How It Works
During a cold laser therapy session, various wavelengths and outputs of low-level light are applied directly to a targeted region of the body. The body’s tissue takes in the light. The red and near-infrared light produces a reaction. The cells that are damaged have a physiological response that promotes regeneration.
Why This Laser Is Superior to Older Varieties
The types of lasers that were used in the past utilised continuous laser beams that created significant heat. According to our chiropractor, the problem was judging the exposure as areas of inflammation, which are already hot, don’t take kindly to being heated more.
The Class IV laser is a pulse laser, which is considered to be much safer than older types. With cold laser therapy, tissues will never get overheated so this type of laser works exceptionally well to address any type of inflammation.
