Cold Laser Therapy in Howell, MI
Looking for a gentle, drug-free way to speed up healing? At Family Chiropractic in Howell, MI , cold laser therapy uses specific wavelengths of light to reduce pain and swelling, relax muscle spasms and help your body repair itself faster.
What Is Cold Laser Therapy?
Cold laser therapy, also called low-level laser therapy, uses specific wavelengths of light to interact with tissue and help accelerate the healing process. Unlike surgical lasers, a cold laser does not heat or cut tissue. The light energy penetrates the skin and is absorbed by cells, where it helps stimulate repair, improve circulation and calm inflammation.
Laser therapy can be used for people suffering from both acute and chronic conditions to reduce pain and swelling, increase function and relieve muscle spasms.
