Cold Laser Therapy in Yorba Linda, CA
At East Canyon Chiropractic in Yorba Linda, CA, we are proud to offer cold laser therapy — also known as low-level laser therapy (LLLT) or light therapy — as part of our comprehensive, evidence-based approach to chiropractic care. Cold laser therapy is a safe, non-invasive treatment that uses specific wavelengths of light to interact with injured or damaged tissue, helping to accelerate the body’s natural healing process and deliver meaningful relief from both acute and chronic conditions.
Cold laser therapy can be highly effective for patients suffering from a wide range of conditions, including inflammation, muscle spasms, joint pain, soft tissue injuries, and nerve-related discomfort. Whether you are recovering from an auto accident injury, managing a sports or work-related injury, or dealing with chronic pain that has not responded well to other treatments, cold laser therapy may be an important and highly beneficial addition to your care plan at East Canyon Chiropractic.
How Does Cold Laser Therapy Work?
During a cold laser therapy session at East Canyon Chiropractic, the laser device is placed directly over the area of pain or injury for a specific and carefully calculated period of time. The device emits non-thermal photons of light that pass through the dermis of the skin without generating heat, making the treatment entirely comfortable and pain-free. This light energy has the ability to penetrate two to five centimeters below the surface of the skin at 90mw and 830nm — reaching deep into the affected tissue where healing is needed most.
Once the light energy penetrates the skin and reaches the injured area, it is absorbed by light-sensitive elements within your cells. This cellular absorption of light energy enhances the cell’s ability to initiate and accelerate its natural repair processes, stimulating the increased production of new proteins that are essential for tissue regeneration and repair. The result is a faster normalization of damaged tissue, a significant reduction in pain, inflammation, and edema, and an overall decrease in total healing time.
Cold laser therapy works exceptionally well as a complementary treatment alongside other services we offer at East Canyon Chiropractic, including chiropractic spinal adjustments, massage therapy, therapeutic exercise, Cox Flexion-Distraction decompression, kinesio taping, and Solajet Drywave massage. Dr. Wilson will recommend cold laser therapy when clinically indicated as part of your personalized, whole-patient care plan.
Our team at East Canyon Chiropractic is committed to helping you get to the root of your problem as quickly and effectively as possible. We want you to feel completely informed and comfortable with every treatment option we recommend.

It is particularly effective for patients recovering from auto accident injuries, sports and work-related injuries, and conditions involving chronic inflammation and reduced tissue function.
How deep does cold laser therapy penetrate?
The cold laser therapy system used at East Canyon Chiropractic is capable of penetrating two to five centimeters below the surface of the skin at 90mw and 830nm. This depth of penetration allows the light energy to reach deep soft tissue, muscle, and joint structures where injury and inflammation are most commonly located, making it an effective treatment for a broad range of musculoskeletal conditions.
How many cold laser therapy sessions will I need?
The number of cold laser therapy sessions required varies depending on the nature and severity of your condition, how long you have been experiencing symptoms, and how your body responds to treatment.
