Cold Laser Therapy

Low Level Laser Therapy

N8 Family Chiropractic incorporates the best in treatment options. We want to provide our patients with unmatched care to resolve their worst pains and problems. For this reason, we have incorporated advanced super-pulsed cold laser therapy (also called low level laser therapy) into our clinic.

Often used in conjunction with chiropractic adjustments, cold laser therapy, which uses infra-red light diodes, speeds up the healing process. Like other sources of energy, light can be used to regenerate cells. The end result is that absorbed energy is used to repair the tissue, reduce pain and/or restore an otherwise impaired area to it’s normal state.

Frequently Asked Questions for Cold Laser Therapy

What does cold laser therapy feel like?

During cold laser therapy, patients do not typically feel any discomfort. The laser device is gently placed over the affected area, and while the laser is active, there is no heat or pain sensation. Some patients might feel slightly tingling due to the laser’s interaction with the tissue.

How quickly can I expect to see results from cold laser therapy?

The response to cold laser therapy can vary depending on the individual and the condition being treated. Some patients may notice improvement after the first few sessions, while others may require more treatments to see benefits. Chronic conditions typically take longer to respond than acute ones.

Can cold laser therapy be used in conjunction with other forms of treatment?

Yes, cold laser therapy is often part of a broader treatment plan. It can be effectively combined with other treatments, such as physical therapy, chiropractic adjustments, and medication. This integrative approach can help to accelerate recovery and enhance the effectiveness of different therapies.

Are there any side effects associated with cold laser therapy?

Cold laser therapy is considered safe, but side effects are rare when performed by a qualified professional. Unlike surgical or high-power lasers, cold lasers do not generate heat and, therefore do not burn the skin or other tissues. Patients typically experience no lasting side effects, making it a non-invasive alternative to more aggressive treatment options.

Is there anyone who should avoid cold laser therapy?

While cold laser therapy is safe for most people, there are certain conditions where caution is advised. It is generally not recommended for use over cancerous areas, directly on the thyroid gland, or on pregnant women’s abdomens. As with any treatment, discussing your medical history with a healthcare provider is important to determine if cold laser therapy is appropriate for you.
