Scientifically-backed, effective pain relief options are some of the benefits of cold laser therapy

Unlike lasers used in surgical procedures designed to remove internal tumors or seal lymph or blood vessels, cold laser therapy utilizes levels of light so low that they don’t increase heat within the treated tissues. Thus, the name “cold” laser therapy.

According to research findings, these cold laser applications, which are also referred to as low-level laser therapy (LLLT) or photobiomodulation, are useful for multiple purposes. Two of these purposes are pain relief and enhanced healing.

A combined effect

If cold laser applications both reduce pain and enhance healing, patients win in two ways. Not only do they have to struggle less with the discomfort they are feeling — without having to take opioids — but they also feel better faster. That makes the benefits of cold laser therapy an option that should be considered.
