Low-Level Laser/Cold Laser Treatment
Low-level laser therapy (LLLT) is a form of medicine that applies low-level (low-power) lasers or light-emitting diodes (LEDs) to the surface of the body. Whereas high-power lasers are used in laser medicine to cut or destroy tissue, the application of low-power lasers relieves pain and stimulates and enhances cell function, improves tissue repair (skin wounds, muscle, tendon, bone, nerves), reduces inflammation and reduces pain wherever the beam is applied. Usually applied by a doctor or therapist, treatments typically take 5-10 minutes and are painless.
