In simple terms, the cold laser increases cell energy which leads to healing. On a deeper level, a cold laser works by stimulating mitochondria that reside in cells.

Mitochondria are the energy-producing portion of a cell that produces energy packets called adenosine triphosphate (ATP).  ATP is the currency of the cell. Many processes (including healing) in the body require ATP to function. By using the laser you temporarily increase the cell’s capacity to create the needed energy required to function and heal.

The number of cold laser treatments will vary based on conditions and severity.  An initial examination will allow the doctor to give a better estimate of the care needed. The initial recommendation will usually start at around 4 to 10 applications.  Laser treatments are an additional option to add to your chiropractic care. However, laser treatments can be done independent of chiropractic care and will require an initial exam.
