Laser Therapy

What is Cold Laser Therapy?

How it works: Cold Laser Therapy is a form of therapy which uses a low intensity laser to heal soft tissue injuries. The laser light is of certain wavelengths which have been studied to have positive healing effects.  Cold Lasers can offer focused beams of light which can be used to target their healing effects on specific areas.  The application of cold laser is felt by the patient as a very mild heat to the targeted area.

Treatment Time is very short, ranging from 2 -6 minutes; with noticable results in just a few treatments.

How Can It Help: Cold Laser Therapy is similar to both Ultrasound and Electrical Stimulation.  It has been gaining popularity for its advances ability to treat soft tissue sprains/strains, soft tissue pain, swelling, joint pain, reduce scar tissue, inflammation, and arthritis pain.  At Oakland Chiropractic, we use the Micro-Light Laser with amazing effectiveness and results.  The ML-830 is the industry standard in portable laser therapy, offering the deepest penetrating wavelength and the most  portability of any laser system.
