Cold Laser Therapy
Laser is an acronym for the words ‘Light Amplification of Stimulation of Energy and Radiation’. Lasers can be of different types. The one used in physiotherapy for treatment is commonly called a cold laser which means that it is not designed to burn, cut, pierce or remove tissue. On the contrary the cold laser is designed to send in a high energy light beam into the soft tissue and promote through heating the soft tissue healing and increase in oxygenated blood supply. This oxygenated blood supply thereby promotes nutrients to be deposited where they are needed in the soft tissue and healing to take place.
Overview
The cold laser is very effective in treating long-standing or even short-term aches and pains. It is an effective treatment for PMS related back and neck pain, migraines and headaches. It is an effective tool in treating neck pain as well as being around the spine after a motor vehicle accident or back injury from work. The cold laser will work also to treat anywhere in the body particularly around the back shoulders neck legs and ankles. Depending on the skill of the operator it is a useful adjunct along with manual therapy or interferential therapy to help in promoting recovery for the client’s condition. Cold laser therapy is pain free. It typically does not produce sensation during the course of treatment. An individual will hear maybe a few beeps during operation of the device. It is not uncommon to have some degree of pain relief and improved function after the first treatment.
