The Science of Photobiomodulation
How Laser Therapy Works
Our advanced LightForce laser delivers specific wavelengths of light energy that penetrate deep into damaged tissues, stimulating cellular activity at the source of pain and injury:
- Reduces Inflammation by decreasing inflammatory mediators
- Increases Blood Flow to damaged areas, delivering vital nutrients and oxygen
- Provides Pain Relief by modulating pain signals
The result is faster healing, reduced pain, and improved function—without all the side effects.

Some Conditions We Treat With Laser Therapy
Back and Neck Pain
Whether from disc issues, muscle strains, or joint dysfunction, our laser therapy effectively reduces inflammation and accelerates healing in spine-related conditions.
Joint Pain and Arthritis
Laser therapy helps reduce inflammation and pain in arthritic joints while promoting repair of damaged cartilage, improving both comfort and function.
Soft Tissue Injuries
Sprains, strains, and tears in muscles, tendons, and ligaments respond particularly well to laser therapy's ability to stimulate collagen production and improve tissue strength.
Sports Injuries
Athletes in Ankeny benefit from faster recovery times for injuries like tennis elbow, golfer's elbow, runner's knee, Achilles tendonitis, and plantar fasciitis.
Nerve Pain
Conditions like sciatica and carpal tunnel syndrome often experience significant relief as laser therapy reduces inflammation around compressed nerves.
Post-Surgical Recovery
Laser therapy can significantly accelerate healing after surgery, reducing pain and improving outcomes when used as part of a comprehensive recovery plan.
Chiropractic & Laser Therapy
For many conditions, the combination of chiropractic adjustments and laser therapy creates significantly better outcomes than either treatment alone:
- Chiropractic care restores proper joint mechanics and function
- Laser therapy supports tissue healing, relieves pain, and reduces inflammation
Together, they address both structural issues and cellular healing simultaneously.
This complementary approach often results in:
- Faster relief from pain and discomfort
- More complete healing of damaged tissues
- Better long-term outcomes with reduced recurrence
- Improved overall function and mobility
