How Laser Therapy Works
Class IV Red Laser Therapy (also called low-level red laser therapy) uses a handheld device that sends specific wavelengths of red light deep into your tissues. This light energy activates the mitochondria in your cells–the part responsible for producing energy–so they can repair more efficiently.
Sessions are quick and noninvasive. Most people feel only mild warmth in the area being treated, and you can go right back to your day afterward.
What to Expect During Your Visit
During your session, the doctor moves the handheld laser device over the target area for several minutes. You’ll feel gentle warmth, but it’s not uncomfortable. Some patients describe it as relaxing.
We often pair laser therapy with other treatments–chiropractic adjustments to restore motion, massage to release tight muscles, or dry needling to target trigger points. When you address the problem from multiple angles, you heal faster and feel better longer.
What Laser Therapy Helps With
Laser therapy works best for soft tissue problems where you need better healing, not just symptom masking. It’s often recommended for:
- Tendinitis and bursitis
- Chronic muscle tightness in the neck, shoulders, or lower back
- Lingering soreness after a strain or sprain
- Overuse injuries in active people
- Recurring flare-ups from old soft tissue injuries
- Joint pain and stiffness
Your chiropractor will let you know if laser is likely to help based on your exam and any imaging we’ve done.

How Many Sessions Will I Need?
