Chronic pain affects millions of people every day—limiting mobility, disrupting sleep, and diminishing quality of life. At Gilroy Family Chiropractic, we’re committed to offering innovative, non-invasive solutions to help our patients manage and reduce pain naturally. One of the most promising treatments we offer is Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT), also known as cold laser therapy.
Whether you’re struggling with arthritis, back pain, sports injuries, or repetitive strain, LLLT could be the breakthrough you’ve been searching for. Here’s a closer look at what it is and how it works.
What Is Low Level Laser Therapy?
Low Level Laser Therapy uses specific wavelengths of red and near-infrared light to stimulate healing in tissues. Unlike surgical or high-heat lasers, LLLT doesn’t cut or burn the skin. Instead, it penetrates deeply and safely to promote cellular regeneration and reduce inflammation.
At Gilroy Family Chiropractic, we use state-of-the-art laser technology to ensure optimal results tailored to each patient’s condition.
Key Benefits of LLLT for Chronic Pain
1. Reduces Inflammation and Swelling
Chronic pain is often rooted in ongoing inflammation. LLLT works at the cellular level to reduce inflammation by improving blood flow and decreasing inflammatory markers. This leads to less swelling and discomfort in affected areas.
Ideal For: Arthritis, tendonitis, bursitis, and other inflammatory conditions.
2. Accelerates Tissue Repair
Laser therapy stimulates mitochondrial activity in your cells, which speeds up tissue repair and growth. This can significantly reduce recovery time for both acute injuries and long-term wear-and-tear issues.
Gilroy Family Chiropractic Insight: Whether you’re healing from a sprain or managing long-standing joint degeneration, LLLT helps your body repair itself more efficiently.
3. Non-Invasive and Drug-Free
One of the biggest advantages of LLLT is that it’s completely non-invasive. There’s no surgery, no downtime, and no medications involved—just safe, painless light therapy that works with your body’s natural healing mechanisms.
For those trying to avoid opioids or NSAIDs, LLLT offers a powerful alternative for managing chronic pain.
4. Improves Nerve Function
Low Level Laser Therapy has been shown to stimulate nerve regeneration and reduce nerve-related pain. This makes it especially effective for conditions like neuropathy, sciatica, or carpal tunnel syndrome.
Did you know? Many patients at Gilroy Family Chiropractic report improvements in sensation and reduced nerve-related discomfort after just a few sessions.
5. Enhances Mobility and Range of Motion
By reducing pain and inflammation, LLLT helps patients move more freely. Whether you’re dealing with joint stiffness or soft tissue tightness, improved mobility can lead to better posture, increased activity, and a healthier lifestyle overall.
Our goal at Gilroy Family Chiropractic is not just to relieve your pain—but to restore your movement and confidence.
What to Expect During Treatment
LLLT sessions are quick—typically 5 to 20 minutes depending on the area being treated. Most patients feel no discomfort during the procedure, and many experience relief after just a few sessions.
At Gilroy Family Chiropractic, we conduct a thorough assessment before beginning treatment to ensure LLLT is the right option for your specific condition.
Is LLLT Right for You?
If you’ve been living with chronic pain and haven’t found lasting relief, Low Level Laser Therapy may be the missing piece. Safe, effective, and backed by years of clinical research, LLLT can help you reclaim your comfort and quality of life—without surgery or medication.
