Laser therapy is a medical treatment that uses focused light to stimulate a process called photobiomodulation (PBM). During PBM, photons from the laser penetrate deep into tissue and trigger a biological cascade at the cellular level — increasing cellular metabolism, reducing inflammation, and accelerating the body's natural healing process.

At Freedom Chiropractic, we use the LightForce XPi Deep Tissue Laser Therapy System — a high-power class IV therapy laser capable of delivering therapeutic dosages deep into muscle, joint, and nerve tissue far more effectively than lower-power devices. The result is faster pain relief, reduced swelling, improved circulation, and accelerated tissue repair.

Laser therapy works synergistically with chiropractic care and other treatments we offer, including shockwave therapy and spinal decompression, creating a comprehensive, non-surgical approach to pain relief and recovery.

Laser therapy treatments at Freedom Chiropractic are comfortable, relaxing, and require no preparation or recovery time. Here is what the process looks like:

Treatment is Applied Directly to Skin — For optimal photon penetration, the laser is applied directly to the skin over the treatment area. Clothing or topical dressings are removed from the treated area to ensure the light reaches the tissue beneath.

You'll Feel a Soothing Warmth — Most patients describe a pleasant warming sensation during treatment. When the massage ball treatment head is used, many patients describe it as a "laser massage." Patients receiving higher-power treatments also frequently report a rapid decrease in pain during the session itself.

Sessions Are Quick — 4 to 7 Minutes — The LightForce XPi delivers high-power dosages efficiently, so full therapeutic treatment is achieved in a fraction of the time required by lower-power devices.

No Downtime Required — There is no recovery period. You return to your normal activities immediately following treatment. Some patients notice continued improvement in the hours after each session as the photobiomodulation cascade continues at the cellular level.

A Typical Course of Treatment — Most patients begin to see meaningful results after 3 to 5 treatments. Your chiropractor will develop a specific plan of care based on your diagnosis, the tissues involved, and whether your condition is acute or chronic. Chronic conditions typically require more treatments than acute injuries.

What does laser therapy feel like?
Most patients feel a gentle, soothing warmth as the laser is applied. When the massage ball treatment head is used, many describe the experience as a relaxing "laser massage." Patients with higher-power settings often report a noticeable decrease in pain during the treatment itself — which can be especially pronounced for those suffering from chronic pain.

Is laser therapy safe?
Yes. Deep tissue laser therapy has been used clinically for decades and is FDA-cleared. With over one million treatments performed worldwide each month, it has an excellent safety profile. The LightForce XPi is used in professional sports facilities, hospitals, and chiropractic practices across the country. Most patients have no contraindications. Your chiropractor will review your history before beginning treatment.

How long do treatments last?
Sessions with the LightForce XPi typically take 4–7 minutes per treatment area, depending on the size, depth, and chronicity of the condition being treated. High-power lasers achieve therapeutic dosages quickly, making treatment efficient without sacrificing effectiveness.

How many treatments will I need?
Most patients begin to see results after 3 to 5 treatments. Acute injuries may resolve more quickly; chronic conditions typically require a longer course of care. Your chiropractor will design a personalized treatment plan based on your specific diagnosis and response to treatment.

Can laser therapy be combined with chiropractic care?
Absolutely — and it is often more effective when combined. At Freedom Chiropractic, laser therapy complements chiropractic adjustments, spinal decompression, and shockwave therapy as part of a comprehensive, non-surgical pain relief and recovery plan. Many patients experience faster and more complete relief when multiple therapies are used together.

Does laser therapy hurt?
No. Most patients find treatment comfortable and even enjoyable. There are no needles, no incisions, and no pain from the laser itself. You will feel warmth over the treatment area, and many patients experience pain relief during the session.
