Cold Laser Therapy in MIlton, ON

Compared to numerous alternative therapies like acupuncture, chiropractic, and physical therapy, cold laser therapy is a relatively new medical innovation. High-quality cold laser equipment is now accessible to practitioners and consumers thanks to recent advancements in low-level laser technology. Low Level Lasers (LLL) or soft lasers are other names for cold laser therapy. Cold laser therapy offers a non-invasive treatment for pain that is an alternative to surgery or medication. When administered by a professional, cold laser therapy can be effective for a wide range of conditions. Cold lasers are FDA-approved and frequently used to treat:

  • Ligament sprains: Ligaments are fibrous tissues that hold bones or cartilage together.
  • Muscle strain: Micro-tearing in muscle tissue from strenuous activity.
  • Tendonitis: Repetitive strain can cause irritation of the tendons attaching your muscles to your bones.
  • Arthritis: Inflammation or swelling of the joints.
  • Tennis elbow: A painful condition resulting from strain on the tendons in your elbow.
  • Carpal Tunnel Syndrome: Buildup of scar tissue in the carpal tunnel causing compression of the nerves.
What is low level laser therapy, and is it for me?

The use of soft laser therapy as a supplemental or alternative therapy for wound healing and conventional medical practice is expanding. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has given its approval for a number of ailments. When used under the supervision of a physician or other qualified practitioner, cold laser therapy is regarded as safe. It's also non-invasive and painless, which is a benefit. It doesn't call for any kind of preparation or medication. In light of this, carcinomas and malignant lesions should not be treated with cold laser therapy. For use at home, it should not be applied to the thyroid or eyes.

Pregnant women are advised to avoid cold laser therapy because it is unknown how it may affect developing infants. Low level laser therapy also takes up a lot of time compared to other treatments. Even though each session of cold laser therapy only lasts a few minutes, it can take up to a month (with up to four treatments per week) before you can determine how well it is working. Additionally, your insurance may not provide coverage. Our specialists will evaluate you during your initial consultation to ensure that cold laser therapy is right for you. Being as honest and upfront as possible during consultation can help the specialist make effective recommendations about your treatment.

Can I do cold laser light therapy at home?

Devices for cold laser therapy are easily accessible for usage at home. There are a few crucial factors to take into account when buying a laser device for home use. First off, the output of lasers varies, and some may not be as powerful as they claim to be. Non-laser Light-Emitting Diodes are some of them (LEDs). Second, some home cold therapy items for sale make grandiose promises regarding their abilities. Some claim to aid in weight loss, skin rejuvenation, quitting smoking, or hair growth. Others claim to be able to treat wrinkles, high blood pressure, or other issues. Some of these assertions might not be true.

For the best results, it is recommended that you rely on the expertise of professional therapists and technicians when seeking low level laser therapy. This ensures that you will get the highest quality treatment with the most effective equipment available. This will also prevent ineffective treatment as our therapists will determine the best course of treatment for you during your consultation. Cold laser therapy is currently the subject of continuing research into its efficacy and safety. Accordingly, optimal treatment protocol is still being fine-tuned. However, supporters believe that it can be an excellent substitute for those who want to stay away from intrusive procedures.

Benefits and risks associated with low intensity laser therapy

Relief from pain brought on by ailments including arthritis, tendinitis, ulcers, fibromyalgia, tears, sprains, headaches, overuse injuries, back pain, musculoskeletal pain, and plantar fasciitis is one of the main advantages of cold laser therapy. Even though you might get some alleviation after your first session, the best results typically occur after multiple sessions. Since cold laser therapy is non-invasive, there is no need for the lengthy recovery period associated with surgical procedures. There are no pharmaceuticals involved, and there have been no negative effects reported. Cold lasers don't heat the body's tissues like surgical lasers do.

Depending on the origin of your knee discomfort, any additional medical concerns you may have, the precise low power laser therapy or equipment used, or your individual circumstances, cold laser therapy results may vary. Results can vary because there is no established low level light therapy dosage or methodology. Some medical professionals may not advise cold laser therapy because they are dubious about it. Before, it wasn't understood how visible light affected tissue repair. Cold laser therapy was viewed as a fraud by many professionals. More doctors are in favour of it now since new studies show that it does ease pain.
