At Ultimate Health, laser therapy is used to support tissue healing and pain reduction—not as a standalone cure, but as part of a comprehensive, movement-based treatment plan.

When combined with rehab and manual care, laser therapy can help you recover more efficiently.
Non-Invasive Treatment to Reduce Pain, Accelerate Healing, and Support Recovery
What Is Laser Therapy?
Laser therapy—often called cold laser or low-level laser therapy (LLLT)—uses specific wavelengths of light to penetrate tissue and stimulate biological processes at the cellular level. It can help reduce pain and inflammation, improve blood flow to injured tissue, support tissue repair and healing, and decrease sensitivity in irritated areas. It's non-invasive, painless, and safe when used appropriately. We also offer high-powered Summus laser therapy.
How Laser Therapy Is Used at Ultimate Health
We don't apply laser therapy generically. It's used when tissue healing is delayed, pain or inflammation is limiting movement, rehab progress has plateaued, or a joint or tendon is too sensitive to load at first. Laser therapy helps create an environment where movement and exercise can be reintroduced sooner and more effectively.
Conditions Commonly Treated With Laser Therapy
Laser therapy is commonly used for tendon and ligament injuries, muscle strains and soft tissue injuries, joint pain and inflammation such as knee and shoulder pain, arthritis-related discomfort, sports injuries, post-surgical recovery, and chronic pain conditions including back pain. If laser therapy isn't appropriate or beneficial for your condition, we'll be honest and recommend a better option.
Laser Therapy as Part of a Complete Plan
Laser therapy works best when combined with physical therapy and rehab, chiropractic adjustments, dry needling, myofascial release, and movement retraining. Our goal isn't just pain relief—it's restoring function and building long-term resilience.
What to Expect During Laser Therapy
Treatment includes targeted application to the affected area, no discomfort or downtime, and sessions lasting just a few minutes per area, followed by active treatment when appropriate. Many patients notice gradual improvements over multiple sessions as healing accumulates.
Is Laser Therapy Safe?
Yes. Laser therapy is FDA-cleared for pain relief and tissue healing, non-invasive, drug-free, and safe when administered by trained professionals. At Ultimate Health, laser therapy is always delivered by licensed clinicians as part of a supervised care plan.
