This treatment doesn’t involve incisions. Rather, it uses light to promote healing, reduce pain, and boost tissue regeneration. Unlike surgical lasers, this therapy doesn’t burn or destroy tissue. Rather, it delivers light to stimulate cellular repair to relieve pain and promote healing. It also reduces swelling.
The cells need to absorb the light energy to increase cellular activity and improve circulation in the affected area. Our patients in El Cajon, CA, notice reduced swelling, improved mobility, and gradual pain relief as their bodies start to heal. Because there’s no downtime, they don’t have to take a leave of absence from work or school.
Inflammation can arise when your muscles, ligaments, joints, and tendons are irritated. When there’s inflammation, it means that your body is healing. However, without treatment, it can delay your recovery time. The persistent pain can affect your quality of life.
Here at Caruso Family Chiropractic Clinic in El Cajon, CA, we provide cold laser therapy to treat the following conditions:
This approach helps your body recover quickly from either a long-standing irritation or recent injuries.

Chiropractors use cold laser therapy for a variety of reasons, including helping patients relieve pain, reducing inflammation, and regaining range of motion. This is a versatile, customized treatment that can be used alone or in conjunction with other chiropractic treatments.
Cold laser therapy must not be used over any suspicious cancerous lesions or carcinoma, over the thyroid, or on pregnant patients. The laser must not pass through your eyes, as the light can cause permanent eye damage.
Cold laser therapy is part of chiropractic care. Chiropractic treatments are all about natural healing. With the addition of cold laser therapy, you get the best of both treatments.
A typical cold laser therapy session is quick. The duration depends on the size of the area being treated and the specific condition. However, it usually lasts from a few minutes to 20 minutes.
Cold laser therapy may support nerve healing in cases of mild nerve irritation, as it stimulates cellular repair. Extensive nerve damage requires medical evaluation.

Our goal is not only to relieve your discomfort, but also to allow you to resume doing the things you love. We like to keep things simple, straightforward, and personalized, focusing on what's most important, your comfort and well-being.
