Cold Laser Therapy at Heathcote Chiropractic Clinic

cold laser therapy on arm Cold Laser Therapy, which is also called Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT), is a modality that uses specific wavelengths of light to interact with tissue and is thought to help speed up the healing process.

Heathcote Chiropractic Clinic is one of a handful of clinics in the UK to utilise the MR2 Cold laser from Multi-Radiance Medical. This specific technology was designed for non-invasive applications.The Multi Radiance Cascade Energy Effect™ uses a sophisticated software algorithm to synergize multiple wavelengths that allow the body to have the optimal absorption of photons. LaserSweep™ changes the number of Laser pulses emitted per second to scan target tissue from superficial to deep, preventing bodily adaptation and resilience to its therapeutic effects.

Cold laser therapy can be used on patients who suffer from various acute and chronic conditions to help reduce pain and inflammation and increase function. Cold laser therapy also may help patients avoid surgery. And compared to surgery, the therapy is much more cost-effective.

How Cold Lasers Work

A small handheld device is used during each session. Various wavelengths and outputs of low-level light are applied directly to a targeted area such as the knee or low back.

The body tissue then absorbs the light and the red and near-infrared light produce a reaction. The damaged cells respond with a physiological reaction that promotes regeneration.
