Cold laser therapy is increasingly being used in medical and chiropractic establishments. Spine Care in Scarsdale, NY, has been offering the treatment for quite some time. this low-level laser is used to directly stimulate the cells in order to encourage better function. The laser emits no heat and is used at certain wavelengths associated with the condition being treated. When the cells and tissues of the body are fully functional and improved by the therapy, the natural process of cell regeneration can help the body combat inflammation, chronic pain, arthritis, migraines, and even scarring. Medical conditions that benefit from this type of therapy include chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, carpal tunnel, autoimmune disorders, and metabolic disorders. The best thing about cold laser treatment is that it’s non-invasive and completely painless. Since it’s a low-level laser, patients generally do not feel anything during treatment. Recently we conducted a survey of cold laser patients of Spine Care in Scarsdale, NY, and the vast majority reported that their sessions were basically pain-free. The procedure is FDA approved and may be effective in getting the patient off prescribed medications. Since the body is stimulated at the cellular level, the cells that once were dormant or simply not doing their job are in full force, meaning that the pills being taken to make up for this may become unnecessary as the treatment progresses. Check with your physician before stopping any medication or beginning a new laser treatment. Spine Care patients who've just been given treatment at the Scarsdale, NY cold laser location usually enjoy immediate pain relief after their first cold laser treatment. It isn’t always complete, however, and follow-up treatments will be necessary as needed until the pain has completely subsided. After only two treatment sessions, stiff and achy muscles should be more relaxed and on their way to healing. In some instances, a patient with a chronic pain condition may experience an increase in localized pain. This only means that the procedure is working and that the cells are working hard to heal the body. Although it is uncomfortable to experience this pain increase, it generally goes away within a couple of days. Before therapy begins, patients are warned not to look at the laser. A direct look into the light source may cause permanent damage to the eyes, so protective eyewear should be utilized during the procedure at all times. While most patients will notice a decrease in pain almost immediately, it may take up to three treatments to experience significant relief. With results that fast, it’s no wonder cold laser therapy has increased in popularity. Talk with your general physician or chiropractor about the benefits associated with low-light laser therapy. You may be closer than you think to experiencing a reduction in chronic symptoms.
