Being in pain is never fun. Chronic pain and inflammation often hold people back from participating in activities that bring them joy. These ailments often prevent people from living full lives – but many are unaware of cold laser therapy. This non-invasive, non-surgical procedure can help people return to a previous level of functioning.
According to the CDC, in 2019, 20.4% of adults in the United States experienced chronic pain, and 7.4% of adults had chronic pain that significantly limited their ability to engage in daily tasks, which is referred to as “high-impact” chronic pain.
Many chronic pain and inflammation solutions involve medication for managing symptoms, which can have unpleasant side effects, including dependency, gastrointestinal issues, or cognitive impairment.
Cold laser therapy is an FDA approved and non-invasive low-level laser therapy used for pain mitigation. The treatment is administered in minutes and utilizes a small hand-held device that applies a “cold” laser (which earns its name from the low-level intensity compared to other laser treatments). In some cases, it can also be used to treat lesions and wounds.
The laser stimulates the regeneration of damaged cells and tissue. This therapy is painless, fast-acting, and non-invasive, making it an excellent alternative for those who are apprehensive about treating chronic pain and inflammation with surgery or medication.
