapy. The most common conditions she treats are:
- Arthritis
- Joint pain
- Muscle aches and pains
- Muscle sprains and strains
- Hematomas
- Autoimmune disorders
- Diabetic neuropathy
- Auto, work, and sports injuries
Benefits of Cold Laser Therapy for Injuries
If you have been relying on prescription painkillers to manage chronic or acute pain, you may be experiencing unwanted side effects or complications. Regular use of painkillers can cause dependence and increase your risk of overuse. You might also develop side effects that are dangerous. Cold laser therapy is non-invasive, nonsurgical, and drug-free. The biggest benefits of this treatment method are:
- Long-term relief of chronic and acute pain
