Cold Laser Therapy
At Inlet Integrated Health Centre, we are committed to providing innovative, effective treatments that promote natural healing and improve overall wellness. One such advanced treatment option we offer is Cold Laser Therapy (also known as Low-Level Laser Therapy, or LLLT). This non-invasive and pain-free therapy is designed to promote healing, reduce pain, and support long-term recovery for a variety of conditions.
What is Cold Laser Therapy?
Cold Laser Therapy uses low-intensity lasers to stimulate cellular healing without causing any heat damage to the body’s tissues. Unlike traditional lasers that rely on heat, Cold Laser Therapy works by emitting specific wavelengths of light that penetrate the skin and reach the deeper layers of tissue. This therapeutic light energizes the cells and accelerates the healing process, making it an excellent option for treating both acute and chronic conditions.
How Does Cold Laser Therapy Work?
Cold Laser Therapy works at a cellular level by targeting specific areas of pain and injury. When the light energy from the laser reaches damaged tissues, it is absorbed by the cells and promotes an increase in adenosine triphosphate (ATP) production. ATP is the energy currency for cells, and by enhancing ATP production, cells are able to heal faster, reduce inflammation, and increase circulation to the affected area.
​
The therapy helps to:
-
Accelerate tissue repair
-
Reduce inflammation and swelling
-
Relieve pain and discomfort
-
Enhance blood flow to support recovery

What to Expect During Treatment
Cold Laser Therapy sessions are typically quick and comfortable, lasting around 10-20 minutes depending on the condition being treated. During the session, the laser device is gently applied to the affected area. There is no sensation of heat or discomfort, and you may feel a mild tingling or soothing sensation as the therapy works.
​
Most patients experience noticeable improvements after just a few sessions, with more significant results after completing the recommended treatment plan.
