Cold Laser Therapy, also known as low-level laser therapy, is a non-surgical treatment in which non-thermal light photons are applied, passing through the skin layers to the tissue of the affected area to treat and accelerate the healing process. The procedure helps with relief from pain, inflammation, and muscle spasms, and it improves the range of movement.
Since cold laser therapy stimulates the cells, it can help with many conditions such as arthritis, tendonitis, carpal tunnel, back, neck, and joint pain as well as fibromyalgia.
Cold Laser Therapy is a safe procedure that requires no medications or incisions. There are no major side effects, pain, or recovery time. At Southside Chiropractic & Car Accident Injury Clinic, we use a high-powered 30-watt class IV laser that is much more effective than the low-watt lasers that other practices here in Jacksonville use.

Patients can feel an immediate change in symptoms and may experience slight warming sensation for a small amount of time after treatment.
Depending on your condition, most patients are able to resume normal daily activity after leaving the clinic. At times, however, it is suggested that the patient take some time to allow for the tissues to heal properly if the injury is new and acute. If the condition is a chronic condition, most patients can resume normal daily activity.
Laser therapy may not be covered by insurance plans. If insurance does not cover the cost of treatments, there are affordable payment plans available. Check with your insurance company to see if laser therapy is covered under your plan.
