Questions & Answers
What is Cold Laser Therapy?

It is a non-invasive treatment that may be used as part of an approach to managing pain, inflammation, and recovery.
Is Cold Laser Therapy painful?
Cold Laser Therapy is generally gentle and comfortable. The treatment does not involve needles, incisions, or injections, and most patients do not experience significant discomfort during the procedure.
How long does a treatment take?
Treatment times can vary depending on the condition and the area being treated. Many sessions can be completed in just a few minutes, although your individual treatment plan may require more or less time.
