Cold Laser Therapy

Cold laser therapy—also known as low-level laser therapy (LLLT) or photobiomodulation—is a precise, non-invasive treatment that uses focused laser light to stimulate healing in targeted areas.

At Basic Balance Acupuncture in Keene, NH, we use cold laser therapy to reduce inflammation, improve tissue repair, and support recovery in stubborn or sensitive areas that are difficult to treat with needles alone.

Cold laser is especially well-suited for injuries, scar tissue, chronic pain patterns, and areas affected by surgery or implanted hardware.

How Cold Laser Therapy Works

Cold laser delivers concentrated light energy into injured or restricted tissue without heat or discomfort. This light penetrates deeply into muscles, joints, nerves, and connective tissue, stimulating cellular repair and improving circulation at the site of injury.

Cold laser therapy is shown to support:
• Reduced inflammation and swelling
• Improved blood flow and oxygen delivery
• Accelerated tissue repair and regeneration
• Reduced nerve irritation and sensitivity
• Improved mobility and pain reduction
• Faster recovery after injury or surgery

By improving cellular communication and energy production in damaged tissue, cold laser helps the body heal more efficiently—especially in areas that have stalled or become chronically inflamed.

Conditions We Support

Patients commonly use cold laser therapy for:

Trigger points and muscular knots
Surgical scars and adhesions
Areas with surgical hardware (plates, screws, joint replacements)
C-sections, orthopedic surgeries, and soft-tissue repairs
Restricted or painful scar tissue
Nerve irritation or sensitivity
Neuropathic pain
Areas that are too sensitive for needles
Injuries slow to heal or resistant to other therapies

Cold laser therapy pairs exceptionally well with acupuncture to address both local tissue damage and the broader systemic pattern.

What to Expect

Cold laser therapy is quiet, gentle, and comfortable. The laser is applied directly over the affected area, and most people feel little to no sensation during treatment—sometimes mild warmth or a subtle tingling.

Sessions are typically brief and may be performed before or after acupuncture, depending on your treatment plan. There is no downtime, and you can return to normal activities immediately.

Is Cold Laser Therapy Safe?

Yes. Cold laser therapy is non-invasive, drug-free, and well-tolerated by most people.

We will review your health history if you:
• Are pregnant
• Have active cancer in the treatment area
• Have light sensitivity disorders
• Have implanted electronic medical devices

Your safety and comfort always come first.
