Cold Laser Therapy for Healing: How It Helps Arthritis, Tendonitis & Nerve Pain in Burnaby

Cold laser therapy (also called low-level laser therapy) is a non-invasive treatment that reduces pain, inflammation, and tissue irritation while accelerating healing. At Metrotown Active Health, our Burnaby physiotherapists use cold laser therapy as part of comprehensive rehab programs for both acute and chronic conditions.

What Is Cold Laser Therapy?
