Thiesing Family Chiropractic Center Discusses Cold Laser Therapy

An injury or musculoskeletal disorder can cause ongoing pain and mobility problems. Our technology offers new ways to relieve discomfort and improve healing to resolve these problems. Cold laser therapy is a non-invasive treatment to reduce pain and stimulate faster healing. At Thiesing Family Chiropractic Center in Columbia, TN, we offer cold laser therapy for our patients.

Understand Cold Laser Therapy

Lasers use a highly focused beam of light to perform various medical tasks. Laser light can be used at low frequencies as a treatment method for pain, inflammation, and poor healing. A hand-held device is held over the skin's surface and passed over the affected area. Intense light stimulates biological processes within the body, and results in less pain, reduced inflammation, and faster healing. The treatment is non-invasive and painless. Some patients may feel some tingling at the site. After a session, you can continue your normal activities.

Conditions Cold Laser Therapy Can Help

Cold laser therapy can reduce inflammation from arthritis, improve the back and help common tendonitis. It is often used to relieve knee and neck pain. Cold lasers can minimize discomfort from carpal tunnel syndrome. It can also help with systemic pain, such as fibromyalgia and rheumatoid arthritis. Some patients experience relief immediately after treatment. However, several sessions may be necessary depending on the severity of the problem.
