Cold Laser in North Liberty

Healthcare professionals administer cold laser therapy in North Liberty with a small device, about the size of a flashlight. If you have ever held a lit flashlight to the back of your hand and seen the light shine through—the cold laser therapy device works similarly.

Cold laser therapy directly applies the device to the affected area using low levels of light energy (photons). These photons pass through the injured tissue without causing pain or damage. Your cells then absorb the light energy and convert it into cell energy. Clinically, this treatment has shown proven, positive benefits for inflammation, pain, and healing.

A full treatment program can go up to 30 full sessions. Typically, if you’re experiencing acute pain, you will only need 6 to 10 treatments. With chronic pain, we recommend anywhere from 20 to 30 sessions for maximum pain relief results.
