Cold Laser Therapy in Des Moines, IA
Accelerate Healing and Reduce Pain Naturally
Cold Laser Therapy, also known as Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT), is a non-invasive treatment that helps reduce inflammation, relieve pain, and stimulate tissue repair at the cellular level. At Sexton Chiropractic & Wellness, we use state-of-the-art laser technology to help your body heal faster — without drugs or surgery.
What Is Cold Laser Therapy?
Cold Laser Therapy uses specific wavelengths of light to penetrate deep into your tissues. Unlike surgical or “hot” lasers, this therapy doesn’t cut or burn — instead, it energizes your cells, enhancing their ability to repair and regenerate.
The laser light interacts with your mitochondria (your cells’ power source), increasing ATP (energy) production and improving circulation in the treated area.
