Laser Therapy

Light that speeds up healing. Low-level laser therapy uses light at specific wavelengths to support your body's own healing and reduce joint pain and inflammation.

What it is

What is Laser Therapy?

Laser therapy applies light at a carefully chosen wavelength and intensity to encourage cellular repair in damaged tissue. Different settings let your chiropractor reach different depths, depending on whether the target is skin, muscle, tendon, ligament, cartilage or bone.

The light is thought to accelerate the body's natural regeneration process at a cellular level, which is why it's used to support healing rather than to replace hands-on treatment.

It's applied directly over the area being treated using a handheld device, generally as part of a broader chiropractic plan rather than as a stand-alone therapy.

The treatment itself is painless — most people describe a mild, pleasant warmth over the treated area, and there's no recovery time needed afterward. Some notice reduced pain and swelling quickly; for others, the benefit builds over a short series of sessions.

This fits well as an add-on to adjustment or soft-tissue work rather than a stand-alone treatment, and your chiropractor will let you know if it suits the specific issue you're dealing with.

Good to know

Is Laser Therapy Safe?

Does laser therapy hurt?
No. It's a painless treatment — you'll typically feel a gentle warmth on the skin and nothing more.
How is this different from a heat pack?
A heat pack only warms the surface. Laser therapy delivers specific wavelengths of light intended to stimulate cellular repair at a deeper level, which is a different mechanism from surface heat.
How many sessions will I need?
It varies by the tissue and how long it's been injured. Your chiropractor will give you an honest estimate after assessing the area.
