Cold Laser Therapy in Novato, CA
Non-Invasive Pain Relief That Supports Healing at the Source
Cold Laser Therapy uses focused light energy to help reduce inflammation, ease pain, and support tissue repair without injections, medications, or downtime.
At DeSalvo Chiropractic in Novato, CA, Cold Laser Therapy is often used alongside chiropractic care and other therapies to help patients heal more efficiently and return to normal activity faster.
What Is Cold Laser Therapy?
Cold Laser Therapy, also called Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) or photobiomodulation, uses specific wavelengths of light to stimulate cellular repair and healing.
Unlike surgical lasers, cold lasers do not cut tissue or create heat. Treatment is gentle, painless, and designed to encourage the body’s natural recovery processes.
The light penetrates the skin and is absorbed by cells, where it may help improve energy production, circulation, and tissue regeneration.
How Cold Laser Therapy Works
Healthy cells need energy to repair damage and function efficiently. Cold Laser Therapy delivers light energy that cells can absorb and use.
This process may help:
- improve cellular energy production (ATP)
- reduce inflammation
- support damaged tissue repair
- improve circulation
- calm irritated nerves
- decrease pain sensitivity
- speed recovery after injury
Many patients feel little to no sensation during treatment, making it an easy option for sensitive or painful areas.
