Recovery support
Cold Laser Therapy
Non-invasive light therapy to support recovery and healing.
At Simi Spine and Wellness, we offer Cold Laser Therapy, also known as Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT), as part of our comprehensive approach to pain relief, injury recovery, and wellness care. This therapy uses focused light energy to support the body’s natural healing processes without heat, discomfort, or downtime.
Cold Laser Therapy is frequently used alongside chiropractic care, massage therapy, spinal decompression, and other treatments to help patients recover from injuries, reduce inflammation, and improve overall function.
What is cold laser therapy?
Cold Laser Therapy uses specific wavelengths of low-level light that penetrate the skin and underlying tissues. Unlike surgical lasers, cold lasers do not produce heat or damage tissue. Instead, the light energy is absorbed by cells and may help support normal cellular function and recovery.
Treatment is completely non-invasive and painless. During a session, a handheld laser applicator is placed over the targeted area while therapeutic light is delivered to the tissues below the skin.
Most patients feel little to nothing during treatment other than the applicator resting gently against the skin.
What to expect during treatment
A typical Cold Laser Therapy session takes only a few minutes. The treatment is comfortable, painless, and requires no recovery period afterward. Patients can immediately return to their normal daily activities.
There are no needles, injections, medications, or surgical procedures involved. Many patients appreciate the convenience of adding Cold Laser Therapy to their overall care plan as part of a comprehensive approach to healing and recovery.
Part of a personalized treatment plan
Cold Laser Therapy is designed to complement, not replace, other forms of care. Depending on your condition, Dr. Shawn DeCloedt may recommend combining laser therapy with chiropractic adjustments, spinal decompression, massage therapy, assisted stretching, corrective exercises, or other wellness services to help maximize results.
Whether Cold Laser Therapy is appropriate for your specific condition will be determined during your examination and consultation.
