Cold Laser Therapy in Gastonia, NC

Safe, Non-Invasive Healing for Pain, Inflammation & Recovery

At Southeast Family Chiropractic in Gastonia, NC, we offer Cold Laser Therapy (also known as Low-Level Laser Therapy or Photobiomodulation) to help patients heal faster and feel better — naturally.


If you struggle with chronic pain, inflammation, arthritis, or nerve discomfort, this advanced therapy can reduce symptoms and accelerate recovery without surgery or medication.

Understanding Cold Laser Therapy

Cold Laser Therapy uses low-level light energy to penetrate the skin and reach targeted tissues without heat or damage. Unlike surgical lasers, this gentle treatment stimulates your cells at the molecular level — activating their natural healing response.


The laser energy triggers an increase in ATP (adenosine triphosphate), the body’s cellular fuel source. This extra energy helps cells repair tissue damage, reduce inflammation, and restore function.

How It Helps You Heal:

  • Stimulates tissue regeneration and repair
  • Increases circulation and oxygen flow
  • Reduces pain, swelling, and inflammation
  • Speeds up recovery from injury or strain
  • Enhances overall cellular function

Patients often describe the sensation as warm and relaxing — and many experience immediate relief after their first few sessions.

How Cold Laser Complements Chiropractic Care

At Southeast Family Chiropractic, we often pair Cold Laser Therapy with chiropractic adjustments for optimal healing results. Both treatments work synergistically to reduce pain, promote alignment, and improve mobility.

Cold Laser Therapy enhances the benefits of chiropractic care by:

  • Reducing inflammation that limits joint mobility
  • Relaxing tight muscles before an adjustment
  • Improving post-treatment recovery
  • Supporting long-term tissue repair

Common Conditions Treated:

  • Neck and back pain
  • Tendinitis and bursitis
  • Carpal tunnel syndrome
  • Fibromyalgia and chronic muscle pain
  • Arthritis and joint stiffness
  • Nerve pain or neuropathy
  • Sports injuries or sprains
  • Post-surgical recovery

Research shows that patients receiving both chiropractic adjustments and laser therapy experience greater improvement than those receiving only one treatment — a testament to the power of this combination.

What to Expect During Treatment

Cold Laser Therapy is quick, gentle, and non-invasive. During your session, your chiropractor will apply the handheld laser directly over the affected area for several minutes. You’ll feel a mild warmth as light energy penetrates the tissues — but no pain or discomfort.

Treatment Details:

  • Typical sessions last 5–15 minutes
  • Most patients complete a short series of sessions for best results
  • You can resume normal activities immediately afterward
  • Relief often begins within the first few treatments

Over time, regular treatments can help restore function, ease chronic inflammation, and improve your overall quality of life.
