What is cold laser therapy?
Cold laser therapy is a safe, painless, and noninvasive treatment that uses light energy to stimulate your body’s natural healing process. It’s called cold laser therapy because the levels of light aren’t high enough to heat your tissues.
The team at White Integrated Health Clinics offers the multi-wave locked system (MLS) therapy laser, an innovative, FDA-cleared technology that relieves pain and reduces inflammation.
How does cold laser therapy work?
During MLS cold laser therapy, your provider at White Integrated Health Clinics sets the laser to deliver a controlled dose of light energy into targeted areas of your body. The therapeutic wavelengths stimulate tissue regeneration in areas of damaged tissue without harming healthy cells.
What conditions can cold laser therapy treat?
The team at White Integrated Health Clinics uses MLS cold laser therapy to repair damaged tissue and provide relief from pain and inflammation caused by various injuries and diseases.
They can recommend cold laser therapy if you suffer from one or more of the following conditions:
- Sprains and strains
- Plantar fasciitis
- Tennis elbow
- Arthritis and joint pain
- Neuromas
- Sports injuries
- Tendonitis
- Back pain
- Neck pain
- Knee pain
- Postsurgical pain
- Neuropathy
- Carpal tunnel syndrome
- Muscle spasms
Cold laser therapy can also accelerate wound healing and reduce your need for pain-relieving medications.
What should I expect from a cold laser therapy treatment?
First, your provider at White Integrated Health Clinics performs a physical exam and reviews your medical history to make sure you’re a good candidate for cold laser therapy.
The treatment takes only a few minutes and doesn’t require downtime for recovery. Every patient is unique, but most people need a series of 8-15 treatments to achieve optimal results. Some people notice an improvement right away, while others require several treatments before they experience the healing results of cold laser therapy.
MLS cold laser therapy has no negative side effects and is 85-90% effective at relieving pain and reducing inflammation, though individual results may vary.
