How Cold Laser Therapy (LLLT) Treats More Than Pain: Benefits for Vertigo, TMJ, and Other Conditions

When most people think of cold laser therapy, also known as low level laser therapy (LLLT), they associate it with pain relief. While it is highly effective for reducing inflammation and promoting healing in musculoskeletal injuries, the benefits of cold laser therapy extend well beyond pain management. At Chiropractic Worx, Dr. Jon Sherman uses this advanced technology to support healing and recovery for a variety of conditions, including vertigo, TMJ dysfunction, and more.

What Is Cold Laser Therapy?

Cold laser therapy uses low intensity light to stimulate cellular function and tissue repair. The light penetrates deep into the tissues to stimulate cell regeneration, reduce inflammation, and enhance circulation. This noninvasive treatment is safe, painless, and often produces results in just a few sessions.

Vertigo and Balance Disorders

Vertigo, often caused by issues in the inner ear or cervical spine, can be debilitating and difficult to treat with conventional methods. Cold laser therapy targets the root of the issue by stimulating healing in the inner ear structures and reducing inflammation in the upper neck. By improving communication between the brain and body, this therapy can help reduce the frequency and intensity of vertigo episodes and support better balance overall.

TMJ Dysfunction

Temporomandibular joint dysfunction, or TMJ, is a common condition that causes pain and restricted movement in the jaw. Traditional treatments include mouthguards, medications, or even surgery. Cold laser therapy offers a noninvasive alternative by reducing inflammation in the joint and surrounding muscles. It also helps relax tight tissues and improve joint mobility, making it easier to speak, chew, and move the jaw without discomfort.

Nerve-Related Conditions

LLLT is also showing promise in treating nerve-related conditions like peripheral neuropathy, sciatica, and carpal tunnel syndrome. By stimulating blood flow and cellular repair in the affected areas, cold laser therapy can reduce nerve irritation, improve function, and promote long-term relief without the side effects of medications.

Soft Tissue Healing and Immune Support

In addition to its therapeutic benefits for chronic conditions, cold laser therapy supports faster healing from sprains, strains, and other soft tissue injuries. It also enhances cellular energy production, which can boost the immune response and aid in overall recovery. Many patients report feeling more energetic and resilient after consistent treatments.
