Low Level Cold Laser Therapy in Council Bluffs
Another state of the art treatment at Total Care Chiropractic is the use of cold laser therapy. This type of therapy is non-invasive and has no known side-effects. While research is ongoing, here’s what we do know about how the body works:
All our bodily functions start at the cellular level. In order to do their job, each cell has to have a certain amount of energy, called ATP (adenosine triphosphate), which is produced by an organism in the cell called mitochondria. When the cell has too little ATP, it cannot properly function, which makes the body unable to function properly.
Amazing Results
Cold laser therapy sends specific frequencies of light energy at specific wavelengths into the cell. Theoretically, the laser energy is stimulating the mitochondria inside the cell to produce more ATP which, in turn, allows the cells to function properly. When the cells are able to function properly, the body can respond by continuing its natural healing process.
In our clinic, we have seen amazing results with cold laser when treating arthritis, sprain/strain injuries, tendinitis and carpal tunnel syndrome.
