Cold laser therapy, sometimes also referred to as low-level laser therapy is quickly becoming the first line of attack in pain control and tissue healing in rehabilitative medicine. Cold laser therapy is safe, painless, non-invasive and the results are often immediate and sustainable. NASA has been using light therapy for over 30 years to accelerate the healing process for their astronauts while in space.

No. Low level lasers do not generate perceivable heat. Therefore, when the laser contacts the skin the patient experiences no warmth or burning as a result of the laser. Most people feel nothing at all while a few may feel a slight tingling during the treatment.

Cold Laser Therapy has been successfully used around the world for over 30 years, with no reported long-term side effects. In the United States the FDA has ruled that the therapy is safe. The laser used in our office is an FDA certified laser. For the past 30 years the technology of Cold Laser Therapy (also known as Low Level Laser Therapy or LLLT) has been formally accepted in Canada and in many other parts of the world such as Europe, Scandinavia, Russia and Japan.

To see if Cold Laser Therapy is appropriate for you or a loved one, simply call our office at 410-877-8077 and tell the receptionist that you are interested in our Cold Laser program. An initial consultation can usually be scheduled within 48 hours. If you qualify for care, treatment may begin as soon as a week in most cases.

Hot (conventional or thermal) and cold (photodynamic) lasers differ in wavelength. This means that the light used for the surgical treatment is different, although they have a similar effect. Photodynamic therapy requires injection of a drug that makes the bleeding vessels more sensitive to the laser, allowing the laser to distinguish it from surrounding tissue. The cold laser does not damage the healthy tissues of the eye.

Laser therapy is effective in treating soft tissue injuries including many medical conditions, degenerative disorders, acute and chronic injuries or pain and wound healing. No one is too young or too old to receive treatment. Laser therapy is recommended for anyone who has pain due to aging or injuries, and anyone who has been or is currently involved with rehabilitation, physiotherapy, or sports medicine.

There are over 2500 research reports published documenting the effectiveness of LILT. The book "Low Level Laser Therapy: Clinical Practice and Scientific Background" is the most recent reference guide for literature documentation. The first systemic scientific research on the biological effects of low level laser was conducted by the late Professor Endre Mester of the Semmelweis Medical University in Budapest, Hungary, 1966.

NO. More than 2000 clinical studies have been conducted on the use of LILT and in all of these studies no mutational effects have ever been observed resulting from therapy with wavelengths in the red or near-infrared ranges in the doses used by laser therapy.

Laser therapy is a safe, effective, and commonly used treatment, providing optimal results in areas such as the removal of unwanted hair skin rejuvenation, wrinkle reduction, leg veins, or tattoos; and the treatment of acne. Lasers work by delivering an intense beam of light that is absorbed by the skin. This light is converted to heat and is absorbed by the cells being targeted, while leaving the surrounding tissue unaffected.

Yes! Laser hair therapy has been proven safe in over 2,500 scientific and medical papers over thirty years of research. Low level laser devices as tested by an FDA approved testing center has been proven 100% safer and meeting or exceeding all standards for this type of laser. The energy produced by the photons does not have the thermal component to cause thermal injury to either the user or operator.

Laser therapy is the use of monochromatic light emission from a low intensity laser diode (250 milliwatts or less) or an array of high intensity super luminous diodes (providing total optical power in the 1000-2000 milliwatt range). Conditions treated include musculoskeletal injuries, chronic and degenerative conditions and wounds.

Laser Therapy or "photobiomodulation", is the use of specific wavelengths of light (red and near infrared) to create therapeutic effects. These effects include improved healing time, pain reduction, increased circulation and decreased swelling. Laser therapy adds energy to living systems. While we are able to explain many of its molecular and biochemical effects, it also adds energy at atomic and subatomic levels.

Sun Valley LASER THERAPY, we use the BioFlex system. It is a highly sophisticated therapeutic system that combines the potential benefits of low intensity laser with super luminous diodes for the effective treatment of many medical disorders. Developed and engineered by Meditech International Incorporated, BioFlex represents the decade's most significant technological advancement in laser therapy.

Most of the patients as well as doctors confuse laser therapy with laser surgery. Both of them are branches of laser medicine. However, laser therapy is entirely different than laser surgery. It encompasses scientific use of healing properties of different laser beams in various diseases to enhance health and beauty.

The Cold Laser uses light waves in the red (near infrared) spectrum of the light prism. The particular wave length of the Cold Laser is specifically chosen to stimulate DNA & RNA replication. In other words, the laser begins a cascade of healing that allows the body to actually regenerate injured tissue and reverse abnormal cell and tissue dysfunction.

Day 1) The treatment involves a quick medical questionnaire to see if you are able to have laser therapy. This is then followed by a goal and strategy session with our laser therapist who will help you understand your addiction, and help you plan your strategy and transition to becoming a non smoker. Then a 25 minute laser therapy session.

Cold Laser Therapy is an accepted physical therapy procedure. It is covered by most medical insurance. Your medical insurance may have constraints with regarding co-payments and prior authorization for therapy. These constraints would apply to Cold Laser as well. We will help you file these treatments with your insurance.

For decades, researchers knew of the healing benefits of everyday, non-coherent light such as sunlight. In small doses, sunlight helps heal skin lesions. Of course if you overexpose yourself to the sun your skin will burn. What if there was a way of safely getting light to deeper tissues? Wouldn’t it help heal those tissues? That is the purpose of cold laser therapy.

Cold therapy is recommended for treating acute injuries including strains, sprains, bruises and burns. Apply cold therapy to reduce blood flow, ease swelling and minimize pain and muscle spasm.

This is a technique use in aiding the horse to heal the injury. (click here to learn how more information)

Cold Laser Therapy can help people with significant pain after failed surgery. Even in patients with substantial soft tissue damage as a result of multiple surgeries.

Answer: Cold laser therapy (also known as low level laser therapy) is another of the many scientifically unsupported treatments that have been promoted to patients with chronic pain conditions who are desperately seeking relief.
