Cold Laser
Therapy

Cold laser therapy, also known as low-level laser therapy (LLLT) or photobiomodulation, uses red and near-infrared wavelengths of light to support the body's natural healing processes.

This non-invasive therapy is commonly used to help reduce inflammation, improve circulation, support tissue recovery, and relieve discomfort associated with a variety of acute and chronic conditions.

Patients of all ages may benefit from cold laser therapy as part of a personalized treatment plan designed to help them move more comfortably and return to the activities they enjoy.

Cold laser therapy is a simple, painless treatment performed using a handheld device that delivers specific wavelengths of light to the targeted area.

During treatment, the light penetrates the tissues and is absorbed by cells within the body. The goal is to support normal cellular function, encourage circulation, and assist the body's natural recovery processes.

Many patients choose cold laser therapy as a non-invasive treatment option that may help reduce inflammation, improve mobility, and support tissue healing.

Treatment frequency depends on the patient's condition, goals, and how long the problem has been present.

Typical treatment sessions last between 5 and 15 minutes, depending on the area being treated.

Acute conditions often require more frequent visits initially, while chronic conditions may benefit from a longer treatment schedule. Dr. Moreland will recommend a treatment plan based on your individual needs and progress.

Back In Motion Chiropractic also offers at-home rental and purchase options for select laser therapy devices, allowing some patients to continue treatment outside of the office when appropriate.

In one word: Yes.

Cold laser therapy has been used in clinical settings for decades and is FDA-cleared for a variety of applications. It provides a drug-free, non-invasive treatment option that is generally well tolerated by patients.

Research into low-level laser therapy continues to expand, and many healthcare providers use it as part of a comprehensive treatment approach for musculoskeletal conditions, pain management, and tissue recovery.

Dr. Moreland has nearly two decades of clinical experience using low-level laser therapy and incorporates it when it is appropriate for a patient's condition and goals.
