When it comes to bodily injuries, aches, and pains there are several treatment options available from home remedies to traditional medicine, and holistic approaches. Nowadays, more and more people are becoming inclined towards holistic therapies and always looking for a non-surgical approach to heal their problems. Cold laser therapy in Denver is one such alternative treatment that is non-invasive and drug-free in nature.

Cold laser therapy has many health benefits and often physiotherapists, chiropractors, as well as dermatologists, use cold laser therapy for the treatment of various conditions. Let us take an in-depth look at the working mechanism and benefits of cold laser therapy.


What Is Cold Laser Therapy?

Before we dive into the benefits of cold laser therapy, let us first understand what it actually is. Cold laser therapy is also known as other names like low-level laser therapy,  low-power laser therapy, soft laser biostimulation, and photobiomodulation. This therapy uses low-intensity laser lights to promote the healing of the body. It works by stimulating our natural healing response for optimum healing of your condition.


How Does Cold Laser Therapy Work?

In this therapy, different wavelengths of low-level laser light are directly applied to the affected area and the tissues in this area absorb the light. These laser lights cause a reaction within the tissues in the affected area and the damaged cells in the area go through a physiological change that promotes regeneration of cells. 

The superficial tissue layer is usually given laser lights of wavelength between 600-700 nanometers and the deeper layers are given the light of wavelength 780 -950 nanometers. It is a painless procedure, and while you will feel the laser device touching your skin, you won’t feel any heat or vibration. One laser therapy session lasts about a couple of minutes.
