Cold Laser Therapy in Olympia

Inflammation in the muscles and tissues of your body can cause pain and discomfort. This can result from an injury, stress on the body, or even eating the wrong foods. Many treatments are available to address the resulting symptoms; not so many for the root cause.

When tissues are damaged, cells begin to die, and scar tissue begins to form. This can slow or limit the healing process. Cold laser units are engineered to produce the essential wavelengths of light necessary to stimulate the damaged cells, break up the formed scar tissue, and stimulate the healing process. Our laser has both red laser and infrared to target different conditions at specific wavelengths.

How Does It Help?

Light has been used as a natural, healing source of energy for thousands of years. Cold laser therapy, aka Low Level Light therapy, has been around since the 1970s. Laser therapy stimulates the body’s natural ability to heal at a cellular level. Providing energy to your cells, it triggers a series of chemical reactions to stimulate your body’s natural healing process.

After treatment, minor joint aches, inflammation, pain, and stiffness may be reduced due to increased blood circulation in the area. Range of motion and function improve, wounds heal faster, and there’s less scar tissue. Improvement is usually seen quickly; the more chronic your condition, the more sessions you’ll need for full healing.

Conditions That May Benefit

A major advantage of cold laser therapy is the ability to penetrate deep into tissues and joints, and also treat conditions closer to the skin surface. Patients report feeling little or no sensation during the process, regardless of how deep the light waves penetrate. The damaged cells eventually absorb the energy, providing them with the boost they need to begin working.
