Laser Therapy at Gentle Care Chiro
Low-Level Laser Therapy, also known as cold laser, is a type of photobiomodulation that uses light therapy to change the biochemistry of the body. It works by activating the mitochondria of the cells, which are like batteries for your cells. This modern modality helps mitochondria function better and produce more energy, so they can work faster and heal more efficiently. The mitochondria are the building blocks of health and wellness.
Research confirms that lasering has a systemic effect on the body. Although the targeted area reaps the greatest benefit from therapy, the rest of the body benefits as well.

What to Expect
Dr Katherine will direct the device over the injured area for a few minutes at a time. People sometimes worry that this modality is painful or may cause burns, but Low-Level Laser Therapy (also called “cold laser therapy”) doesn’t burn the skin. In fact, most patients don’t even know it’s happening. The time required for treatment varies according to age and stage of the injury. You can expect treatment times to be as little as 2 minutes or as much 20 minutes.
