Laser therapy available In vaughan

Yes, cold laser therapy is considered a safe and painless procedure. It uses low levels of laser light that do not generate heat, reducing the risk of burns or tissue damage. However, it’s important to consult with a healthcare provider to ensure it’s appropriate for your specific condition. 

During a cold laser therapy session, a handheld device will be applied directly to the skin over the affected area. The treatment is painless and typically lasts between 5 to 10 minutes, depending on the size and location of the area being treated. Most patients feel no discomfort during or after the procedure. 

Cold laser therapy works by applying low-level light energy to the affected area, which is absorbed by the cells. This process stimulates cellular activity, increases circulation, and promotes tissue repair, which can help reduce pain and inflammation while speeding up the healing process. 

Yes, cold laser therapy can often be used in conjunction with other treatments such as spinal decompression, chiropractic care, or massage therapy. It’s a complementary therapy that can enhance the effects of other treatments aimed at pain relief and tissue healing. 

Many patients begin to feel relief after just a few sessions, although the full benefits of cold laser therapy may take several treatments. The rate of improvement depends on the condition being treated and the individual's response to therapy. Dr. Birk will monitor your progress and adjust the treatment plan as needed.
