Laser/Light Therapy

Light-based treatment for pain, inflammation, and tissue healing.

Light-based therapies offer a gentle, non-invasive way to support healing, reduce inflammation, and help relieve pain. 

We offer Laser Therapy as well as Red and Near-Infrared Light Therapy.  Both use specific wavelengths of light over an area of concern to support healing, reduce inflammation, and help relieve both acute and chronic pain. They are non-invasive modalities designed to support the body’s natural healing processes.  Light therapy can be integrated as part of your chiropractic treatment plan.

What to Expect

Laser/Light therapy treatment are customized to the area being addressed and may be used on their own or alongside other treatments. Sessions are painless and targeted. Red and Near-Infrared treatments usually last about 20 minutes, and often create a gentle warming sensation. In addition to pain relief and improved healing, some patients also report better sleep and an improved sense of well-being after treatment.

Advanced Technology and Treatment Approach

At Cole Harbour Chiropractic & Wellness, we use Health Canada–approved light therapy devices with different wavelengths which allow treatment superficial tissues as well as deeper structures including muscles, nerves and joints.

Conditions That May Benefit from Therapy

Light based therapies may be helpful for conditions such as back and neck pain, disc-related irritation, sciatica, fibromyalgia, osteoarthritis, repetitive strain injuries, muscle strains, and joint sprains.

Safety and Important Considerations

Light therapy is considered safe, but some precautions do apply. Your chiropractor will take a full history and assessment to determine whether this treatment is appropriate for you. Special considerations may include pregnancy, children under 14, recent cortisone or Botox injections, hyperthyroidism, active cancer, and medications or conditions that cause photosensitivity.
