WHAT IS COLD LASER THERAPY?
Cold laser therapy is a clinical form of healing that has been practiced across the world for decades. Low power lasers were first medically used in 1967 and it didn’t take long for their practical benefits to become known.
The purpose of cold laser therapy is to promote and stimulate healing within the body using low levels of light emitted by a laser. The low power lasers used in cold laser therapy are non-invasive and non-harmful. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved cold laser therapy to treat numerous conditions.
At Westerville Chiropractic and Nutrition, we are dedicated to using the latest tools to help you reach your health and fitness goals. Over the years, we’ve used cold laser therapy to treat nerve conditions, sprains, and various other sources of pain for patients from all across central Ohio.

DOES COLD
LASER THERAPY HURT?
Cold laser therapy may sound intimidating to those unfamiliar with the procedure, but it’s actually a painless treatment that can provide you with remarkable results.
What Are Cold Lasers?
Cold laser therapy isn’t really cold. The “cold” in cold laser therapy refers to the low intensity lasers used in the procedure. While surgical and aesthetic lasers produce heat, low intensity lasers don’t produce any temperature change. This means that the cold laser won’t affect your skin, providing a safe, comfortable treatment experience.
The low intensity of cold lasers also means that these lasers are non-invasive — they aren’t powerful enough to damage skin. Cold laser therapy can work wonders on injuries that are close to the surface but isn’t as affective for treating deep tissue injuries.

HOW DOES
COLD LASER THERAPY WORK?
Cold laser therapy uses different wavelengths of low-level light to promote healing in a specific part of the body.
During your cold laser treatment, one of the specialists at Westerville Chiropractic and Nutrition will use a handheld device — about the size of a flashlight — to apply red light onto a target area. You will feel the laser emitting device touching your skin, but this is painless.
The low intensity light passes through your layers of skin and then reacts with the light-sensitive elements of your cells. This process can kickstart cell metabolism as well as promote a replacement of the damaged cells with healthy, properly functioning cells, thus beginning the healing process.
