At Graber Chiropractic Center, we believe in combining time-tested chiropractic care with innovative technology to help our patients achieve optimal health. One of the most effective modern tools we use is laser therapy, a treatment powered by a scientific process known as photobiomodulation (PBM).
 

What Is Laser Therapy?

Laser therapy, also known as low-level laser therapy (LLLT) or cold laser therapy, is a non-invasive treatment that uses focused light to stimulate healing in damaged tissues. Unlike surgical or cosmetic lasers that cut or burn tissue, therapeutic lasers emit low levels of light that penetrate the skin without causing heat or damage. This therapy is commonly used in chiropractic care to reduce inflammation, relieve pain, and accelerate tissue repair - offering a safe and effective solution for many musculoskeletal conditions.
 

The Science Behind Photobiomodulation

Photobiomodulation is the process that enables laser therapy to work. It involves the use of specific wavelengths of light, typically in the red or near infrared spectrum, to stimulate cellular activity. When the light penetrates the skin, it is absorbed by the mitochondria within your cells (the cell’s "powerhouse"), increasing the production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which is the energy molecule that supports cellular repair and regeneration.

In simpler terms, photobiomodulation energizes your body’s natural healing processes at the cellular level, helping tissues repair more efficiently and reducing inflammation and pain along the way.
 

What Conditions Can Laser Therapy Help Treat?

At Graber Chiropractic Center, we use laser therapy as part of a comprehensive care plan for a wide range of conditions, including:

• Chronic and acute pain

• Muscle strains and sprains

• Joint pain, including arthritis

• Tendinitis and bursitis

• Back and neck pain

• Sciatica

• Plantar fasciitis

• Sports injuries

• Post-surgical recovery

• Carpal tunnel syndrome

Because laser therapy is non-invasive and drug-free, it’s a great option for those seeking a natural path to pain relief and healing.
 

Key Benefits of Laser Therapy with Photobiomodulation

• Pain Reduction: PBM reduces inflammation and desensitizes nerves, leading to fast, long-lasting relief.

• Accelerated Tissue Repair: Enhanced ATP production means faster regeneration of damaged tissues.

• Improved Circulation: Laser therapy increases blood flow, which supports healing and reduces swelling.

• Non-Invasive and Painless: No needles, no incisions - just soothing light therapy.

• Safe for All Ages: Suitable for children, adults, and seniors with virtually no side effects.
