Cold Laser Therapy: Gentle Healing with Light
At Stockheart, we believe in natural, non-invasive solutions that help your body heal on its own terms. Cold laser therapy, also known as low-level laser therapy (LLLT), is one of the gentle tools we use to reduce pain, decrease inflammation, and promote faster healing—without discomfort or downtime.

What is Cold Laser Therapy?
Cold laser therapy, or low-level laser therapy (LLLT), is a cutting-edge technology that harnesses the healing power of light to promote tissue repair, reduce inflammation, and ease pain. This non-invasive treatment is especially valuable for conditions where traditional methods may fall short, including fracture healing, migraine relief, and concussion recovery. By stimulating cellular regeneration at the molecular level, cold laser therapy supports the body’s natural ability to heal from within. The result? Less pain, less inflammation, and faster recovery—naturally.
How Does Cold Laser Therapy Work?
Cold laser therapy uses light at specific wavelengths (typically between 600 and 1000 nanometers) to penetrate the skin and reach the targeted tissues. Unlike high-intensity surgical lasers, cold lasers do not generate heat, making the procedure painless and safe. When the laser light reaches damaged or inflamed tissues, it interacts with the mitochondria—the powerhouse of the cell—to stimulate energy production (ATP). This boost in cellular energy promotes tissue repair, reduces inflammation, and accelerates healing.
Because it’s non-invasive, cold laser therapy is comfortable, safe, and has no side effects. It’s often used alongside other holistic treatments, like gentle chiropractic care, to enhance the body’s healing response.
Why We Use Cold Laser Therapy at Stockheart
Pain Relief Without Drugs
Cold laser therapy reduces pain by targeting the root cause—whether it’s inflammation, injury, or tissue damage. It’s a natural way to ease discomfort without the need for pain medications.
Reduces Inflammation
By promoting better circulation and cellular repair, cold laser therapy helps reduce swelling and inflammation, which are often the source of pain and stiffness.
Accelerates Healing
Cold laser therapy encourages faster tissue regeneration, helping wounds, injuries, fractures or strained muscles heal more quickly. This makes it a great option for both acute injuries and chronic conditions.
Non-Invasive and Painless
The treatment is completely painless. There’s no heat, no discomfort, and no downtime. You can go about your day immediately after a session.

What to Expect
At Stockheart, we tailor every cold laser session to your specific needs. During your session, a trained practitioner will apply the laser to the areas of concern. You’ll feel no heat or discomfort—just a gentle, soothing treatment that lasts about 5-10 minutes. Afterward, you may notice immediate improvements, and the effects continue as your body responds to the therapy over time.
