Pain stays longer when the body is constantly inflamed. You may benefit from stretches and rest, but if you don’t get the right treatment, it can cause long-term discomfort. Eventually, it can transform into chronic pain.

Cold-laser therapy is a mild and over-the-counter treatment that helps natural healing in your body. It does not put a band-aid on pain like medicines. Rather, it uses special light energy to reduce body inflammation and improve blood circulation.

How Can Light Energy Help Injured Tissue Repair Itself?

Using low-level light energy, cold laser therapy targets the injured area without burning or cutting. It increases cellular activity beneath the skin surface. Hence helping the body to reduce inflammation and cellular damage.

Each session is specifically curated to assist:

• To improve repair of the damaged tissue, so that it can repair quickly
• To make blood circulation more effective, increasing blood oxygen levels decreases pain.
• To decrease body inflammation, so that there’s less sensitivity in joints, and muscles.

At NBPS, Dr. Balta’s goal is to take your body out of that pain-inflammation cycle towards healing.

What Types of Pain Respond Well to Cold Laser Therapy?

Cold-laser therapy is a broad-spectrum treatment process, and Dr. Balta may employ it with other treatment plans for better recovery. Most commonly, it is paired with:

• Neck Stiffness
• Lower Back Pain
• Sciatica
• Joint Pain and Arthritis
• Sports Injuries
• Auto Injuries
• Strain in ligaments and tendons
• Muscle inflammation and pain in soft tissues

When Is Cold Laser Therapy Worth Considering?

If you feel constantly inflamed and your daily life activities are affected by pain, then it's the right time to look for these signs:

• Pain that just doesn’t go away.
• Tenderness or soreness around the injured area
• Poor Recovery
• Muscle stiffness
• Muscle aches and numbness
• Slow recovery after an injury or a strain.

If you feel that your pain is due to inflammation and you always tend to have slow recovery then cold laser therapy is the right choice for you.

Why Does a Personalized Laser Therapy Plan Matter?

Pain is subjective; a sore knee, sciatic pain, neck stiffness, or shoulder inflammation. They all have different pain sources and hence require different treatment plans. That is why care begins at the most basic level: reviewing your symptoms, pain patterns, activity levels, and medical history.
