Cold Laser Therapy to Relieve Pain


Cold Laser Therapy to Relieve Pain
Cold laser therapy is called “cold” because it uses levels of light that don’t heat body tissues like the hot lasers used for surgery. Cold laser therapy is also known as low-level laser therapy (LLLT).
Cold laser reduces inflammation so
+ treats arthritis pain
+ treats tennis elbow, knee pain, neck pain, low back pain
+ stimulates nerve function
+ accelerates healing
I also use it for cosmetic purposes to help prevent and reduce lines and wrinkles.
The cold laser uses infrared light, which one cannot see or feel, to reduce inflammation, swelling and pain. The anti-inflammatory effects of the infrared light work at the cellular level. Unlike modalities such as cortisone injections and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory pills, laser does not suppress inflammation but rather stimulates the body’s cells to reduce inflammation, swelling, and pain.
Typical treatments are two times a week for six to 10 sessions. We recommend waiting at least 24 hours between treatments as we have found that patients experience soreness if they receive laser therapy too frequently in one area.

After getting a full work up from a neurolologist and being prescribed medications we were uncomfortable giving our child we were referred to Martha. What a life saver. Peyton is now feeling much relief and is able to go about her days. We couldn't be happier with the treatments and Martha's willingness to explain everything.
My sinuses were a mess..But after the needles and Dr. Lucas did their work, I'm much, much better!
I have seen Martha through and after two pregnancies. She helps to keep me feeling well and healthy. I highly recommend, she is great in every way!
I am trying to resolve a nerve issue in my left leg from back surgery, and I can see a difference after a couple of sessions with Dr. Lucas. I will continue to go because I can tell that the treatments have definitely helped. Thank you Dr. Lucas!
I haven't felt this good for a long time. Many chronic problems of pain due to arthritis and back pain are manageable now. Started seeing Dr. Lucas in late Sept 2015.
Martha is a weekly experience for me....which never fails to reduce stress and improve health. Martha is unique in that she has addressed medical issues for me not just pain and well-being. A significant medical issue went into remission less than 6 months after starting with Martha. Another medical issue stopped the day after I started with Martha many years ago. She is the best!!!!
First time with Acupuncture, and it was great. Dr Lucas explained every part of the process. I was relaxed and felt well taken care of. I am looking forward to my next session.
Martha has been treating my children and I since they have been really small infants. She can calm my Special needs sons central nervous system and help him to control his emotions. She has boosted all our dietary and metabolic systems keeping us fit health and active. Great post surgical realignment and boost. Whether acute issues such as cold and flu or maintenance acupuncture places a central role in our ongoing health care and medical treatment needs.
Both Really work it is keeping me off the operating table and I am so thankful for it. I Missed a few weeks for my wedding and it hurt me I pretty much had to start over but I am back to feeling great . I Recommend this to anyone having pain or stress.
