How Does Cold Laser Therapy Pain Management Treatment Work?

At Dr. Phillips Chiropractic, Nutrition and Wellness, we are pleased to offer cold laser therapy for pain management. We know sometimes that words like "laser" can make a pain management technique seem scarier than it really is. Cold laser therapy is nothing to be nervous about. Take a few minutes today to learn more about this therapeutic treatment and explore whether it can help you. 

What is Cold Laser Therapy? 

In the cold laser therapy pain management treatment, our San Antonio chiropractor uses a special laser, which is roughly the size of a flashlight. By holding this laser up to your skin, we direct a focused beam of laser light into the skin. The light is able to penetrate into your cells for non-invasive healing of injuries, wounds, and scar tissue. 

As a direct result of the laser contact, damaged cells can start to repair themselves from the inside out!

Cold laser therapy is a natural complement to chiropractic care and other holistic healing methods. The lasers increase circulation in affected tissue, which brings cleansing blood and allows toxins to flow out of the tissue. Cold lasers have been used for healing since the 1960s and are a proven, safe technology.  Since the treatment it non-invasive, it can be readily combined with traditional and holistic care, and is safe for individuals of all ages. There are no side effects to this treatment.
