Cold Laser Therapy in Granite City
Got a sprain, strain, whiplash, or sports injury that’s cramping family life? You’ll feel right at home here—think comfy chairs, bright colors, and friendly smiles. Our team at Shipley Chiropractic truly listens and explains everything in clear, plain English. Led by Dr. Laura Shipley, we pair a warm atmosphere with advanced tools to help you feel better fast.
How It Works and What to Expect
We use Class III and Class IV cold lasers for deep tissue support. The light energy stimulates cell metabolism, helping your body repair injuries more quickly and completely. In fact, this modality may accelerate healing by up to about 10 times compared to going it alone. One cycle takes about five minutes; most patients receive two to three cycles per visit during a quick 10-15 minute session.
We often pair laser with your chiropractic adjustment, and for more severe sprains, strains, or sports injuries, we may add simple laser-only visits during the week. Cold laser isn’t covered by insurance, and we review costs upfront.
Injuries and Conditions This Therapy Supports
Cold laser is a gentle, noninvasive way to calm inflammation and support healing. It’s commonly used for:
- Inflammation and swelling
- Sprain and strain injuries
- Whiplash injuries
- Sports injuries
- Tenderness and limited motion around an injured area
Realistic Timelines in a Family-Friendly Space
Relief varies from person to person: some feel better after the first session, while others experience improvement after two or three sessions. It depends on how old the injury is and whether it’s a repeat issue, but most people notice a change within a couple of visits.
Visits are quick and upbeat, and our team makes sure you leave with a clear, hopeful plan. We maintain care efficiency by combining therapies when beneficial and offering additional laser-only visits as needed.
