Cold Laser therapy

 Laser light healing brings targeted energy into injured or inflamed tissues. called photobiomodulation . This stimulates the biological process directly in the tissue to  enchances ATP production, reduces inflammation, oxidative stress, alleviates pain, and promotes tissue repair/healing.   

We use a AVANT Laser. Class 3B Laser

- 1400mW @ 808nm Infrared

-1400mW @ 637nm Red

These particular wavelengths stimulates cellular activity, while Laser Light penetrates deep beneath the surface. 

 Optimal healing dose- 120-162 joules/tissue area 

 Conditions We Treat with Cold Laser Therapy
Dr. Dave integrates cold laser into customized care plans for many acute and chronic issues, including: 

• Back or Neck Pain (disc injuries, facet irritation, muscle strain)   
• Arthritis (knees, hips, hands, spine)    
• Sciatica and nerve irritation    
• Shoulder Pain, frozen shoulder, bursitis
• Sprains and strains (ankle, wrist, elbow)    
• Tendinitis  (Achilles, knee,  tennis/golfer’s elbow)   
•  Plantar fasciitis & heel pain & shin splints    
• Carpal tunnel syndrome    
• TMJ / jaw pain     
• Sports injuries—from weekend warrior strains to serious athlete rehab   
•  Painful trigger points & myofascial pain syndrome    
•  Skin & soft tissue wounds (ulcers, lacerations, abrasions) 

Additional laser topics benefits(science)

•  Increased oxygenated blood to injured tissue, vasodilation
•  Increased Collagen Production and Collagen quality: reducing internal scar formation and enhancing tissue elasticity
• Increased Muscle regeneration
• Nerve Regeneration: promotes neuronal sprouting and myelin formation
• Cartilage Production: increase in chondrocyte production deposits in joint
• Healing occurs even faster, speeding up your body’s own repair process 
• Chemicals causing pain and inflammation break down faster.  

Treatment Timeline & Expectations
 

Pain Relief Phase (Sessions 1-3)

•  reduced inflammation; pain and swelling often drop, easier motion, lower pain. 

Repair Phase (Sessions 4-8)

• Damaged tissue fibers rebuild; scar tissue heals, steady progress; occasional soreness as you move more. 

Strengthen phase (Sessions 9-12)

• Muscles and ligaments regain full power; risk of flare ups falls.. Confidence, freer movement, return to favorite activities. 

 Your plan may be shorter or longer depending on age, condition severity, lifestyle, and goals.
