Photobiomodulation (Laser Therapy)
A non-invasive treatment to support recovery, reduce pain, and improve tissue healing
Photobiomodulation therapy (also known as laser treatment) is a non-invasive modality that uses specific wavelengths of light to help reduce pain and inflammation, support tissue repair, and improve recovery in both acute and chronic musculoskeletal conditions.
This treatment is painless, produces no heat, and requires no downtime. It is commonly integrated into chiropractic and rehabilitation care plans to support functional recovery.
At our clinic, we use advanced photobiomodulation technology from Erchonia, a globally recognized leader in clinical low-level laser systems.
How it Works
Photobiomodulation delivers targeted light energy to affected tissues, where it interacts with cells to help regulate the inflammatory response, improve local circulation, and support the body’s natural healing process at the cellular level.
For patients, this means less downtime and a faster return to normal activity—whether that’s work, sport, or daily movement—by supporting the body’s ability to repair irritated or injured tissue more efficiently.
Unlike heat-based therapies or invasive procedures, this treatment works deep within the tissue at a cellular level, without discomfort, downtime, or disruption to surrounding structures.
What Can the GVL Be Used For?
Because it operates at a higher photon energy level than infrared or red lasers, it tackles pain and tissue dysfunction from multiple angles. It is heavily utilized for:
- Chronic Musculoskeletal Pain: Specifically FDA-cleared for the treatment of chronic, nagging neck and shoulder pain.
- Acute Strains, Sprains & Sports Injuries: Speeds up recovery from ankle sprains, muscle tears, and twisted knees, allowing for a much quicker return to regular activity.
- Inflammatory & Joint Conditions: Drastically reduces swelling, eases arthritis stiffness, and helps manage conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome or plantar fasciitis.
- Range of Motion Restorations: Clinically proven to noticeably increase joint mobility and flexibility in a single session.
- Dermatological & Soft Tissue Healing: The violet wavelength possesses unique anti-bacterial and anti-microbial properties, making it excellent for skin tissue, accelerating wound healing, and reducing post-injury or post-surgical scar tissue.
What to expect
Treatment is simple, comfortable, and typically takes only a few minutes per area. The laser is applied directly to the affected region while you relax. Most patients feel no sensation during treatment.
There is no downtime, and normal activities can be resumed immediately.
