Chiropractic Laser Therapy
When most people think of lasers, the last thing that normally springs to mind is pain relief. However, cold laser therapy (also known as low level laser therapy/LLLT) is a highly effective treatment for many chronic conditions chiropractors help with.
Today, we’ll be taking a look at how LLLT actually works – and why so many of our patients love it. So, if you’ve ever been curious about low-level laser therapy, make sure to read on!
Laser therapy has been successful in treating a wide variety of ailments including:
| Plantar Fasciitis | Bursitis | Carpal Tunnel Syndrome | Epicondylitis |
| Tendonitis | Rheumatoid Arthritis | Bulging and Herniated Discs | Ligament and Tendon Tears |
But first . . . what is cold laser therapy?
Laser therapy is a treatment wherein a clinician will apply low-level lasers to the affected part of your body.
(Totally pain free, of course!)
Low-power lasers can relieve pain and enhance cell function – both of which help to speed up your healing process!
LLLT is a non-invasive and non-toxic treatment option – that has been proven to be incredibly effective.
The system we use, Meditech, has been involved in laser therapy research since 1989. This system is considered the gold standard in the industry and is used in over 34 countries.

Here are key improvements we see with LLLT:
- Production and release of beta endorphins
- Increase in cortisol production.
- Increased ATP production
- Stimulation of protein synthesis
- Enhanced DNA replication
- Elevated levels of serotonin
- Acetylcholine facilitation neurotransmission
- Vasodilatation and angiogenesis.
The Bioflex system works by utilizing super luminous and laser diodes to irradiate abnormal tissue with photons. Light energy is then converted to biochemical energy and facilitates the restoration of normal cell morphology and functioning.
The main benefits of cold laser therapy:
- Non toxic
- Non invasive
- Highly effective
- No known adverse effects
- Significant improvement rates (cure rate >90%)
