Laser Therapy

What Is Laser Therapy?

Laser therapy, also known as cold laser therapy or low-level laser therapy (LLLT), is an advanced, non-invasive treatment that uses specific wavelengths of light to stimulate healing at the cellular level. At North Port Chiropractic, we use state-of-the-art laser technology to treat a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions, providing our patients with an effective alternative to surgery and medication.

How Does Laser Therapy Work?

Cold laser therapy works by delivering photons of light energy deep into tissue. These photons are absorbed by the cells, stimulating the mitochondria to produce more ATP (cellular energy). This increased energy production accelerates the body's natural healing processes, reduces inflammation, and provides pain relief. The treatment is painless, with most patients feeling a gentle warmth during the session.
