Cold Laser Therapy
At Complete Spine and Wellness, we pride ourselves in using state-of-the-art technologies to treat specific injuries. We do not take the "cookie cutter" approach to therapy, as each patient has an individualized treatment program. Part of the individualized treatment may include Cold Laser Therapy.
What is Cold Laser Therapy?
Cold Laser light stimulates the damaged tissue and cells. Due to inflammation and pain response, the tissue is not receiving enough oxygen or nutrients to function correctly and therefore continues to initiate an immune response. By stimulating the cells the body with start to improve issue repair, reduce pain and inflammation. The therapy is precise and accurate and offers safe and effective treatment for a wide variety of conditions. This therapy has been used in the United States for 20 years with no adverse effects.

Low-level Laser Therapy
Low‐level laser therapy is the application of red and near-infrared light over injuries or wounds to improve
soft tissue healing and relieve acute and chronic pain. Low‐level therapy uses cold laser light energy to
direct bio‐stimulative light energy to the body's cells without injuring or damaging them. The
therapy is precise and accurate, and offers safe, effective treatment for a variety of conditions.
Low‐level laser light is compressed light of a wavelength from the cold, red part of the spectrum of
electromagnetic radiation. It is different from natural light in that it is one precise color; it is coherent (it
travels in a straight line), monochromatic (a single wavelength) and polarized (it concentrates its beam in a
defined location or spot). These properties allow laser light to penetrate the skin's surface with no
heat, no skin damage, and no known side effects. Rather, laser light directs biostimulative
light energy to the body's cells, which the cells then convert into chemical energy to promote natural healing
and pain relief.
