Here at Shreveport Chiropractic, where we offer cutting-edge treatments to alleviate musculoskeletal pain and promote healing. One such innovative modality we utilize in our office is Cold Laser Therapy.

Cold laser therapy, also known as low-level laser therapy (LLLT), involves the use of red-beam or near-infrared lasers with a specific wavelength range between 600 and 1000 nm and low power output ranging from 5 to 500 milliwatts. Unlike surgical lasers that operate at higher power levels, cold lasers generate minimal heat and produce no sensation or burning of the skin during treatment.

The unique properties of cold lasers allow them to penetrate deep into the tissues without causing harm or discomfort. This non-invasive approach harnesses the power of photobiostimulation, where the laser light interacts with the cells in the targeted area, initiating a cascade of cellular responses that promote healing and pain relief.

The hypothesized mechanism of action behind cold laser therapy is based on the ability of laser light to penetrate the skin and interact with the mitochondria within cells. This interaction stimulates various physiological processes, including improved cellular metabolism, increased production of ATP (cellular energy), enhanced circulation, and the release of natural pain-relieving substances.

Cold laser therapy has shown promising results in the treatment of various musculoskeletal conditions, including acute and chronic pain, inflammation, and tissue damage. It can be utilized to address conditions such as back pain, neck pain, joint pain, sprains, strains, tendonitis, and more.

Our experienced chiropractors will carefully assess your condition to determine if cold laser therapy is an appropriate treatment option for you. During the therapy session, the cold laser device will be precisely applied to the affected area, delivering targeted and controlled laser energy to stimulate the healing process.

The benefits of cold laser therapy include reduced pain, decreased inflammation, improved tissue repair, enhanced range of motion, and accelerated recovery. This non-invasive treatment option is safe, painless, and has minimal risks or side effects.

We are dedicated to providing personalized care and tailored treatment plans that address your unique needs. Our chiropractors will integrate cold laser therapy with other complementary therapies, such as chiropractic adjustments, rehabilitative exercises, and lifestyle recommendations, to optimize your healing and overall well-being.
