Cold laser therapy, also known as low-level laser therapy (LLLT), is a non-invasive treatment that uses low-intensity laser light to reduce pain, inflammation, and promote healing in various musculoskeletal conditions. For foot disorders, cold laser therapy can be particularly beneficial due to its ability to stimulate cellular function and enhance tissue repair without causing thermal damage.
It involves applying low levels of laser light to the affected area. Unlike high-intensity lasers used for cutting or ablating tissue, cold lasers emit light at wavelengths that penetrate the skin without generating heat. The light energy is absorbed by the cells, triggering a series of biological processes that promote healing.
