Learn About Cold Laser Therapy From A Stockbridge Georgia Chiropractor

By Clinton Arnhold


A "cold laser" might sound like a contradiction in terms. Lasers heat things up, right? Actually, the more specific term is Low Level Laser Therapy. It's called "cold" because the frequency of light used is shifted towards the ultraviolet, with no thermal (infrared) energy being released. The frequency is chosen because it can penetrate two to five centimeters below the skin.

As the light energy is introduced into the cells, it speeds up how the cells work. This makes cells to heal faster. The light introduced into the cells help to reduce swelling and pain. Multiple research studies have shown that this procedure does indeed work. It was first tried out in 1967.

This technique is used to relieve pain from people who are suffering from different illnesses. This includes arthritis, carpal tunnel syndrome, pain from the neck and spine and fibromyalgia. It is mainly used to deal with moderate pain and not extreme pain.

You may need to undergo a number of sessions before you can experience any difference. This can be up to 30 sessions. Keep in mind that your health insurer may not cover the cost of this procedure. This procedure can make a huge difference in pain management.

You can get cold laser therapy from a doctor or a Stockbridge Georgia chiropractic clinic or other alternative provider. It may be prescribed in conjunction with chiropractic adjustment, electrical muscle stimulation, TENS, and with ergonomics and exercises to help speed recovery.

If you have persistent neck and back pain, talk to chiropractic professional about laser therapy. You can go for a couple of sessions and see what results you get. Since it has no known side effects, the worst that can happen is nothing. During the sessions, make sure to wear protective gear. This includes goggles to cover your eyes.
