Cold Laser Therapy

FDA-Cleared Cold Laser Technology for Natural Healing and Pain Relief

At Crater Chiropractic, we offer cutting-edge cold laser therapy using advanced devices from Erchonia®, the industry leader in low-level laser technology. Our clinic features the FX 405, GVL, and EVRL lasers—all FDA-cleared and clinically proven to relieve pain, reduce inflammation, and accelerate healing at the cellular level.

Cold laser therapy is non-invasive, drug-free, and completely painless—making it a powerful tool whether you’re recovering from an injury, managing chronic pain, or seeking a natural way to boost healing and mobility.

Healing with Light: The Power of Cold Laser Therapy

Cold laser therapy, also called low-level laser therapy (LLLT), uses specific wavelengths of light to stimulate your body’s natural repair processes. Unlike surgical lasers, cold lasers do not cut, burn, or generate heat. Instead, they deliver targeted light energy into soft tissue and cells, triggering increased ATP (energy) production, reduced inflammation, and improved circulation. This light-based treatment works at the cellular level to enhance tissue regeneration and accelerate healing timelines. It’s often used alongside chiropractic care, massage, or rehab exercises to maximize recovery.

This scientifically supported process helps relieve pain, promote tissue repair, and restore function—without downtime or side effects. It’s a gentle, non-invasive option for patients seeking drug-free recovery. Treatments are fast, comfortable, and suitable for a wide range of musculoskeletal and nerve-related conditions. Patients often experience noticeable improvement within just a few sessions. Cold laser therapy can be repeated as needed and is safe for long-term care plans.

Relax, Heal, Recover: What Happens During Treatment

Laser therapy treatments are fast, gentle, and highly effective. During your session, your provider will apply the appropriate Erchonia laser device over the targeted area while you remain fully clothed and comfortably positioned. Sessions typically last 10 to 20 minutes and are entirely non-invasive.

There’s no heat, vibration, or discomfort—just focused light working beneath the surface to stimulate healing at the cellular level. There’s no downtime afterward, so you can resume your normal activities immediately. Each session builds on the last, creating cumulative healing effects over time.

Some patients experience relief after the first visit, while others notice steady improvement across a series of treatments. We’ll create a personalized care plan tailored to your condition, recovery goals, and overall wellness needs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Your Guide to Laser Therapy at Crater Chiropractic

Cold laser therapy is one of the safest and most effective non-invasive treatments available for addressing pain, inflammation, and soft tissue injuries. At Crater Chiropractic, we use advanced Erchonia® laser systems to support healing at the cellular level—without surgery or downtime. Below you'll find answers to the most common questions patients ask about this innovative, light-based therapy.

  • Cold laser therapy—also known as low-level laser therapy (LLLT)—uses specific wavelengths of light to stimulate your body’s natural healing process. The laser light penetrates deep into the tissues, helping to reduce inflammation, relieve pain, and accelerate cellular repair—all without heat, surgery, or medication.

  • The light energy from the laser is absorbed by your cells and converted into cellular energy (ATP). This increases circulation, reduces swelling, and promotes faster tissue regeneration. Over time, this helps resolve inflammation, ease pain, and restore normal function.

  • At Crater Chiropractic, we use three advanced devices from Erchonia®, the global leader in low-level laser technology:

    • FX 405: A hands-free system combining red and violet light, ideal for chronic pain and larger treatment areas.

    • GVL: A handheld green and violet laser designed for inflammation and immune system support.

    • EVRL: A portable red and violet laser for pinpoint accuracy in soft tissue and nerve-related care.

    Each device is FDA-cleared and backed by peer-reviewed research for safety and effectiveness.

  • Cold laser therapy is used to treat a wide range of musculoskeletal and nerve-related conditions, including:

    • Neck and shoulder pain

    • Back pain and sciatica

    • Plantar fasciitis

    • Joint pain and arthritis

    • Tendonitis and ligament sprains

    • Nerve pain or neuropathy

    • Sports injuries and overuse conditions

    • Post-operative healing

    • Inflammation, swelling, and tissue damage

    If you're unsure whether laser therapy is appropriate for your condition, our team is happy to provide a consultation.

  • Yes—laser therapy is extremely safe. The lasers we use are Class II, low-level, non-thermal medical devices. There is no risk of burning, cutting, or damaging tissue, and treatments are painless, non-invasive, and well tolerated by nearly all patients.

  • No. Cold laser therapy is completely painless. You may feel a gentle warmth or slight tingling as circulation improves, but there is no heat, vibration, or discomfort. Most patients find the experience relaxing.

  • Laser therapy sessions typically last between 10 and 20 minutes, depending on the area being treated and the severity of your condition. There’s no downtime—you can return to your normal activities immediately afterward.

  • The number of treatments varies based on your condition and how your body responds. Some patients experience relief after just one or two sessions, while chronic or complex conditions may require 6–12 visits to achieve optimal results.

  • At this time, most insurance plans do not cover cold laser therapy, but many patients choose to pay out-of-pocket because the results are fast, drug-free, and lasting. We’re happy to discuss pricing and package options with you during your visit.

  • Absolutely. Laser therapy is often used alongside chiropractic care, massage therapy, and rehabilitation exercises to maximize healing. It helps reduce inflammation and soft tissue tension, which can make other treatments more effective and longer lasting.

  • No referral is needed. Simply call our office to schedule a consultation. We’ll assess your needs and recommend a care plan that may include laser therapy.
