Advanced Healing with Medical LASER Therapy

How I Use the Erchonia EVL and ASA MLS LASERS to Support Faster Recovery and Better Neurological Function

As a neuro rehabilitation chiropractor, I work with people who want more than short term symptom relief. They want to understand the root cause of pain, balance problems, or neurological symptoms, and they want care that helps the body function better over time.


LASER therapy is one of the key tools I use to support this process. By integrating chiropractic care, functional neurology, and advanced LASER technology, I can support the nervous system, reduce inflammation, and accelerate healing in a way that is gentle, precise, and effective.

The Erchonia EVL LASER and the ASA MLS LASER are devices I use regularly because they consistently help people recover faster, move more freely, and experience deeper and longer lasting change.


What LASER Therapy Is and How It Works

LASER therapy, also known as photobiomodulation, uses specific wavelengths of light to stimulate cellular repair and improve energy production within tissues. This process helps reduce inflammation, supports nerve healing, and enhances circulation, making it a powerful addition to neurological and musculoskeletal care.

You may benefit from LASER therapy if you are looking for:

• Faster recovery from injury
• Reduced pain and inflammation
• Improved nerve function
• Better mobility and balance
• Support during concussion or neurological rehabilitation

LASER therapy is non invasive, painless, and suitable for all ages.


The Erchonia EVL LASER

Cold LASER for Inflammation, Pain Relief, and Neurological Support

The Erchonia EVL LASER is a low level cold LASER that uses red 635 nm and violet 405 nm wavelengths to stimulate healing without heat. It is FDA cleared for reducing chronic pain and is one of the most effective tools I use for neurological conditions.


How the EVL LASER Helps

• Reduces inflammation and calms irritated nerves
• Supports nerve regeneration and communication
• Enhances blood flow and tissue repair
• Assists recovery following concussion
• Reduces oxidative stress within cells
• Provides antimicrobial support through violet light


Conditions Commonly Supported with the EVL LASER

• Concussion and post concussion concerns
• Vestibular and balance difficulties
• Chronic neck and back pain
• Peripheral neuropathy
• Postural strain and muscle tension
• Soft tissue injuries

This is a gentle and precise therapy that helps the nervous system settle and recover.


The ASA MLS LASER

Deep Tissue LASER for Advanced Pain Relief and Tissue Repair

The ASA MLS LASER is a Class IV therapeutic LASER designed to reach deeper tissues and stimulate more robust cellular repair. It delivers pain relief while supporting tissue healing at the same time, making it well suited for long standing injuries or chronic inflammation.


Benefits of the MLS LASER

• Significant pain reduction
• Faster healing of muscles tendons and ligaments
• Reduced swelling and stiffness
• Improved mobility and function
• Short and comfortable treatment sessions


Conditions Commonly Supported with the MLS LASER

• Sports injuries and muscle tears
• Tendon irritation bursitis and plantar fasciitis
• Post surgical recovery
• Arthritis and joint degeneration
• Disc related pain and sciatica
• Chronic pain presentations

This LASER is particularly helpful for people who feel stuck in a slow or incomplete healing cycle.


Why I Combine LASER Therapy with Neuro Rehabilitation and Chiropractic Care

My focus is always on how the brain and nervous system coordinate movement, balance, and healing. LASER therapy integrates seamlessly into this approach because it prepares tissues for change and supports the nervous system during rehabilitation.

Using LASER therapy alongside chiropractic adjustments and neurological retraining helps to:

• Reduce inflammation in irritated tissues
• Make adjustments more comfortable and effective
• Improve proprioception and neural communication
• Support vestibular and balance systems
• Reduce post treatment soreness
• Enhance long term healing and stability

This integrated approach helps restore balance within the system and allows the body to heal more efficiently.



Who LASER Therapy May Be Suitable For

LASER therapy may be appropriate if you experience:

• Persistent or recurring pain
• Slow healing after injury or surgery
• Concussion related symptoms
• Balance or coordination difficulties
• Nerve irritation or neuropathy
• Muscle tightness or restricted movement
• Chronic inflammation

Your care plan is always individualised and guided by a comprehensive neurological and musculoskeletal assessment.


Book a Consultation

If you would like to explore whether LASER therapy is appropriate for your needs, or you are looking for a care approach that integrates hands on treatment with advanced neuro rehabilitation strategies, you can book a consultation to discuss your symptoms, goals, and recovery plan.

It is unsettling, particularly when your chest X-rays and lung function tests come back normal, but there is a clear explanation rooted in how your nervous system is regulating breathing itself.
