Cold Laser Therapy Q & A

What is cold laser therapy?

Cold laser therapy is a modern treatment that uses low-level light to stimulate healing in damaged tissues. Unlike surgical or high-intensity lasers, cold lasers do not generate heat or cut tissue. Instead, the light penetrates deep into the skin and muscles, energizing cells to repair and regenerate naturally. This makes it an effective option for patients seeking a gentle yet powerful therapy to reduce pain and inflammation.

What conditions can cold laser therapy help with?

At Chiropractic Rehabilitation and Acupuncture, cold laser therapy is used to treat a variety of conditions, including:

Chronic neck and back pain
Arthritis and joint inflammation
Sports injuries and repetitive strain
Tendonitis and bursitis
Sprains and muscle strains
Nerve-related pain, such as sciatica
Post-surgical recovery support

Cold laser therapy is often recommended for acute injuries and long-term conditions. It offers relief without medication or invasive procedures.

How does cold laser therapy work?

When the laser light is applied to targeted areas, it interacts with cells and stimulates increased energy production. This process improves circulation, reduces swelling, and accelerates tissue repair. Many patients notice reduced pain and stiffness within a few sessions, along with improved flexibility and function. Treatments are painless—most patients feel only a mild warmth or tingling during the session.

Why choose cold laser therapy?

Dr. Ferguson incorporates cold laser therapy into comprehensive care plans that may also include chiropractic adjustments, acupuncture, massage, or therapeutic exercises. By combining advanced technology with hands-on care, patients benefit from faster recovery, improved mobility, and long-lasting relief.

Cold laser therapy is particularly useful for patients seeking a non-drug, non-surgical solution for chronic or recurring pain.

What can I expect during a session?

Cold laser therapy sessions are quick, typically lasting 10–20 minutes, depending on the treatment area. Dr. Ferguson will identify the affected tissues and apply the laser using a handheld device.

There is no downtime after treatment—you can resume normal activities immediately. However, a series of treatments may be recommended as part of your personalized care plan for the best results.
