Cold Laser Therapy

 

Cold laser therapy, also known as low-level laser therapy (LLLT), is gaining recognition for its ability to alleviate discomfort and promote healing without the need for surgery. At Triangle Spinal Decompression in Cary, NC, we offer this innovative treatment to help you reclaim your quality of life.

​

What Is Cold Laser Therapy?

Cold laser therapy utilizes low-intensity light to target painful or inflamed areas of the body. Unlike surgical lasers that cut tissue, cold laser therapy stimulates cellular repair by increasing blood flow and reducing inflammation. This approach makes it particularly effective for addressing musculoskeletal issues like herniated discs, allowing for healing without invasive procedures.

 

How Cold Laser Therapy Works

During a cold laser therapy session, a wand equipped with light-emitting diodes (LEDs) is gently applied to the skin. The light photons penetrate the tissue and activate cellular energy production, enhancing tissue repair and minimizing inflammation. The therapy typically employs wavelengths ranging from 600 to 1,000 nanometers to achieve optimal results.

 

Cold laser therapy is beneficial for a variety of conditions, including:

- Herniated disc pain

- Arthritis

- Tendonitis

- Muscle strains

- Fibromyalgia

- Joint pain

 

Key Benefits for Patients with Herniated Discs

​

1. Non-invasive and Painless

Cold laser therapy is a non-invasive treatment that requires no surgical

intervention or lengthy recovery times, making it a great alternative to more

aggressive treatments.

 

2. Reduces Inflammation and Pain

By effectively alleviating nerve compression and muscle tension, cold laser therapy can significantly reduce pain associated with herniated discs.

 

3. Accelerates Healing

The therapy promotes faster tissue repair, which can lead to a reduced recovery time and quicker return to your daily activities.

 

4. Safe and Comfortable

Most patients report minimal discomfort during and after treatment, making it a safe option for those looking to manage pain without harsh side effects.

​

What to Expect During Treatment

Cold laser therapy sessions are quick and efficient, typically lasting only 30 to 60 seconds per treatment area. Patients are provided with protective eyewear, and the procedure is painless. While some individuals may experience immediate relief, others might notice improvements after several sessions.

Effectiveness of Cold Laser Therapy

Research supports the effectiveness of cold laser therapy in reducing back pain and inflammation, including symptoms associated with herniated discs. A 2015 meta-analysis indicated that this treatment helps alleviate low back and joint pain, positioning it as a valuable addition to your musculoskeletal care regimen.
