Cold laser is a type of laser therapy that helps many tendon, muscle and ligament injuries by shortening recovery time using low levels of light. It is called “cold laser” because low light levels are not enough to generate heat in the body tissue. Laser can be specifically targeted to precise injury locations. It has positive effects on reducing scar tissue, decreasing inflammation and increasing cell regeneration. All are important for healing both acute and chronic type conditions. Laser is particularly effective in treating persistent ligament, muscle and tendon problems.
