What is Cold Laser Therapy?
Cold Laser Therapy, also known as Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT), uses low intensity light to deliver energy to targeted areas of the body. The light interacts with cells and helps support the body’s natural healing processes.
Cold Laser Therapy is a non-invasive treatment that is commonly used to help manage pain and inflammation, improve circulation, relax muscles, and support recovery from soft-tissue injuries. It may also be used as part of treatment for conditions such as arthritis and to help reduce the appearance of scar tissue.
The goal of treatment is to stimulate cellular activity and support healthy tissue repair and regeneration.
What to expect on your first visit
During your first visit you will be asked to complete some paperwork that provides basic information about yourself and your reason for contacting us. A consultation with the chiropractor will give you the chance to discuss your concerns and get to know one another. The chiropractor will complete a thorough health history and examination of your spine and nervous system. The doctor will check your posture, range of motion, reflexes, and perform other chiropractic, physical, and orthopedic tests. If it is determined that yours is not a chiropractic problem, the proper referral will be made. If the doctor feels that chiropractic will help your condition, a diagnosis will be rendered and a care plan of specific chiropractic adjustments will be recommended.

Safety
The safety and effectiveness of chiropractic treatment have been studied in-depth and very carefully.
