The use of light therapy in the reduction of chronic pain in parts of the body is referred to as cold therapy or soft laser therapy. This treatment is a solution for those suffering from health conditions ranging from migraine headaches, joint pains, back pains, tendonitis, fibromyalgia, neuropathy, neck pains among others. All these ailments bring about painful symptoms.
Soft laser therapy is done through increasing the intake of serotonin which helps in the treatment of the affected body part. The term 'soft laser' came from the word photo-therapy. It is a way of healing by use of a special light. The light penetrates the skin and tissues next to the skin to speed up natural body healing. This special light is usually compressed light and it has a wavelength similar to that of light found in the red section of the light spectrum. Phototherapy was developed 30 years ago.
During therapy, body cells are fully exposed to photon energy where it raises metabolism rate in the cells. This in turn develops collagen and muscles tissue, improves the blood circulation, stimulates wound healing, tissue repair and also the nervous and immune systems.
