What is cold laser?
The cold laser is a device used to stimulate the cells and encourage blood flow.Laser is an acronym for "light amplification through stimulated emission ofradiation," and this low-level light is directed at the site of a wound, injury, orarea of pain to open the blood vessels.
1.2 How does a cold laser work?
Cold lasers send a beam of concentrated light into the tissue.
The light can go very far into the tissue, but because it's low intensity, it causes no heat or damage. Instead, the light is absorbed by the cells, fueling them. This can stimulate injured cells into repairing themselves.
2.What conditions is it used for?
Cold lasers are often used as a complement to other treatments. They helpimprove conditions involving pain and inflammation, for example, arthritis,tendonitis, muscle strain, soft tissue injuries, back pain, dermatological issues,and wounds. Cold lasers have also been shown to speed up healing in injuries.
The effects of cold lasers include: increasing cell growth, increasing blood flow,reducing inflammation, reducing pain, and accelerating the healing of wounds.Therefore, they can be used to treat a wide variety of conditions.
However, cold lasers are not a cure-all. Cold lasers cannot reduce or eliminatetissue growth from conditions such as bone spurs, ear canal mineralization, anddeformities from arthritis.
