With Cold Laser Therapy, you get the benefits of advanced technology combined with the compassionate, personalized care that Rincon Chiropractic is renowned for.
Understanding Low-Level Laser Therapy
Cold Laser Therapy, also known as Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT), is a cutting-edge approach to pain management and tissue healing. It uses low levels of light to stimulate healing within the body at a cellular level. Though the term “laser” might sound intense, rest assured the process is both safe and painless. The cold laser does not burn or cut the skin; instead, it penetrates the skin’s surface, triggering biological reactions that speed up the body’s healing processes.
Endorsed by the FDA and practiced by Dr. Amie Gregory at Rincon Chiropractic, Cold Laser Therapy provides an effective, non-pharmacological alternative to traditional pain management techniques. She uses Microlight ML830® and TerraQuant Laser because they are low energy cold lasers that are safe, noninvasive, light-emitting, medical devices. It holds a robust safety record, and countless patients have already experienced the transformative effects of this advanced therapy.
The Science Behind Cold Laser Therapy
Cold Laser Therapy works by employing light wavelengths, typically between 600 and 1000 nanometers, which can penetrate 2 to 5 centimeters below the skin’s surface. The light energy stimulates the mitochondria in the cells, often referred to as the cell’s powerhouses. This stimulation promotes a cascade of cellular activities, including increased production of cellular energy (ATP), reduction of inflammation, and the release of growth factors.
The increased ATP production boosts cell repair and proliferation. At the same time, inflammation reduction aids in pain management and minimizes tissue damage. Moreover, the release of growth factors promotes healing and tissue regeneration. In essence, Cold Laser Therapy is like giving your body’s healing processes a turbo boost, naturally and without side effects.

When Cold Laser Therapy is Not Suitable
Cold Laser Therapy is remarkably safe, but there are instances when it may not be the right fit. This therapy is generally not recommended for those with cancer, as the process can stimulate cell growth. Pregnant women, especially those in their first trimester, should also avoid this treatment to prevent any potential risks to the fetus.
Additionally, those with light sensitivity or taking photosensitizing medications should discuss this with Dr. Gregory. At Rincon Chiropractic, your health and safety are our paramount concerns, and we ensure every treatment is suitable for your specific health situation.
Pairing This Therapy with Other Treatments
Cold Laser Therapy can be a potent tool when used in conjunction with other chiropractic treatments. It can enhance the outcomes of chiropractic adjustments by reducing inflammation and promoting tissue healing. When paired with massage therapy, it can help relax tight muscles and further alleviate pain.
Additionally, it can complement acupuncture by improving energy flow and stimulating the body’s healing response. Dr. Amie Gregory is well-versed in integrating it within a broader, holistic treatment plan for optimal health outcomes.
