Cold Laser Therapy - Dr. Louis Granirer Holistic Chiropractor

"Low level laser is a device that can be used on a patient within a comfortable distance from the wound and tissue being treated. It can be administered through clothing, eye protection is not necessary for the patient, and the patient doesn't feel heat. It takes very little time to treat an area."

The first time I saw star wars, I was six years old. I remember my friend going on and on about Darth Vader and C3PO. He was fascinated by these characters. I, on the other hand, was fascinated by the light saber. I thought it was the coolest thing that I had ever cast my young eyes on. The light saber was a laser sword that could cut through almost any substance, and could only be deflected by another light saber. 

It was the first laser of any kind that I can remember, and I fought many mock light saber duels with my fellow star wars jedi wannabes. I thought a laser of any kind was a dangerous and powerful weapon and not until years later, while visiting the dentist, did I realize its healing potential.

Low laser light therapy or cold laser therapy is a treatment modality that I have been investigating and interested in for many years. Many of my colleagues have reported great results with these devices that it sparked my interest. The health benefits of the low level laser include: 

• Reduces inflammation
  
• Relieves both acute and chronic pain
  
• Speeds up tissue repair
  
• Increases the quality and tensile strength of the tissue
  
• Increases blood supply
  
• Promotes faster wound healing and clot formation
  
• Stimulates the immune system
  
• Stimulates nerve function
  
• Develops muscle tissue and collagen
  
• Helps generate new and healthy cells and tissue
  
• Aids in neuroplasticity
  
• Can be used on acupuncture points
  
• Can be used for desensitization to food intolerances
  

These are only some of the possible applications and outcomes. 

Biological light receptors in tissue are called chromophores. Chromophores have been researched to have a maximum therapeutic activation at 630nm to 635 nm wavelength. It is the activation of these chromophores that causes many healing biochemical reactions. For example as soon as a chromophore is activated the oxygen carrying capacity of blood in the region being treated increases by three times, which aids in the healing process. It is the collimation, coherency and polarization of the laser light that allows the light to penetrate the skin and activate the chromophore.
