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.

It also supports the macrophages involved in cleaning up damaged tissue and rebuilding healthy tissue. The result? Faster healing, less inflammation, and better function.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

How Many Sessions Will I Need?

It depends on what we’re treating and how long you’ve had the problem. Acute injuries (something that just happened) often respond quickly–sometimes in just a few sessions. Chronic issues (something you’ve been dealing with for months or years) take longer.

We’ll recommend a plan based on your specific situation and adjust it as you improve.

Is Laser Therapy Safe?

Yes. It’s non-invasive, painless, and has no downtime. You don’t need to do anything special before or after your session–just show up, relax, and let the laser do its work.

The only people who shouldn’t use laser therapy are those who are pregnant, have active cancer in the treatment area, or have certain photosensitivity conditions. If you’re not sure, we’ll discuss it during your consultation.

Why Choose Graceland Chiropractic for Laser Therapy?

We use laser therapy every week on a wide range of real-world problems. And because we offer chiropractic, massage, spinal decompression, and dry needling all under one roof, we can build a plan that supports healing from multiple angles.
