Laser Therapy
A natural alternative to medication and surgery
Laser therapy, also known as low-level laser therapy (LLLT) or cold laser therapy, is a non-invasive treatment that utilizes low-level lasers or light-emitting diodes (LEDs) to stimulate cellular function and promote the body’s natural healing processes. Unlike high-power lasers used in surgical procedures, cold lasers emit low levels of light that penetrate the skin without causing heat, burns, or tissue damage. This light energy is absorbed by the cells, triggering a series of biological responses that help to reduce inflammation, alleviate pain, and accelerate tissue repair and regeneration. Laser therapy is particularly effective for treating a wide range of conditions, including muscle and joint pain, soft tissue injuries, chronic pain disorders, and even certain skin conditions. It’s a versatile therapy that can be tailored to address specific health concerns, making it an excellent option for patients seeking relief from pain and injury.
The effectiveness of laser therapy lies in its ability to enhance the body’s natural healing mechanisms. By improving blood flow and increasing oxygenation to the injured or inflamed tissues, laser therapy helps reduce swelling, minimize pain, and promote faster recovery. This process not only helps to alleviate symptoms but also addresses the underlying causes of pain and dysfunction. Laser therapy is often used as a complementary treatment alongside other therapeutic modalities, such as chiropractic care, physical therapy, and massage, to provide a comprehensive approach to healing. Because it is a non-invasive and drug-free option, laser therapy is a safe and effective alternative for patients looking to manage pain and enhance recovery without the potential side effects of medications or the risks associated with surgical procedures.

Laser Therapy FAQs
Cold laser is “low-level laser therapy”, also known as “LLLT” in the scientific literature. It’s not really cold, the term is just used because it doesn’t produce heat.
Yes, photobiomodulation (aka “PBM”) is another term that you will see in the scientific literature.
Not at all. There is no heat or vibration from the laser at the wavelengths used to heal human tissue.
1. It accelerates healing of your cells.
2. It interferes with and blocks inflammation.
3. It promotes new blood vessel growth in areas of scar tissue and fibrosis.
1. The laser puts the correct range of healing wavelength light photons (630-640 nm) right into your cells. Erchonia has their laser set to 635 nm, right in the middle of the healing wavelength, and at a low-level of power in the order of milliwatts (mW) so that our cells are not damaged by too much power (i.e. too many Watts). The red light bathes your cells with photons that stimulate the mitochondria in your cells to produce more energy. Our mitochondria are the energy powerhouse of our cells. They make ATP, which is like our own gasoline, and when the laser hits the mitochondria ATP production is increased. Our cells replicate DNA at a faster rate, cellular functions occur more rapidly, and we heal faster. There is a cumulative effect of cellular healing with multiple treatments.
2. Our inflammatory pathway can get interrupted by drugs like Ibuprofen and Tylenol, for example. That’s why we hurt less when we take these kinds of medications. LLLT also interferes with the very same inflammatory pathway and reduces our inflammatory response so we can heal faster and hurt less.
3. The laser stimulates the growth of new blood vessels in areas of scar tissue, fibrosis and adhesion. This provides more oxygen, blood and nutrition to healing those areas with residual tissue damage.

I feel better than I have in a long time. No more back pain. Great setup. Do not feel that I am wasting time waiting for services. In and out, with treatment, in less than 30 minutes. Highly recommend.
Diane O.
Dr. Jones and his team are doing an awesome job!! I came in nearly unable to walk and they quickly turned that around!! I thank God for what they have been able to do!!!

I have been a patient of Jason Jones for 20+ years, and I have learned a lot from him. He is the reason I'm walking relatively pain free today. Your back is just as important as any other organ, maybe more so as it is the information highway of your body. Take care of it. Thanks to Dr. Jason & his crew!
Johnny W.
When I first went to Dr. Jones, I could barely move. Even lying down caused excruciating pain. It feels like a miracle to be able to play for long periods of time with my kid. Thank you Dr. Jones!
Alexandria J.
I was skeptical at first, but was very pleased with the out come of Dr. Jones recommendation. My sciatic nerve pain is 100% better. I'm still a work in progress. Would highly recommend him and his staff.
Barbara S.
Without a doubt the best chiropractor I've ever been to. I have came crawling in on my hands and knees and by the time he was done I was walking out on my own.
