Clearwater Spine & Rehabilitation

is now offering Cold Laser Therapy!

Cold Laser Therapy is an effective treatment option which helps relieve pain and helps your body heal itself more quickly.  The cold laser is a low level laser which sends light waves (photons) into injured tissues.  The photons penetrate deep into the tissue without being absorbed by the skin, fat or blood and stimulate and energize the cells to repair and strengthen themselves.  The effects of the cold laser include:

• Relieves acute and chronic pain 
• Reduces inflammation
• Increases blood supply 
• Promotes faster wound healing 
• Stimulates the immune system 
• Stimulates nerve function
• Develops collagen and muscle tissue
• Helps generate new cells and tissue

Cold laser has been FDA approved since 2002, but has been used in other countries for over 40 years. It is a very low intensity laser so it does not burn like high powered surgical lasers. Some conditions which are effectively treated with cold laser include the following:

• Neck Pain/Whiplash
• Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
• Headaches
• Arthritis
• Sprains/Strains
• Back Pain
• Fibromyalgia
• Heel Spurs/Plantar Fasciitis
