What is Cold Laser Therapy?Lasers have been a topic in popular culture for a long time, so most people have a pretty clear image of what a laser is. But lasers can be more than the cutting tools you are familiar with. Lasers are simply light energy focused into a beam, and there is a spectrum of light energy that includes both heat energy and non-thermal energy. Cold laser therapy takes advantage of a different wavelength than the hot, cutting lasers seen on television and movies.
Instead of heating up or destroying tissue, a cold laser produces no heat. They transfer non-thermal light energy into the body to get to the source of an injury and stimulate the cells at the injury site. The stimulation provided by the light energy accelerates the cell’s natural healing and rejuvenation process, which helps your injury heal. Cold lasers have been shown to reduce inflammation, lessen pain and accelerate healing.
