Cold laser therapy comes up most often for soft-tissue and joint problems that are slow to settle. Grover Beach patients have it applied to lingering muscle and tendon strains and to joints or other areas that stay inflamed and painful after an injury. It is used as a supportive layer on top of the primary treatment for these issues.
The common thread is localized pain or inflammation that could use an extra push toward healing. Dr. Bronstein matches cold laser therapy to the Grover Beach patients whose problems fit that description, since it is not the right tool for every complaint. Beacon Clinic applies it selectively, which is how a supportive therapy should be used.
