What Is Therapeutic Laser?:

Therapeutic laser, also called photobiomodulation therapy, uses specific wavelengths of light to safely penetrate tissue and stimulate cellular repair. Unlike more common modalities used in pain management or physical therapy to block pain, laser therapy promotes healing at the cellular level AND reduces pain and inflammation.
With more than 3,500 studies indexed in PubMed/NLM, therapeutic laser is one of the most extensively researched non-invasive treatment technologies available today.

Clinical-Grade vs. Consumer Devices
The LiteCure / LightForce LXi (40W) used at The Spine Worx delivers true focused, coherent light with raw power over 100× more powerful than most of the weak consumer devices [“red light” and LED units found online/Amazon], reaching deep muscles, joints, and nerves and achieving therapeutic dosing in minutes.

How It Works

  • Mitochondrial stimulation: increases cellular energy (ATP) for faster healing.

  • Nitric oxide (NO) release: relaxes blood vessels, improves circulation, and supports tissue repair.

  • Photobiomodulation signaling: balances cellular messengers to reduce inflammation and promote regeneration.

  • Nerve modulation: decreases pain signals and supports healthy nerve function.

  • Collagen & tissue repair: stimulates fibroblasts for stronger, faster structural healing.

  • Stem cell activation (safe & natural): research shows therapeutic laser can safely stimulate your body’s own stem cells, supporting regeneration without drugs, injections, or added biologics.

Common Uses & Conditions Treated

Therapeutic laser is effective for a wide range of musculoskeletal and nerve-related problems, including:

  • Arthritis & degenerative joint conditions reduces stiffness, inflammation, and pain

  • Low back, neck, & muscle pain both acute injuries and chronic discomfort

  • Tendon & ligament injuries rotator cuff strain, tennis elbow, plantar fasciitis

  • Nerve irritation & neuropathies sciatica, carpal tunnel, diabetic neuropathy

  • Sports & overuse injuries tendonitis, bursitis, repetitive strain

  • Post-surgical or trauma recovery speeds healing, reduces swelling, restores function

Benefits

  • Non-invasive & drug-free

  • Pain reliefoften immediate and cumulative

  • Accelerated healing through improved blood flow and tissue repair

  • Reduced inflammation at the cellular level

  • Addresses the cause, not just the symptoms
