Cold laser treatment in Lancaster, CA has many benefits. It’s also a good supplement to chiropractic care. For patients living with some type of discomfort, there are many reasons to consider cold laser treatment. Below, everything there is to know about treatments of this nature is discussed.
What Is Cold Laser Treatment?
Cold laser treatment is a treatment that stimulates the healing process by using low levels of light. It’s referred to as “cold” since the levels of the laser don’t heat the tissues being treated. “Hot” treatments are the ones used for cancer treatments.
How Does It Work?
Low levels of light are used to treat areas where healing is needed to promote cell and tissue regeneration. The laser is moved over the affected area and it destroys the damaged cells to promote new tissue growth. Wavelengths ranging from 600 to 700 nanometers are used for surface tissues. Deeper tissues are treated with higher wavelengths. Treatments vary from one-time-only treatments to regular treatments for chronic discomfort.
What Can Be Treated with Cold Laser Treatments?
Cold laser treatment can be used to treat a variety of pain sources. Lower back pain, for instance, is often treated with cold laser treatments in addition to chiropractic treatments. Other sources of pain that can be treated include:
• Neck pain
• Knee pain
• Shoulder discomfort
• Joint pain
• Muscle pain
• Pain associated with muscle spasms
