What is Cold Laser Therapy?

Cold laser therapy—also known as low‒level laser therapy—is a non‒invasive treatment that uses targeted wavelengths of light to stimulate healing at the cellular level. Unlike surgical lasers that cut or heat tissue, cold lasers deliver low‒intensity light that penetrates the skin without damage, helping activate the body’s natural repair process.
This form of laser therapy enhances circulation, reduces inflammation, and supports tissue healing in muscles, tendons, and joints. It’s commonly used to relieve pain, improve mobility, and accelerate recovery from injuries—making it a safe, drug‒free option for patients looking to heal without downtime.

Conditions Cold Laser Therapy Care Can Help Treat

Cold laser therapy is a safe, effective treatment for a variety of musculoskeletal conditions. By enhancing blood flow, reducing inflammation, and supporting cellular repair, it helps relieve pain and promote tissue healing where your body needs it most.
Here are some of the conditions we treat using this non-invasive technique:
Persistent tension or injury in the lower back can restrict movement and affect daily life. Cold laser therapy targets the affected tissues with low‒level light to reduce pain, ease inflammation, and support healing—without medication or downtime.
Neck discomfort caused by poor posture, muscle tension, or repetitive strain can benefit from targeted laser therapy. The light penetrates deep into soft tissues to reduce stiffness and support a more comfortable range of motion.
Cold laser therapy helps reduce inflammation and pain in the wrist by improving circulation and supporting nerve function. It’s a non‒surgical option that can benefit patients experiencing numbness, tingling, or weakness from carpal tunnel syndrome.
For patients dealing with widespread pain and tenderness, cold laser therapy offers a gentle, drug‒free approach. The treatment helps stimulate cellular function and may contribute to overall relief and improved comfort in muscles and joints.
Sprains, strains, and soft tissue injuries respond well to cold laser therapy, which accelerates the healing process by boosting blood flow and tissue regeneration. It’s a valuable part of recovery for athletes or active individuals.
By stimulating the body’s healing response and reducing joint inflammation, cold laser therapy can ease the stiffness and discomfort caused by osteoarthritis—supporting better mobility and quality of life over time.

Advantages of Cold Laser Therapy With Crossroads Chiropractic & Health Center

At Crossroads Chiropractic & Health Center, we use cold laser therapy as part of a personalized, non‒invasive approach to healing. Whether you’re recovering from an injury or managing a chronic condition, this therapy supports your body’s natural ability to repair itself—without medication or surgery. Here’s how it can benefit your recovery:

Non‒Invasive and Drug‒Free

Cold laser therapy delivers targeted light to injured areas without cutting the skin or relying on medication. It’s a safe, gentle treatment that supports healing without side effects or downtime—ideal for patients seeking natural, non‒invasive relief.

Promotes Pain Relief

The therapy helps reduce pain by calming inflamed tissues, improving circulation, and triggering the release of endorphins. Many patients notice reduced discomfort in areas affected by chronic pain, soft tissue injuries, or joint issues.

Accelerates the Healing Process

Cold laser therapy enhances cellular function by delivering specific wavelengths of light to damaged tissues. This boost in cellular activity supports faster tissue healing, helping muscles, tendons, and ligaments recover more efficiently.

Reduces Inflammation and Swelling

By stimulating blood flow and lymphatic drainage, cold laser therapy helps minimize swelling in injured or inflamed areas. This makes it especially effective for conditions like tendonitis, arthritis, and sprains.

Improves Range of Motion

As inflammation subsides and tissues begin to heal, many patients experience increased flexibility and less stiffness. This can help restore motion in areas affected by injury, overuse, or degenerative changes.

Supports Overall Tissue Repair

The therapy works deep within the body to encourage tissue regeneration at the cellular level. Whether you're dealing with muscle tension or nerve‒related symptoms, cold laser therapy helps repair and strengthen the affected area over time.

Frequently Asked Question
What does cold laser therapy do?
Cold laser therapy uses low-level light to activate the body’s natural healing response. The laser light stimulates energy production in your cells, helping reduce inflammation, relieve pain, and support tissue repair in muscles, tendons, and joints.
What to expect after cold laser therapy?
Most patients feel little to no discomfort after treatment. You may notice mild warmth or tingling in the treated area, which usually fades quickly. There’s no downtime—you can go back to your normal routine right away. As the healing process begins, many people experience relief within just a few sessions.
How does cold laser therapy work?
The laser light is absorbed by your cells and stimulates the production of ATP, the energy your body uses to heal. This boost in cellular function improves blood flow, reduces swelling, and encourages tissue regeneration—making it an effective therapy for pain, injuries, and inflammation.
When should you not use laser therapy?
Cold laser therapy is generally safe, but it may not be recommended in certain cases—such as over cancerous lesions, during pregnancy (on the abdomen), or directly over the eyes. Your chiropractor will evaluate your health history to make sure the treatment is right for you.
