Cold Laser Therapy

For the last couple of years, our patients have benefited from cold laser therapy.  The reason why it’s called a “cold” laser is because this type of laser does not burn tissue such as surgical lasers do.  Cold laser therapy works by stimulating more adenosine triphosphate (ADP) to the injured tissue.  ADP is a biological building block of energy.  Increased ATP to the injured tissue promotes healing.  Tendinitis and mild to moderate sprains of the elbow, wrist, hand, ankle, and foot have responded well to cold laser therapy in our office.
