Cold Laser Technology for Pain Relief

Low-level laser (LLLT) applies low-level lasers energy to the surface of the body. LLLT technology is used by therapists and individuals for the temporarily relief of pain. LLLT devices are used in professional sports leagues, including the NBA and the NHL, as they can provide fast-acting relief to athletes, helping them get back in the game without an extended recovery time. Cold laser therapy offers a safe, non-invasive, and effective option for pain relief that can be conveniently used at home. By reducing inflammation, promoting tissue repair, improving nerve function, and relaxing muscles, cold laser therapy can alleviate pain in various conditions, including back pain, tendonitis, neuropathic pain, and sports injuries. With scientific evidence supporting its benefits and minimal side effects, cold laser therapy is a valuable addition to pain management strategies. 

When the low-level laser light is applied to the skin, the photons penetrate the tissue and are absorbed by cellular components, primarily the mitochondria. Mitochondria are the powerhouses of the cell, responsible for producing energy in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). The absorption of light by the mitochondria stimulates an increase in ATP production. ATP is the primary energy currency of the cell, and its increased availability enhances the cell’s ability to repair and regenerate damaged tissues. LLLT also affects the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). At appropriate doses, LLLT can reduce excessive ROS levels, which can otherwise cause oxidative stress and damage to cells. By modulating ROS levels, LLLT helps maintain cellular homeostasis and promotes a healthy environment for tissue repair. The increase in ATP and modulation of ROS levels lead to the activation of various transcription factors, such as nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells (NF-κB) and hypoxia-inducible factor 1-alpha (HIF-1α). These transcription factors play a crucial role in regulating gene expression related to inflammation, cell proliferation, and tissue repair.The activation of transcription factors enhances the production of proteins necessary for cellular repair and regeneration. This includes the synthesis of growth factors, cytokines, and other signaling molecules that promote the healing of damaged tissues and reduce inflammation.

Photobiomodulation (PBM) has found a new home in the LaserTRX device that is affordable and efficient to help with pain conditions when discomfort arises. Also known as low-level laser (LLLT) therapy for pain it provides drug free pain relief and can help aid in recovery.

The combination of light therapy and the various power levels of the LaserTRX device can deliver temporary relief and temporary reduce minor pains, soreness, stiffness and increase circulation at the targeted area. Due to LLLT being a non-invasive method, it is painless and requires no recovery time.
