Offering Hope and Help

Maybe you’ve had chronic pain that lasts for weeks or years and have tried many avenues to get relief. While chiropractic care provides excellent pain relief, we are happy to now be offering another effective tool as part of our services: cold laser therapy with the Erchonia® XLR8.

This pain-free, non-invasive, Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) is FDA market-cleared to treat pain and inflammation without side effects, pills or surgery.

More than 4,000 studies have shown the positive effects of laser therapy, which has earned FDA approval to treat a range of conditions.

LLLT activates the body at the cellular level within the powerhouse of the cell, allowing your body to stimulate pathways similarly to drugs but without potentially dangerous complications or side effects.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does it work?

As soon as the light of a specific wavelength penetrates the skin and reaches damaged tissues that are targeted, it’s absorbed by light-sensitive elements of the cell in a process that’s similar to photosynthesis in plants. When the absorbed light is converted to usable energy that leads to reduced inflammation, pain relief, enhanced immune response and a faster healing time.

What will my treatment be like?

It depends on what you’re coming in for. Each session is typically between 5 – 10 minutes. We recommend coming in two or more times a week. Your frequency and duration of treatment depend on the severity of your symptoms and other variables.

Is LLLT painful?

No, this treatment is non-invasive and patients typically don’t feel any sensation while receiving LLLT.

Are there any contraindications?

If you are pregnant or have cancer you cannot receive the treatment.
