What Is Cold Laser Therapy?

Also known as Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT), Cold Laser Therapy uses specific wavelengths of light (usually between 600 and 1000 nm) to penetrate the skin and stimulate tissue regeneration at the cellular level.

Unlike surgical lasers that cut tissue, cold lasers do not generate heat, making them completely non-invasive and safe. The light energy is absorbed by mitochondria in your cells, triggering:

  • Increased ATP production

  • Reduced inflammation

  • Enhanced tissue repair

  • Pain modulation via nerve inhibition

What Cold Laser Therapy Helps Treat

Cold Laser Therapy is ideal for treating acute injuries, chronic conditions, and soft tissue damage in a drug-free, pain-free way.

Tendonitis and bursitis

Ligament sprains

Muscle strains

Knee pain and osteoarthritis

Plantar fasciitis and heel pain

TMJ and jaw inflammation

Tennis elbow / Golfer's elbow

Rotator cuff injuries

Post-surgical recovery

Nerve root irritation and sciatica

How It Works

The laser emits photons that penetrate deep into tissue layers. These photons are absorbed by cellular photo-receptors, leading to:

Mitochondrial stimulation for increased ATP (cellular energy)

Nitric oxide release, enhancing circulation

Inflammation suppression at the chemical level

Pain pathway inhibition via modulation of nerve conduction

This cascade of biological responses shortens healing time and restores tissue function more efficiently than passive treatments.
