Laser Therapy
in Thorold, St Catharines
Our clinic is committed to providing an array of solutions to help patients get out of pain and heal. One such solution is cold laser therapy, also known as low-level laser therapy (LLLT).
What Conditions Can It Help?
Cold laser therapy has a wide range of applications, making it a versatile treatment for various health conditions. Some of the most common issues it can help with include:
- Chronic pain conditions, including fibromyalgia
- Post-surgical wound healing and tissue repair
- Nerve regeneration and neuropathic pain
We frequently combine LLLT with other treatments to maximize recovery and improve outcomes.
Understanding the Power of Light
When many patients hear about laser therapy, they often imagine a powerful beam that could cut through steel. However, the cold laser used in our practice operates at a much lower intensity. Its effectiveness comes from the specific frequency of the light emitted, not its strength.
Unlike the full spectrum of sunlight, LLLT uses a narrow frequency of light—primarily in the red and near-infrared ranges—which has been shown to aid in healing soft tissues. Interestingly, cells in the human body are sensitive to these light frequencies, which helps promote regeneration.
How Does Cold Laser Therapy Work?
The exact science behind how certain light frequencies speed up or slow down biological processes is still being explored. However, based on our practical experience and patient outcomes, we know that cold laser therapy is effective in:
- Accelerating wound healing
- Reducing inflammation
- Managing pain
- Stimulating cell regeneration
- Minimizing scar tissue
While scientists continue to research the underlying mechanisms, our patients are more focused on the results—and they’ve been pleased with the positive impact on their recovery.
