Medical Laser: Is It Right for Me?

At Southeast Family Chiropractic: we're excited to offer patients the Summus Horizon Medical Laser in our Gastonia, NC offices. This cold laser system is proven to help the body naturally repair and grow tissue. Here, we'll explore the specifics of cold laser therapy and how you can decide whether cold laser therapy is the right fit for you.

What Is Cold Laser Therapy?

Cold laser therapy uses near-infrared and red wavelengths, creating a supportive environment for soft tissue repair. These wavelengths stimulate blood flow, which can bring nutrients and water to an area of the body in need of recovery. Cold laser therapy is safe, comfortable, and fast — each treatment lasts between six and 30 minutes.

The Summus Horizon Laser: Is It Right For You?

If you're looking for a non-invasive treatment that can prevent the formation of scar tissue and decrease inflammation, cold laser treatment may be a good fit for you. Cold laser therapy can help with several conditions, including neck pain, disc injuries, arm pain, lower back pain, headaches, shoulder pain, hip pain, and more.

For most people, cold laser therapy is a safe and effective treatment for both chronic and acute pain. A few exceptions: if you are pregnant, cold laser therapy is not a great fit, as its effects have not been studied on unborn children. It's also important that cold laser therapy isn't used over the thyroid or on any lesions that may be cancerous.
