Cold laser is used by physical therapist, trainers and chiropractors to treat pain in muscles, tendons, ligaments and joints. When a chiropractor uses cold laser it is done very differently than the PT or trainer. Since chiropractors are experts in neurology the cold laser will be applied in relation to the nerves that supply that muscle, tendon and or joint. There are spinal levels that directly relate to say the deltoid [shoulder muscle] within the neck so placing the laser at the deltoid and the specific bones of the neck will stimulate that neurological connection to speed healing.
The next phase is adjusting the neck and back where those nerves are compromised as well as up-regulating the muscles that support them using the laser. What this means is having the patient doing specific exercises to the involved muscle while the laser is being applied to that muscle.
