Relieve Acute and Chronic Pain Gently and Effectively with Low-Level Laser Therapy in Brunswick, OH
Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) is a Leading Alternative Treatment for Acute and Chronic Pain, Healing and Inflammation
From the medical marijuana debate to the growing opioid problem and millions of dollars spent each year on back and neck treatments, pain defines modern medicine. Chronic pain places an enormous burden on our society and countless treatments have been proposed for it. The best among these is cold laser therapy. Cold laser therapy, or LLLT, uses red to infrared wavelengths of light that aids in pain management and healing, concussion treatment and other forms of care.
LLLT for Healing and Inflammation
The effects of Low-Level Laser Therapy are photochemical (like photosynthesis in plants). When the correct intensity and treatment times are used, red and near infrared light reduces oxidative stress in your body’s cells within the applied treatment area. This improves cell metabolism resulting in tissue repair and healing, and reduced inflammation.
LLLT for Pain Management
Low-Level Laser Therapy can be used to block cells from transmitting pain signals using a strong continuous beam. This mechanism produces an analgesic (pain blocking) effect when applied to specific locations on the body.
The Uses of Low-Level Laser Therapy
Low-Level Laser Light Therapy (LLLT) can be used to reduce inflammation and swelling, stimulate tissue healing and repair, and can relieve pain from many arthritic, muscular, skeletal and neurological conditions. It is also highly effective at treating wounds, skin lesions and bruises.

The Benefits of Cold Laser Therapy
Cold laser therapy, also known as Low-Level Laser Therapy or LLLT, uses near-infrared and red light to stimulate cell growth, block pain signals, and control inflammation. This can provide much-needed relief for those suffering from injuries and other sources of chronic, severe pain. While the specific efficacy of these treatments is still being studied, recent research suggests cold laser therapy has high potential benefits with few risks. Such benefits may include not only pain reduction, but also the ability to lower levels of swelling, increase circulation, and help the immune system function more effectively.
The Importance of Addressing Chronic Pain
Cold laser therapy from Laser Therapy Cleveland™ provides a potential solution for one of the most serious medical problems in modern America. Chronic pain threatens people’s health and their quality of life both directly and indirectly, through:
- Lost Sleep - Chronic pain often keeps its victims awake long into the night. Not only does this lower their quality of life, but it makes it harder for them to focus- possibly putting their lives at risk if they have to drive or operate heavy machinery.
- Reduced Productivity - Pain represents a serious distraction, and the more severe it is, the harder it is to overlook. As a result, those suffering from chronic pain often struggle to do their jobs correctly. This can negatively impact their career ambitions and their families' finances.
- Questionable Cures - The opioid crisis, which kills thousands of people a year in the United States alone, is in large part a result of the prevalence of chronic pain. If we are to get this crisis under control, we must find pain treatments that are not addictive and do not carry such high risks.
By making cold laser therapy available, Laser Therapy Cleveland™ gives patients a new, safer option to address these and other problems.
