Infrared Cold Laser Therapy in Tucson, AZ
Services > Infrared Cold Laser Therapy
If you suffer from chronic pain, nagging injuries, arthritic joints, or nerve-related symptoms, you deserve a treatment approach that helps you feel and function better without invasive procedures or medication. At Arizona Chiropractic & Spine Rehabilitation, Dr. David Heaton offers cold laser therapy in Tucson, AZ as a powerful complement to chiropractic care, giving your body the extra support it needs to heal more completely and more quickly.
Also known as low-level laser therapy or photobiomodulation, cold laser therapy is one of the most effective tools we use to reduce pain, calm inflammation, and accelerate tissue repair for patients throughout the Tucson area.
What Is Cold Laser Therapy?
Cold laser therapy uses amplified light delivered in a precise, narrow beam to treat a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions. Unlike surgical lasers, cold lasers penetrate the skin without burning, cutting, or causing any tissue damage.
Once the laser reaches the underlying tissues, it triggers increased cellular production of ATP, the energy source your cells use to rebuild and regenerate themselves. At the same time, cold laser therapy increases circulation in the treated area, bringing more oxygen and healing nutrients to the cells while helping tissues clear out inflammation and unwanted fluid buildup. The result is a meaningful reduction in pain, swelling, and inflammation without a single side effect.
Conditions We Treat With Cold Laser Therapy
Cold laser therapy works exceptionally well on its own and alongside chiropractic adjustments for many of the same conditions we regularly treat at our Tucson clinic. Conditions that respond well to cold laser therapy include:
● Neck and lower back pain
● Tendinitis and bursitis
● Carpal tunnel syndrome
● Knee, foot, and joint pain including arthritis
● Fibromyalgia
● Nerve damage and chronic neurological symptoms
● Fractures and acute soft tissue injuries
Research has shown that patients suffering from spinal facet joint pain who received both chiropractic care and cold laser therapy experienced a greater degree of improvement than those who received only one treatment or none at all.
How Cold Laser Works With Chiropractic Care
Chiropractic adjustments restore proper spinal alignment and joint function, but the surrounding soft tissues often need additional support to fully heal. Cold laser therapy fills that gap by working at the cellular level to speed up tissue repair and reduce the inflammation that keeps pain lingering between visits.
Dr. Heaton incorporates cold laser therapy as a natural extension of your chiropractic care plan, not as a standalone add-on. When used together, the two treatments reinforce each other and consistently produce better outcomes than either approach alone.
What to Expect During a Session
Cold laser therapy is completely comfortable. Most patients describe the sensation as warm and soothing, and sessions are quick and straightforward. There is no pain, no recovery time, and nothing to prepare for beforehand.
Each session builds on the last, which is why Dr. Heaton typically recommends a series of treatments for the best results. Many patients notice meaningful relief after just the first few sessions, with continued improvement as the course of treatment progresses.
