Laser Treatment for Back Pain – Now In Denver
Laser treatment for back pain can be a very effective, conservative treatment for lower back pain, lumbar arthritis, or even disc related sciatica.
Muscles, ligaments, joints, nerves, tendons, discs… there a lot of different tissues and anatomical structures that can contribute to pain.
Many patients are turning to high-powered Class IV Laser Treatment for back pain relief.
Laser Treatment for Back Pain – Goals
The is to deliver light energy units from infrared laser radiation, called photons, to damaged cells. The consensus of experts is that photons absorbed by the cells through laser therapy stimulate the mitochondria to accelerate production of ATP. This biochemical increase in cell energy is used to transform live cells from a state of illness to a stable, healthy state.
Therapeutic Laser Biological Effects
- Rapid Cell Growth — After injuries, tissue needs to repair. Laser light accelerates cellular reproduction and growth.
- Faster Wound Healing — The quality of tissue healing after a back injury will, in part, determine how much chronic pain have to be dealt with later. Laser treatment for back pain can stimulate fibroblasts and accelerates collagen synthesis in damaged and injured tissue.
- Increased Metabolic Activity — Laser therapy leads to higher outputs of healthy enzymes and more oxygen and for blood cells. It also stimulates the ‘powerhouse’ energy source of the cells; Adenosine Tri-Phosphate or (ATP).
- Reduced Fibrous Tissue Formation — High powered Class IV Laser therapy reduces the formation of scar tissue.
- Anti-Inflammatory Action — Nearly all pain is accompanied by inflammation. Laser treatment for back pain can reduce swelling caused by inflammation of joints to give improved joint mobility.
- Increased Vascular Activity — Laser light induces temporary vasodilation (increasing blood flow) to damaged and injured areas. Laser treatment for back pain can flood the cells with blood and nutrients. This can be especially effective in chronic conditions of lower back pain.
- Stimulated Nerve Function — Slow recovery of nerve function in damaged tissue can result in numbing and/or tingling in the extremities. Laser light speeds the process of nerve cell reconnection to bring the numb areas back to life.
Laser Treatment for Back Pain as a Conservative Treatment
Class IV laser treatment with the K-laser can be a smart choice for a variety of lower back pain conditions for the mere fact that it is cost effective and conservative. Unlike higher risk procedures such as back surgery, laser treatment for back pain performed appropriately on non-precluded conditions is extremely safe and has no documented side effects.
What’s nice about laser therapy with the K-laser is that it is not only great for pain control and pain management, but it heals the injury.
Laser treatment for back pain is gaining popularity as back pain continues to be a ubiquitous affliction.

Deep Tissue Laser Therapy is an amazing stand alone treatment for back pain…especially chronic conditions such as arthritis, disc degeneration, and herniated and bulging discs.

The laser treatment for back pain has been very successful. I have a Class IV K-Laser, it penetrates as deep as any therapeutic laser in the world. I use it for treating the soft-tissue aspects of chronic back pain, sciatica, and carpal tunnel syndrome. The radiation is similar to the sun, so I have myself and the patients wear protective glasses, other than that, one of the lowest risk biggest return treatments for pain that I have available.
