What is Cold Laser Therapy?
Cold Laser Therapy involves the application of specific wave lengths of light at specific intensities in order to promote and accelerate the healing process.
Every cell in your body has mitochondria. The mitochondria is the "power plant" of the cell, producing energy molecules to fuel cellular activity. A protein on the surface of the mitochondria absorbs the light from the laser and converts it to biochemical energy. Because more energy is produced, there is more fuel available for the cell to do its duty. For cells involved in the healing process this results in their ability to work at a significantly faster rate. Very simply put, the body converts the laser light into a form of energy that it can use (biochemical energy) to function and repair itself at a higher efficiency level.
FDA Approved...
Researchers have experimented over decades in order to determine which intensities and wave lengths of light work best to promote healing. Laser therapy has been used successfully in Europe, Asia and Canada for several years. In 2002 The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved its use in the US.
How Cold Laser Therapy is used...
Low level laser therapy has almost endless applications because of its generalized approach to healing. Its low intensity does not burn or cut tissue like high-powered surgical lasers and there are no known side effects in its over 40 year history of use. Laser therapy is effective in treating many conditions that are prominent today, such as arthritis, tendinitis, bursitis, sprains/strains, carpal tunnel syndrome, fibromyalgia, and many sports injuries just to name a few. The majority of professional sports teams are utilizing laser therapy to reduce healing time for their athletes. Countless other people are reaping the benefits of laser therapy by eliminating their dependence on pain medications, avoiding surgery, decreasing or eliminating pain, and returning to an active more fulfilling lifestyle.
