At Oviedo Chiropractic, we’re always looking for effective, evidence-based ways to help our patients recover from pain and injury. That’s why we offer ReliefNow™ Laser Therapy, an advanced, non-invasive treatment designed to support your body’s natural healing process.

Whether you’re dealing with a recent injury, chronic joint pain, or lingering inflammation, laser therapy may be recommended as part of your personalized treatment plan. Every patient begins with a comprehensive evaluation so we can determine whether ReliefNow™ Laser Therapy is the right fit for their condition.

What Makes ReliefNow™ Laser Therapy Different?

Not all therapeutic laser treatments are the same.

ReliefNow™ combines advanced laser technology with a personalized approach to care. Using multiple wavelengths of therapeutic light, treatment can target tissues at different depths while being customized based on factors like tissue density, skin tone, hydration, and the area being treated.

Rather than using laser therapy on its own, we often incorporate it alongside chiropractic adjustments, therapeutic massage, spinal decompression, rehabilitation exercises, and other conservative treatments when appropriate. This integrated approach allows us to address both the source of your pain and your body’s natural healing process.

How Laser Therapy Works

ReliefNow™ Laser Therapy uses specific wavelengths of light to stimulate activity within your cells, a process known as photobiomodulation. This may support cellular regeneration and recovery by increasing cellular energy production and encouraging normal healing.

Laser therapy may help:

• Support tissue repair
• Reduce inflammation
• Improve local circulation
• Promote healthy cellular function
• Provide temporary pain relief

Because treatment is non-invasive, there are no incisions, injections, or downtime. Most patients describe the treatment as comfortable, with little more than a gentle warming sensation.

ReliefNow™ Laser Therapy is FDA-cleared and may be recommended for many musculoskeletal conditions as part of a comprehensive treatment plan.

What Conditions May Benefit from Laser Therapy?

Laser therapy may be appropriate for both acute and chronic musculoskeletal conditions, depending on your diagnosis.

Common conditions we treat include:

• Plantar fasciitis 
• Shoulder pain
• Rotator cuff injuries 
• Meniscus and other soft tissue injuries 
• Disc herniation
• Sciatica 
• Neck pain
• Back pain
• Arthritis
• Tendonitis
• Bursitis
• Muscle strains and ligament sprains
• Sports injuries
• Post-surgical inflammation and discomfort

During your evaluation, we’ll determine whether laser therapy is likely to benefit your condition or whether another conservative treatment approach may be more appropriate.

Acute vs. Chronic Conditions

One of the advantages of ReliefNow™ Laser Therapy is that it may be used for both recent injuries and long-standing conditions.

Patients with acute injuries often seek care to help support the body’s natural healing response while reducing inflammation. Patients with chronic conditions may also benefit, although older injuries frequently require more time because tissues have been irritated for a longer period.

Every treatment plan is based on your diagnosis, symptoms, and individual goals rather than how long you’ve been experiencing pain.

Who Is a Candidate for Laser Therapy?

Laser therapy may be recommended for patients experiencing pain or inflammation involving muscles, joints, tendons, ligaments, or nerves.

It is often a good option for patients looking for a non-invasive treatment that can be combined with chiropractic care, rehabilitation exercises, massage therapy, or spinal decompression.

Not every patient is a candidate. That’s why every treatment recommendation begins with a thorough examination. If laser therapy isn’t the best option for your condition, we’ll discuss other conservative treatments that may better support your recovery.

Combining Laser Therapy with Spinal Decompression

For certain spinal conditions, ReliefNow™ Laser Therapy may be combined with spinal decompression therapy.

Spinal decompression gently reduces pressure on spinal discs and nearby nerves, while laser therapy may help support healing and reduce inflammation within surrounding tissues. Together, these therapies may be recommended for conditions such as disc herniation, sciatica, and chronic low back pain when clinically appropriate.

Your provider will determine whether this combination is right for your condition after your evaluation.

What Results Can You Expect?

Healing looks different for every patient.

Some patients notice improvements after only a few treatments, while others require additional visits before experiencing meaningful changes. Older injuries often take longer to respond than newer injuries because healing is a gradual process.

As Dr. Justin Cough often explains, laser therapy is similar to planting a seed. You don’t water it once and expect it to grow overnight. Each treatment supports your body’s healing process, and recovery happens over time.

Throughout your care, we’ll monitor your progress and may periodically retest your condition to see how you’re responding and whether your treatment plan should be adjusted.
