What Is Cold Laser Therapy?
Cold laser therapy — also known as low-level laser therapy (LLLT) or photobiomodulation — uses specific wavelengths of light to penetrate the skin and stimulate cellular activity. Unlike surgical lasers, cold lasers don’t cut or heat tissue. Instead, the light energy is absorbed by damaged cells, boosting their ability to repair and regenerate.
The treatment is comfortable — most patients feel nothing during the session. Each treatment takes just a few minutes, and there’s no downtime afterward. At Full Potential Chiropractic, we use cold laser therapy alongside chiropractic adjustments, spinal decompression, and rehabilitation to create comprehensive treatment plans.
