Cold Laser Therapy In Burien WA

Cold Laser Treatment in Burien WA is an innovative, scientifically based, therapeutic modality. We use the bioflex machine, which offers advanced pain relief and expedited healing times! When tissues are damaged, cells begin to die and scar tissue formation often begins. Both of these consequences can slow or even limit the healing process. Modern-day cold laser units have been specifically engineered to produce the essential wavelengths of light necessary to stimulate the damaged cells, break up the formed scar tissue, and stimulate the healing process.

What Is Cold Laser Therapy in Burien WA?

Cold laser units come in various sizes and shapes. Often the units used are handheld and similar to the size of an average flashlight. The treatment time required is usually dependent on two factors, the condition being treated and the size of the area affected. A major advantage of cold laser therapy units is the ability to penetrate deep into tissues and joints while retaining the capability to also treat conditions closer to the skin surface. People utilizing cold laser therapy as a non-invasive form of treatment report feeling little or no sensation during the treatment process. Regardless of how deep the light waves penetrate, the energy is eventually absorbed by the damaged cell providing it with the boost to begin working. Plants using the sun's light to stimulate growth and healing is a good analogy to demonstrate the effects of cold laser therapy. As these cells are repaired, the body is able to decrease the sensation of pain, reduce swelling, and accelerate the time required to heal.

Is it painful?

During the treatment the patient will feel deep soothing warmth. This pleasant sensation reassures the patient that the laser is stimulating cellular activity. People with pacemakers and other types of implants or prosthesis can still safely receive cold laser treatments.

What can I use cold laser therapy for?

Due to the wide range of healing potential, our Seahurst Integrative Medical and Wellness Center team has been trained to utilize this technology for the treatment of many conditions. Some of the conditions that are commonly treated at our clinic include:

• Plantar fasciitis, Neck Pain

Alternative modalities may relieve pain but do nothing to promote deep healing of damaged tissue. Electrical stimulation is often uncomfortable. It lacks the consistent pain reduction of laser therapy. Ultrasound is not as effective at blocking pain, and studies show that it weakens tissue. Neither of these methods provides the same stimulation of tissue healing as laser therapy.

With treatment times of 6-45 minutes, the Cold Laser allows many conditions to vastly improve within a few visits.
