Laser Therapy

A non-invasive, pain-free treatment that accelerates healing and reduces inflammation at the cellular level.

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 specific wavelengths of light to stimulate tissue repair, reduce pain, and speed up recovery. It’s a powerful option for treating both acute injuries and chronic pain without drugs, injections, or downtime.

What Can It Help With?

Laser therapy is effective for treating:

Muscle strains and joint sprains
Chronic inflammation and arthritis
Neck, back, and shoulder pain
Tendonitis and overuse injuries
Nerve-related pain or neuropathy
Post-surgical healing support
Soft tissue injuries and swelling

WHY IT MATTERS

When your body is injured or inflamed, the natural healing process kicks in—but sometimes, it needs a little extra help. That’s where laser therapy comes in. By delivering specific wavelengths of red and near-infrared light directly into the tissue, this treatment stimulates the mitochondria (the “energy centers” of your cells) to produce more ATP—your body’s cellular fuel.

More ATP means faster regeneration, improved circulation, reduced inflammation, and accelerated healing.

At Function Performance, we use laser therapy as part of a holistic treatment strategy. Whether you’re recovering from an injury, managing chronic pain, or looking to get back to activity faster, laser therapy offers a safe, effective, and non-invasive solution that can help your body heal more efficiently.

Unlike other treatments that mask symptoms, laser therapy supports your body’s own healing processes. The effects are both immediate and cumulative—many clients feel relief after their first session, with improvements continuing to build over time. And because the treatment is painless, there’s no risk of irritation or downtime.

Laser therapy is also incredibly versatile. It can be used on small or large areas, with precise targeting for localized pain or broad application for generalized inflammation. It’s especially useful for hard-to-treat areas like joints, tendons, and deeper muscle tissues that aren’t always reached by manual therapies alone.

We often pair laser therapy with other services like chiropractic adjustments, corrective exercises, or rehab, making it a key part of our integrated care model. Whether you’re dealing with a nagging injury, recovering from surgery, or simply looking to reduce pain and inflammation without medication, laser therapy could be the missing piece in your recovery journey.

Deep Tissue Laser Therapy

Scientifically proven to reduce pain and inflammation. Laser Therapy generates photochemical response in damaged tissue by a process called photobiomodulation. This process stimulates healing by increasing the microcirculation and oxygen delivery to the injured cells.

Treatments are Safe, Painless, and Fast. Laser Therapy allows for deep tissue penetration with a non invasive method.

Proven to help with:

Sports Injuries
Strains and Sprains
Chronic Pains of Arthritis
Headaches
Plantar Fasciitis and Much More.
