What Is Red Laser Therapy?
Red Laser Therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses specific wavelengths of red light to stimulate cellular repair, reduce inflammation, and accelerate healing. Unlike high-heat lasers used in surgery, red laser therapy delivers low-level light energy that penetrates the skin without discomfort or tissue damage. It’s a safe, effective option for managing pain, enhancing recovery, and supporting overall tissue health.
How Red Laser Therapy Supports Chiropractic Care
At Demsky Chiropractic, we incorporate Red Laser Therapy into care plans to complement the effects of chiropractic adjustments. While adjustments restore joint alignment and nerve function, red laser therapy works at the cellular level to reduce inflammation and promote faster healing.
Together, these treatments can:
Speed up tissue repair and cellular regeneration
Decrease pain and swelling in targeted areas
Improve circulation and oxygen flow
Support recovery from acute injuries and chronic conditions
Enhance results of spinal adjustments and overall mobility
Red Laser Therapy is quick, painless, and performed in-office—usually in just a few minutes per session, with no downtime.
On a cellular level:
Increase cellular energy production (ATP) by stimulating the mitochondria, allowing injured cells to repair and regenerate more efficiently.
Reduce inflammation by decreasing pro-inflammatory mediators and increasing anti-inflammatory responses in the body.
Accelerate tissue healing by promoting fibroblast activity, which is responsible for collagen and connective tissue repair.
Enhance circulation by stimulating nitric oxide release, which improves blood flow and oxygen delivery to damaged tissues.
Support nerve regeneration and reduce nerve pain by promoting the repair of damaged nerve tissue and modulating nerve function.
Decrease oxidative stress by increasing the production of antioxidant enzymes, protecting cells from free radical damage.
Release endorphins, the body’s natural pain-relieving chemicals, helping to modulate pain through the Gate Control Theory by stimulating large-diameter sensory nerves.
Conditions Treated
Red Laser Therapy is beneficial for a wide range of musculoskeletal issues, including:
Neck and Back Pain – Reduces inflammation and supports muscle and joint recovery
Sports Injuries – Helps heal sprains, strains, and overuse injuries faster
Joint Pain & Arthritis – Alleviates stiffness and promotes joint health
Tendonitis & Soft Tissue Injuries – Encourages quicker healing in muscles and tendons
Post-Adjustment Inflammation – Enhances the body’s healing response after chiropractic care
