Pain relief and healing
Cold Laser Therapy in Surprise, AZ
Cold laser therapy, also known as low‒level laser therapy (LLLT), has been in use throughout the world for over four decades. Called “cold” because it generates no heat, this non‒invasive, painless treatment is an excellent addition to any well‒rounded rehab program – reducing inflammation, improving blood circulation, and relieving pain.
At Array Medical Center, our compassionate, experienced team of professionals utilizes this therapy as a unique alternative for pain relief and healing. With no surgeries or medication required, you can enjoy a return to your daily life without a prolonged recovery time.
What is Cold Laser Therapy?
This is a non-invasive type of therapy that uses a low-intensity light – a 600 to 1,000-nanometer wavelength – that doesn’t generate heat. When applied over injured or inflamed tissue, it helps increase blood flow to the area as well as decreasing pain and inflammation. Overall, it promotes healing.
The cold laser is a small, handheld device that’s about the size of a flashlight. Your experienced clinician at Array Medical Center will place it over the injured area for 30 seconds to several minutes. While the cells in your body absorb this light, you won’t feel any pain or discomfort.
What Does Cold Laser Therapy Treat?
You’ll find that any kind of soft tissue injury that’s causing you pain, inflammation, or discomfort can benefit from cold laser therapy, such as:
- Arthritis
- Tendonitis
- Carpal tunnel syndrome
- Joint pain
- Muscle strains
- Bursitis
- Fibromyalgia
Beyond these conditions, cold laser therapy can also help with skin rejuvenation, such as acne, psoriasis, and dermatitis. It’s often used by dentists and acupuncturists.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How often should you do cold laser therapy?
For best results, most people need 2-3 treatments per week for the first month. After that, we'll adjust based on how your body responds - some people only need occasional sessions while others benefit from regular treatments.
Can you do cold laser therapy at home?
While there are home devices available, they're usually much less powerful than professional equipment. Plus, without proper training, it's hard to know exactly where and how long to treat. We recommend starting with professional care to ensure the best results.
Is cold laser therapy FDA-approved?
Yes – the FDA has cleared cold laser therapy for treating many conditions like muscle and joint pain, arthritis, and carpal tunnel syndrome. It's been proven safe and effective through years of research and clinical use.
Is cold laser therapy the same as red light therapy?
While they're similar, they work a bit differently. Cold laser therapy uses focused, precise beams that reach deeper tissues, while red light therapy covers broader areas but doesn't penetrate as deep. They each have their unique benefits depending on what you're treating.
