Cold Laser Therapy

Advances in medical science have introduced cold laser therapy as an affordable option in personal care and medical treatment. Considered a non invasive therapy, Nevada Spine and Disc is proud to provide Cold Laser Therapy treatments to their Las Vegas patients. Ask to use Cold Laser Therapy in your overall health and wellness treatment, or you may be advised to add this to your health plan by our doctors. 

Modern Medicine, Ancient Roots

Just like the abacus evolved into the computer, many alternative medicine practices are evolving to include laser therapy. Using cold to mend and treat a variety of ailments has been used for thousands of years, but only until recently was it able to be so precisely applied, and in such levels that true medical benefits occur.

The first cold laser was FDA cleared in 2001. Cold lasers are sometimes called Low Level Lasers (LLL) or soft lasers. In general, our cold laser is used to provide broad coverage of tissue and bone with IR or Red light photons to reduce pain and stimulate healing.

Non-Intrusive Option

Cold Laser therapy offers a non-intrusive option to acupuncture and surgery. It also provides a non-addicting treatment that eliminates the complications of long-term drug treatment programs. Cold lasers are FDA cleared and widely use for treatment of:

 
  • Acute and chronic pain
  • Ligament sprains
  • Muscle strain
  • Soft tissue injuries
  • Tendonitis
  • Arthritis
  • Tennis elbow
  • Back pain
  • Bursitis
  • Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
  • Fibromyalgia

Healing With Cold Lasers

The cold laser produces an impulse of light at a specific wavelength, 980nm that minimizes reflection and scattering but maximized absorption of the energy (in photons) at a desired depth.

Some conditions like joint pain require a deep penetration (4-5 inches) that can only be achieved using a powerful laser emitter, like the one we use in this office.

The goal of laser therapy is to deliver light energy units from red and infrared laser radiation, called photons, to damaged cells.  Those photons are absorbed by the cells through laser therapy stimulate the mitochondria to accelerate production of ATP. This biochemical increase in cell energy is used to transform live cells from a state of illness to a stable, healthy state.

Over 4000 studies have been conducted in recent years to validate the effectiveness of cold laser therapy

Therapeutic Laser Biological Effects

  • Increased Cell Growth: Laser photons accelerates cellular reproduction and growth.
  • Increased Metabolic Activity: Photons initiate a higher outputs of specific enzymes, greater oxygen and food particle loads for blood cells and thus greater production of the basic food source for cells, Adenosine Tri-Phosphate (ATP).
  • Faster Wound Healing: Cold laser photons stimulates fibroblast development and accelerates collagen synthesis in damaged tissue
  • Anti-Inflammatory Action: Laser photons reduce swelling caused by bruising or inflammation of joints resulting in enhanced joint mobility.
  • Increased Vascular Activity: Laser photons induce temporary vasodilation that increases blood flow to effected areas.
  • Reduced Fibrous Tissue Formation:Laser photons reduce the formation of scar tissue following tissue damage from: cuts, scratches, burns or post surgery.
  • Stimulated Nerve Function: Laser photon exposure speeds the process of nerve cell reconnect ion to bring the numb areas back to life.
  • Pain Reduction: Almost all systems have a mode of operation specifically designed to reduce pain.
