How Cold Lasers Work
A small handheld device is used during each session. Various wavelengths and outputs of low-level light are applied directly to a targeted area such as the knee or low back.
The body tissue then absorbs the light and the red and near-infrared light produce a reaction. The damaged cells respond with a physiological reaction that promotes regeneration.
One of the reasons why cold laser therapy is gaining in popularity is it can provide lasting pain relief which can help people get off of their pain medication.
