When people hear about cold laser therapy, they often think of it as a treatment for pain relief—and while it’s excellent for easing discomfort, this innovative therapy does so much more. At Dr. Ilan Burstein, DC, we use cold laser therapy to help patients not only feel better but also heal better, supporting the body at a deeper level.

What Is Cold Laser Therapy?

Cold laser therapy, also called low-level laser therapy (LLLT), uses specific wavelengths of light to stimulate cellular activity. Unlike surgical lasers, it doesn’t cut or heat tissue. Instead, it penetrates the skin safely to encourage natural healing processes.

Think of it as a gentle boost of energy for your body’s cells.

Beyond Pain Relief: The Benefits You May Not Know

Here are some surprising ways cold laser therapy can support your health:

1. Accelerated Tissue Repair

Cold laser therapy stimulates cell regeneration, helping muscles, ligaments, and tendons repair faster after injury.

2. Reduced Inflammation & Swelling

The therapy increases circulation and decreases fluid buildup, which is why it’s helpful for sprains, arthritis, and even post-surgical recovery.

3. Improved Nerve Function

For patients with neuropathy or nerve-related pain, cold laser therapy can enhance nerve signal transmission and reduce symptoms like tingling or numbness.

4. Enhanced Joint Flexibility

By reducing stiffness and inflammation, patients often notice easier movement in problem areas such as knees, shoulders, and the lower back.

5. Faster Healing for Chronic Conditions

From tendonitis to repetitive strain injuries, cold laser therapy offers long-term benefits by addressing the root cause—not just masking pain.

Who Can Benefit?

Cold laser therapy is safe, non-invasive, and effective for a wide range of patients, including those dealing with:

Sports injuries

Arthritis

Neuropathy

Carpal tunnel syndrome

Chronic back or neck pain

Post-surgical healing needs

A Gentle but Powerful Approach

Unlike medications that only dull pain, cold laser therapy supports the body’s natural healing abilities. When paired with chiropractic care, corrective exercise, or physiotherapy, it creates a comprehensive approach to recovery and wellness.
