Cold Laser Therapy in Lake Worth and Boca Raton
As part of our practice’s commitment to providing state-of-the-art healthcare solutions that help patients heal and enjoy vibrant health, we are pleased to offer cold laser therapy. Also known as low-level laser therapy (LLLT), cold laser therapy is a noninvasive treatment that perfectly aligns with chiropractic care.
This innovative approach stimulates the body’s natural healing mechanisms by using low-intensity laser light, speeding up the recovery process and promoting tissue repair. Originating in Europe and gaining popularity worldwide, cold laser therapy has become a staple in soft tissue modalities and practices.
How Does It Work?
Cold laser therapy works by directing specific wavelengths of light to the affected area. These wavelengths penetrate the skin and interact with tissues to promote cellular regeneration and increase blood flow. The laser stimulates the production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the source of a cell’s energy.
ATP is essential for cellular activities. The mitochondria, known as the powerhouse of the cell, produce ATP. When stimulated by laser, the mitochondria generate a more consistent output of ATP, ensuring that cells have enough energy for effective tissue repair. This continuous supply of ATP helps break the cycle of injury and reinjury, making it especially beneficial for those with chronic conditions or repetitive stress injuries.
Our Approach
At Midtown Clinic of Chiropractic, we integrate cold laser therapy into our comprehensive treatment protocols. It is particularly effective in reducing pain and inflammation and accelerating healing.
We use this modality for various conditions, including arthritis, neck pain, back pain, sports injuries, and motor vehicle accidents. By incorporating it with our decompression machinery and other modalities, we enhance the healing of some of the most challenging conditions we treat. Cold laser therapy is also versatile, targeting different body parts, whether shallow or deep, making it effective for conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome, tendinitis, and plantar fasciitis.
What to Expect
A typical cold laser therapy session lasts between 15 to 20 minutes, depending on the size and severity of the area being treated. The procedure is painless, and most patients do not feel anything, although some might experience a slight warmth or tingling sensation. Multiple sessions are usually required to achieve optimal results, with each session building on the previous one to enhance mitochondrial activation and ATP reserves.
