Cold Laser Therapy
Welcome to Spring Chiropractic! Are you looking for a chiropractor in Spring, TX that offers cold laser therapy for pain relief? At Spring Chiropractic, we believe that this is holistic health care and pain management program that is painless and works naturally.
Cold laser therapy or sometimes referred to as Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) uses specific wavelengths of light to interact with damaged tissue and help repair it by accelerating the process of healing. Patients that are seeking a non-invasive way to eliminate acute or chronic pain often use this method. Cold laser therapy relieves swelling and inflammation of joints, muscles, tendon, and cartilage.
Many people are confused about what cold laser and hot laser means. Basically, we are dealing with two types of lasers: one is high powered and the other is low powered. This does not mean that cold laser therapy is ineffective or not as powerful as a hot laser. Hot lasers are high powered to cut through skin and perform surgery. Hot lasers have the potential to burn you.
Cold laser therapy works at a lower frequency so that it does not harm tissue. A cold laser can stimulate healing and jump start tissue repair by without burning or harming the patient.
