Cold Laser Therapy in Des Moines, IA

Laser Treatment

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.

Benefits of Cold Laser Therapy

Patients often notice improvement after just a few sessions. Some of the most common benefits include:

  • Faster healing of muscles, tendons, and ligaments

  • Decreased inflammation and swelling

  • Improved circulation and cellular function

  • Reduced joint and nerve pain

  • Enhanced tissue repair after injury or surgery

  • Increased mobility and range of motion


Whether you’re recovering from a sports injury, managing chronic pain, or looking for a natural healing boost, Cold Laser Therapy may be the solution you’ve been searching for.

Conditions Commonly Treated

Cold Laser Therapy is effective for a wide variety of acute and chronic conditions, including:

What to Expect During Treatment

Each session typically lasts between 5 and 15 minutes depending on the area being treated. The procedure is painless — most patients feel a gentle warmth or tingling as the light stimulates healing.
