Cold Laser Therapy in Cotswold
When discomfort lingers despite rest and ice, your body may need support at the cellular level to heal. At Cotswold Chiropractic Center, cold laser therapy offers a gentle, noninvasive way to calm inflammation, ease tension, and help tissues recover without medication or downtime. Whether you’re dealing with a stubborn injury, chronic joint pain, or want to speed healing after strain, this technology works beneath the surface so you can move more freely.
How Cold Laser Therapy Works
Also called low-level laser therapy, this treatment uses calibrated light to penetrate up to about an inch into your tissues. Unlike surgical lasers that generate heat, cold laser sessions are cool and comfortable—many people don’t feel anything. The light targets areas that need support, helping reduce inflammation and encouraging better circulation and oxygen use. By improving cellular energy and hydration, your body is better able to repair and rebuild stressed or injured tissue.
Who Benefits From Cold Laser Therapy
After decades using therapies such as electrical stimulation and ultrasound, Dr. Dempsey has found low-level laser therapy to be a valuable addition to care for many patients. He uses it for back and neck injuries, TMJ issues, plantar fasciitis, sports strains, and many joint conditions involving inflammation. It’s also a great option for people who are uneasy about electrical stimulation or who prefer a gentler approach. Because it doesn’t hurt, it can be safely used with children. Dr. Dempsey also uses cold laser to stimulate the vagus nerve, which supports gut-brain communication and overall nervous system balance.
What to Expect During Care
Healing takes time, and consistency matters. While a single session may provide short-term relief, lasting change requires a series of visits. Many patients receive cold laser therapy a couple of times per week for four to six weeks, with frequency adjusted based on how their body responds. For recent injuries or acute flare-ups, sessions may be recommended up to three times per week to help speed recovery.
