Chiropractic Cold Laser Therapy
in Lakewood, CO

Chiropractic cold laser therapy is a non-invasive, light-based treatment—often called Photobiomodulation—that essentially “recharges” your damaged cells to eliminate chronic pain and inflammation. At Comprehensive Chiropractic, we use this advanced technology to help your body heal from the inside out, providing a painless solution for those who want to stay active in the Lakewood community.

What Exactly is Chiropractic Cold Laser Therapy?

Despite the name, there is no actual “cold” sensation. As Roxanne explains, this is a low-intensity laser that uses variable wavelengths of light that do not heat the body’s tissues—hence the term “cold.”

When the handheld laser is applied to the skin, your damaged tissue cells absorb the light energy. This interaction stimulates intracellular metabolism, encouraging cells to begin the regeneration process and reduce inflammation. In simpler terms, it provides the “fuel” your cells need to repair themselves faster than they could on their own. This is a far cry from surgical lasers; it is a gentle, restorative tool aimed at non-invasive recovery.

Is This Treatment Right For You?

If you are a runner training at Sloan’s Lake or a hiker tackling the trails at Green Mountain, lingering soft-tissue injuries can sideline your season. Cold laser is exceptionally useful for helping to heal a variety of conditions, including:

The Top Benefits of Chiropractic Cold Laser Therapy

Accelerated Cellular Repair

The laser boosts ATP production (the energy currency of your cells). This increased energy allows damaged tissues to repair themselves with significantly less downtime.

Powerful Anti-Inflammatory

The light energy promotes lymphatic drainage and reduces swelling. This helps "flush" the injured area, making it a perfect companion to our complementary dry needling therapy.

Rapid Pain Relief

By desensitizing overactive nerves and prompting the release of the body's natural endorphins, laser therapy provides a drug-free way to manage acute or chronic pain.

Tissue & Nerve Regeneration

Beyond just surface-level relief, the laser encourages collagen growth and nerve repair. This cellular regeneration is a vital component of our specialized auto accident care, where long-term recovery depends on healing deep-tissue trauma sustained during a collision.

What to Expect During Your Session
in Lakewood, CO

We value your time, which is why our laser sessions are designed to be efficient and effective.

Targeted Assessment

We begin by locating the specific “trigger zones” or the epicenter of your injury to ensure the light reaches the tissues that need it most.

The Treatment Process

The doctor applies a handheld wand to the skin. You won’t feel heat or vibration—most patients feel nothing at all during the 5–15 minute application, though the cellular work is happening immediately.

Post-Session Recovery

There is absolutely no downtime. You can head straight from our office to your favorite outdoor activity, though we will provide guidance on “loading” the tissue as it heals.

How We’re Different

We don’t just “zap” the pain and send you on your way. At Comprehensive Chiropractic, we align the spine so the cellular healing from the laser actually has a stable, balanced structure to support it. Healing the muscle is only half the battle; ensuring the joint moves correctly is what prevents the injury from coming back.

Best Chiropractor experience I’ve ever had. All the staff is so friendly and helpful. The doctors really take the time to figure out the problem and make a treatment plan. He even gave me things to do at home to maintain the treatment I received in office.

The staff is incredibly kind and welcoming. Dr. Bradley is also very good at addressing the issues with your spine and coming up with an effective treatment plan. I also wanted to say that I continued to go here and they’ve helped me with multiple issues. I’ll come there as long as they let me.

I’ve been going to Comprehensive Chiropractic for years and I cannot recommend them enough! I have chronic back & neck issues and with their help I’ve been managing and keeping my sciatica and neck spasms at bay. Great local, family owned business to support! They also support our Veterans!

I was having serious back pain due to a sports related injury. I was having a hard time sleeping through the night, getting in and out of the car, and more generally speaking living my life. Simply put, I was in a ton of pain. Dr. Bradley was able to bring me back to where I was pre-injury and helped me continue to live an active lifestyle pain free. I cannot recommend this place enough.

My experience with Comprehensive Chiropractic has been wonderful in every way. From the front desk team member to my clinical care, I have felt valued, listened to, respected, and cared for. My needs are being met and my car accident pain has substantially subsided due to the gentle and cautious approach to the dry needling that I have received. Thank you for a wonderful experience!

This is a great practice, they were able to get me feeling better after my first visit. Over a month into treatment and my back is feeling better than it’s felt in years. Everyone is friendly and helpful, and I appreciate the laid back environment. Would definitely recommend this practice if you’ve been in need of chiropractic care.

Moving here from NM. I've enjoyed adjustments from Palmer grads and both Drs Roxy and Brad are very good. Both take the time to listen and take care of what is needed. Looking forward to more adjustments as we transition in our move. Both of us have needed our backs worked on and my wife has needed treatment that includes Dry Needling. I think it's helping! Thanks!

Dr. Knox really knows his stuff. I've been to a number of different chiropractors over the years, and I've never encountered one who is more on top of the latest techniques and technology like Dr. Knox is. I suffered a pretty nasty herniated disc in my lumbar spine 3 weeks ago that left me barely able to stand, let alone walk. With Dr. Knox's help I'm pretty much back to normal now, and he is continuing to help me get stronger. I can't recommend this place enough.

As Roxanne notes, the laser is most effective when used over multiple visits. Most patients see significant results within 4 to 6 sessions, depending on the chronicity of the injury.

 Yes. Cold laser therapy is FDA-cleared and has no known side effects when performed by a trained professional. It is a non-surgical, drug-free alternative.

Not at all. You may feel the handheld wand touching your skin, but the light itself is painless and non-thermal
