Cold Laser Therapy in Chandler

What’s cold laser therapy? 

Cold laser therapy is low-intensity laser therapy that stimulates healing while using low levels of light. 

The technique is called “cold” laser therapy, because the low levels of light are not enough to heat the body’s tissue. The level of light is low when compared to other forms of laser therapy, such as those compared to destroy tumors and coagulate tissue. 

Surgical and aesthetic lasers heat the tissue being treated. True to its name, cold laser therapy does not. 

How does cold laser therapy work? 

During this procedure, our Chandler chiropractor uses different wavelengths and outputs of low-level light are applied directly to a targeted area. The body tissue then absorbs the light. The red and near-infrared light cause a reaction, and then the damaged cells respond with a physiological reaction that promotes regeneration.

 Although you’ll feel the laser device touching your skin, the procedure is painless and noninvasive. There will be no sound and you’ll feel no vibration or heat. Each treatment typically takes only a few minutes.
