Low-Level Laser Therapy for IC

Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) is a treatment using specific wavelengths of light to help facilitate the healing process. It can be used on patients who suffer from a variety of acute and chronic conditions to help eliminate pain and swelling. It can also reduce muscle spasms and increase the functionality of the body system it is applied to.

LLLT application to the bladder and soft tissues of the pelvis for the treatment of pelvic pain and overactive bladder disease remains in IRB approved clinical trials in the Netherlands. Preliminary results are encouraging, but this therapy has not yet been approved for marketing by the FDA.

None (yet!) Your best bet for this is to find a practitioner who uses LLLT. See the links further down the page for some places to start looking.

Cold Laser Treatments for IC

Cold laser is another version of laser therapy that applies low-intensity laser light to the tissue. It also may help with pain, inflammation, and wound healing. The good news for Cold Laser Therapy of IC is that some devices have been approved by the FDA specifically for temporary relief of minor muscle aches, stiffness, the relaxation of muscle spasm, and increased local blood flow. Because of these benefits, some IC patients have successfully used cold lasers to help control their IC-related pain.
