Healing Cold Laser Therapy

Low level "Cold" Laser Therapy has been used consistently and successfully on human athletes for many years. It has become a mainstay in professional sports where fast healing is not just desirable but necessary to remain competitive. Jeff Spencer, DC, a team Chiropractor for Lance Armstrong and the Discovery Channel Cycling Team, performs laser treatments on the cyclist before and after every ride on the Tour de France. Dr. Spencer is adamant that laser is an integral part of his treatment protocol and he won't leave home without it.

Healing Cold Laser Therapy has more recently entered the veterinary world as a unique, effective therapy. This technique was developed by William L. Inman, DVM, and has been shown to help in treating arthritis pain, to accelerate wound healing, and to reduce acute tissue inflammation. By using this high-tech instrumentation, treatment is non-invasive and state of the art.

Laser (Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission Rays)Therapy is safe, highly concentrated coherent light which can be altered to attain many different outcomes. It is a natural and biological therapy which uses light to restore health to ailing cells.

Healing Cold Laser Therapy uses a wavelength different from "hot" lasers that are used for hair removal, surgical and other therapeutic instruments that heat tissue, making it a very specialized modality. The technology of Healing Cold Laser Therapy integrates biology and quantum mechanics. In layman terms, the cold laser is a biomodulator that will up-regulate or down-regulate the targeted area of the body by the use of coherent light at a precise wavelength. The laser light communicates to the cells stimulation them to heal themselves, grow, change and survive. The beams are red in color, and some lasers have multiple beams programmed at specific frequencies to target the areas of involvement, effected nerve root, lymph node drainage, brain or other organs. The treatment allows for focus on the injury while also stimulating the brain. This allows for not only healing, but also neurological reorganization and reorientation at the brain level.
