At CK Chiropractic Center, our chiropractor specializes in the use of cold laser therapy here in San Diego. Cold laser therapy is a non-invasive treatment of musculoskeletal and spinal conditions. Read on to learn more about what cold laser therapy is and how it helps.

What is Cold Laser Therapy?

Cold laser therapy employs a painless laser to treat painful restricted joints and muscles. Our chiropractor uses this treatment alongside physical therapy treatments to accelerate rehabilitation.

Does Cold Laser Therapy Hurt?

Some of our patients report feeling a slight tingling and most say they never feel anything except relief from pain afterward. Regular cold laser therapy sessions will relieve your pain and improve your range of motion while improving your body’s natural ability to heal itself.

What are the Benefits of Cold Laser Therapy?

• Reduced inflammation
• Improved blood flow
• Acceleration of repair of damaged tissue
• Increase in cellular energy

What Should I Expect?

Because a cold laser therapy session only lasts between 5 and 20 minutes, patients often schedule an appointment during their lunch break and are on the way home. Our doctor will typically recommend 8-15 sessions depending on your injury. While the effect of cold laser therapy is almost immediate and more noticeable a few hours after the treatment, frequent sessions will further reduce your pain and prevent it from returning.
