Cold Laser is a colloquial term for photobiomodulation or Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT.)
It is a light therapy using lasers or LEDs to improve tissue repair, reduce pain and inflammation wherever the beam is applied. Usually applied by a doctor, therapist or technician, treatments take about 10 minutes and should be applied two or more times per week at first.
Cold Laser has been used for many years on tendonitis, sports injuries, arthritic joints, nerve pain, back and neck pain and joint pain. Over 400 randomised clinical trials have been published on Cold Laser, half of which are on pain.
Geraldton Health Centre uses 'gold standard' THOR lasers, whose customers include British and US military, Premier Division soccer teams, Olympic teams, Formula 1, rugby and cricket team therapists as well as specialist pain clinics in the UK and USA.
