Cold Laser Therapy
Cold Laser Therapy is a low-level intensity photonic energy used as a treatment modality. It is non-invasive and has been clinically proven to reduce pain by infusing the body's cells with energy, which results in reduced inflammation, cell regeneration, and increased blood flow. A vast array of syndromes respond favorably to this therapy including: concussions, shingles, tendonitis, as well as typical chiropractic conditions.
