Cold laser therapy is low-intensity laser therapy that stimulates healing while using low levels of light
How does cold laser therapy work?
During this procedure, 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 the damaged cells respond with a physiological reaction that promotes regeneration.
What can Cold Laser Therapy treat?
Sports medicine and physical therapy practices often use cold laser therapy in the treatment of minor injuries and sprains, such as:
· ligament sprains
· muscle strains
· tendonitis
· bursitis
· tennis elbow
· neck pain

Aches and pains
Pain clinics use cold laser therapy to help people with acute or chronic pain from conditions such as fibromyalgia and carpal tunnel syndrome.
Skin rejuvenation
Cold laser therapy is used to encourage skin rejuvenation. Dermatologists use it to treat various skin problems, including:
· acne and acne scars

Wound healing
Cold laser therapy is also used to treat difficult-to-heal wounds, including wounds related to diabetes.
Acupuncture
Acupuncturists use cold laser therapy for clients who are uncomfortable with needles. The low-level laser beams can stimulate your acupoints the same way needles do, but without piercing your skin.
"As an engineer I have done research on other research projects that were in progress; The laser is being used in a number of different ways, civilian and military including healthcare. It has an unbelievable effect on relieving pain. Pain simply leaves the body when the laser is used, it is miraculous! I had my treatment at North Cobb Spine and Nerve Institute and all the staff are wonderful. Very few places are missing this technology because it is so new." - James Coleman
