Cold Laser Therapy 

How it works:
Within the injured musculoskeletal tissue, low-level laser light initiates increased microcirculation, and enhanced tissue regeneration. The overall effects are decreased pain and inflammation, and increased range of motion. When the body has an injury the cells are damaged and fail to function within normal parameters. Low level lasers penetrate deeply into the skin and work by restoring this abnormal cellular function. Physiologic effects include improved metabolism, circulation and tissue healing. Cold laser therapy helps reduce healing times.  The laser can be used to do everything electrical muscle stimulation, ultrasound, and all other therapeutic modalities do in one unit and in less time.  

The cold laser device has gained FDA approval for the non-surgical treatment of neck and shoulder complaints and is being used widely in the NFL and by Lance Armstrong and the USPS Tour de France team doctor. The beneficial effects of the Erchonia laser are currently being researched by leading plastic surgeons for use in liposuction procedures to reduce swelling and speed healing times.
