Laser Therapy can quickly and dramatically reduce acute and chronic pain by:
- reducing inflammation
- reducing free radical production and oxidative stress
- improving blood flow
- enhancing tissue repair
- improving cellular energy production (increasing production of cellular ATP).
Laser Therapy has been FDA Cleared for use with Neck and Heel/Foot Pain. It has also shown great benefits clinically with:
- Spinal pain
- Headaches/Migraines
- Acute and chronic concussion symptoms
- Shoulder pain
- Knee pain
- Foot pain
- Traumatic brain injuries
- Post-stroke rehab
- “zingers”
- Herniated Discs and Sciatica
- Shingles/Herpes Zoster
- Atypical Facial Pain
- Trigeminal Neuralgia
- as well as burns, weight loss and many others

Low-level laser therapy or cold laser therapy is a painless, sterile, non-invasive, drug-free modality.
During a laser treatment, laser light particles called photons will pass through skin layers. The photons are absorbed by the powerhouse of the body’s individual cells called the mitochondria. Receptors within the mitochondria are capable of absorbing distinct parameters of light. The stimulation of these receptors with light promotes energy production, biochemical reactions, protein and growth factor synthesis, cell growth and proliferation and enhanced blood and oxygen flow which lead to faster healing of injured or damaged body tissue and elimination of pain.
Low-level laser treatment doesn’t involve the use of the high-powered lasers that most people are familiar with. Instead, low-level lasers, LEDs and broadband lights are used to emit red and near infra-red light with wavelengths of 632 nm to 1064 nm at 1 to 1000 mW. These low-power light sources do not generate heat, so they do not burn the skin during the therapeutic process
