Bursitis Relief with Cold Laser Therapy
Mark came to Belmont Physiotherapy and Health Clinic with acute hip pain diagnosed as bursitis after a sudden increase in walking and standing at work. The area was tender, inflamed, and painful during simple movements like climbing stairs or lying on his side.
His physiotherapist used Cold Laser Therapy early in his treatment plan to help calm inflammation, along with activity modification and gentle exercises. Over the next few visits, Mark noticed reduced pain and swelling, allowing him to move more comfortably and progress safely with rehabilitation.
This is an example of how Cold Laser Therapy can be especially helpful in acute inflammatory conditions, such as bursitis, when tissues are irritated and sensitive.
What Is Cold Laser Therapy?
Searching for Cold Laser Therapy near me? Belmont Physiotherapy and Health Clinic offers advanced, non-invasive laser treatment as part of expert physiotherapy care.
Cold Laser Therapy uses low-intensity light energy applied to injured or painful tissues. Unlike surgical or cosmetic lasers, it does not generate heat or cause tissue damage. Instead, the light penetrates the skin and is absorbed by cells, triggering biological responses that promote healing and reduce pain.
Think of it as giving your cells an energy boost—helping them work more efficiently to repair and recover.
Conditions That May Benefit from Cold Laser Therapy
Cold Laser Therapy is commonly used in physiotherapy to help manage a wide range of musculoskeletal and soft-tissue conditions, including:
- Neck and back pain
- Shoulder pain and rotator cuff injuries
- Tendinitis and tendinopathy (e.g., tennis elbow, Achilles tendinopathy)
- Muscle strains and ligament sprains
- Arthritis and joint pain
- Plantar fasciitis
- Nerve-related pain
- Post-surgical or post-injury recovery
Your physiotherapist will assess whether this treatment is appropriate for your specific condition and will review any precautions or contraindications.
What Does a Treatment Session Feel Like?
Cold Laser Therapy is painless and relaxing. During treatment:
- The laser device is applied directly over the affected area
- You may feel nothing at all or a mild, soothing sensation
- Sessions typically last 5–15 minutes, depending on the area treated
There is no downtime, and you can return to your normal activities immediately afterward.
Is Cold Laser Therapy Right for You?
Cold Laser Therapy is not a stand-alone solution—it works best when combined with a personalized physiotherapy treatment plan that may include exercise therapy, manual therapy, education, and lifestyle advice.
