How it works

What to expect with cold laser therapy

  2. Step 2

    Targeted light sessions

    A handheld device delivers the laser light directly over the affected area. Sessions are short, completely painless, and require no recovery time.

The basics

About cold laser therapy

Cold laser therapy (also called low-level laser therapy, or photobiomodulation) uses specific wavelengths of low-intensity light. Unlike surgical lasers, it produces no heat — the light passes into the tissue and is absorbed by the cells, where it helps boost the cell's energy production (ATP).

That extra cellular energy supports the body's own anti-inflammatory and repair processes: less swelling, less pain, and better conditions for irritated tissue to recover. Because it's gentle and non-invasive, cold laser pairs naturally with chiropractic care and rehab — easing the inflammation while we address the mechanics behind it.

Cold Laser Therapy at Eagle Trace Spine & Sport in Burnsville

What is cold laser therapy?

Cold laser therapy is a painless, non-invasive treatment that uses low-level light to calm inflammation and support healing. Because the light produces no heat (that’s the “cold” part), it’s completely comfortable — the energy is absorbed by your cells, where it helps fuel the body’s own repair and anti-inflammatory processes.

At Eagle Trace Spine & Sport in Burnsville, Dr. Jeff Plaster uses cold laser for the aches and injuries where inflammation is the real driver — irritated joints, soft-tissue injuries, and pain that’s been slow to settle.

What to expect

After confirming cold laser is a good fit, your clinician moves a small handheld device over the affected area. You won’t feel heat or discomfort — most patients feel nothing at all. Sessions are short, and there’s no downtime, so you can return to your day right away.

Because the therapy supports your body’s own healing, results build over a series of sessions. We pair it with chiropractic care and rehab so the calmed tissue recovers under healthy mechanics.

Cold Laser Therapy FAQ

Still have questions? Contact us — we're happy to help.

Does cold laser therapy hurt?+

No. Cold laser produces no heat and no sensation to speak of — most patients feel nothing more than the device resting against the skin. There's no downtime afterward.

How many sessions will I need?+

It depends on the condition. Many patients do a short series over a few weeks; more stubborn or chronic problems often respond best to a consistent course. Dr. Plaster will recommend a plan after evaluating you.

What conditions respond best to cold laser?+

Inflammation-driven and soft-tissue pain tends to respond best — irritated joints, tendon and muscle injuries, sprains and strains, arthritis flare-ups, and lingering neck or back pain.

Is cold laser therapy safe?+

Yes — it's non-invasive and well tolerated. We screen for the few contraindications during your exam, and your clinician confirms it's appropriate before starting.

“I’m a career firefighter and have suffered from a back injury from the job for the last 8 years. I was sent to a chiropractor years ago after reinjuring my back, initially I felt a little relief from my injury, but it never really went away and after 3 years of going to them I wasn’t getting better. I started to think I was going to spend the rest of my life with some degree of back pain. I stumbled across Dr Jeff at my daughters gymnastics class and we started talking about my injury. He invited me to his practice to see how he could help relive my pain. Within the first week I was feeling better than I had felt in 8 years since my initial back injury, week 2 was continued progress in reducing my pain to almost nothing. The truest test of his great work has been how good I’ve felt after shoveling and snow blowing after these last few storms. Dr Jeff’s multiple disciplines in chiropractic care and ability to customize your treatments to best suit your injury, coupled with his genuine care and concern are Amazing! When you tell him how your feeling from visit to visit he is listening and using your input to to maximize the output of your care. This is Good Ole Fashioned Service, his whole office has a great attitude and do their Best to work with you.”
