Our Surrey and Abbotsford, BC Laser Therapy Services
Total Care Health offers cold laser also known as Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT).
Cold laser has many different healing properties although exactly how it affects the cells is not well understood. Nevertheless, there is good peer-reviewed science supporting the benefits of cold laser therapy for inflammation, swelling, pain, healing injured tissue, and also for hair growth and regrowth, and not just in humans, but also in veterinary medicine.
What is Cold Laser Therapy?
Cold laser therapy is the use of light on injured or painful areas to create photochemical changes in cells and tissue repair. There is no heat, so it doesn’t hurt. There are no side effects.
Through optical amplification, the light is concentrated into a light beam, which is like a low-powered laser, that penetrates the skin. This concentrated light works on the tissue below the skin to enable the healing process.
This light therapy is effective and well tolerated by patients because it doesn’t hurt. Cold laser therapy helps tissues heal faster, so patients swear by it.
Another benefit is that treatments with the cold laser only take a few minutes. So, it’s quick and easy to be treated. Fortunately, many supplemental health insurance plans are starting to cover the costs of treatment with cold laser. This is something we can discuss with you.
What’s important is that you receive this cold laser therapy from a trained professional using the right equipment. At Total Care Health we are experienced at administering cold laser therapy.
