Cold Laser Therapy
The staff at Catalina Medical Center offers a variety of treatments for chiropractic issues. We recommend cold laser therapy for patients experiencing acute or chronic muscle pain in the neck, back, or shoulders. If you have acute or chronic muscle pain and chiropractic adjustments haven’t helped you, cold laser therapy could be the solution for you. Cold laser therapy is a non-invasive, drug-free solution with no adverse side effects. This therapy can be practiced almost anywhere on the body to promote healing and alleviate pain. Patients suffering from sprains, arthritis, and tendonitis are often recommended this treatment because it also helps reduce inflammation. The laser is a small handheld device placed directly on the skin in the affected area. It uses light to stimulate affected muscle tissue, and has the ability to penetrate two to five centimeters below the skin. The laser is applied to the affected area for anywhere from 30 seconds to several minutes at a time. Treatments
