Soft Tissue Laser Therapy is an FDA-cleared modality that reduces inflammation, promotes healing, and ultimately results in pain reduction. Laser Therapy is effective in treating acute pain, chronic conditions, and post-op pain. It works by flooding the tissue with light photons of a specific wavelength, which research shows to energize cells resulting in increased circulation to the injured area.
Laser therapy treatment is safe, painless, and fast. Deep Tissue Laser Therapy treatments are administered in 5 to 10 minutes with most patients seeing results within 3 to 5 treatments.
Deep Tissue Laser Therapy utilizes your body’s own recuperative abilities by stimulating increased cellular activity, inducing a series of healing responses in the injured tissues. During treatment you will feel a soothing warmth that identifies the beginning of an 18-24 hour process of modulated cellular activity leading to decreased pain and inflammation and increased range of motion.

What will you feel during laser therapy?
Laser therapy treatment is safe, painless and fast. Patients feel a soothing warmth as laser energy gently penetrates the tissue and boosts your body’s own regeneration powers to relieve your pain. Deep Tissue Laser Therapy treatments are usually administered for 5 to 10 minutes depending on the body location. Results can be immediate but the most observed results are after 4 to 6 treatment sessions. The body continues to benefit from the effects of the therapy for 18-24 hours after treatment. During this time, modulated cellular activity leads to decreased pain and inflammation. Our class IV laser has a power output of 9 Watts! This is in comparison to class III lasers which operate at .5 Watts. This means that our laser is almost 20 times more powerful. We can accomplish in 6 minutes what the class III laser accomplishes in 120 minutes or 2 hours.
How do we incorporate deep tissue therapy into your physical therapy?
Clinically, the greatest effect of laser in the practice setting occurs in combination with either hands-on or instrument Chiropractic adjustments and other manual modalities such as massage, electrical muscle stimulation and neuromuscular re-education. It works synergistically with these procedures to augment the body’s own healing ability. The combination of these therapies allow us to get our patients better quicker with less residual discomfort and less formation of scar tissue! Deep tissue laser has even been show to reduce scar tissue formations from past injuries and surgical procedures.
Is Deep Tissue Laser Therapy right for you?
Deep Tissue Laser Therapy has become preferred by patients who have not responded to other interventions. Its ability to impact pain on a cellular level provides pain relief for not only simple conditions but chronic and complex conditions as well.
Is Deep Tissue Laser Therapy the Same as Cold Laser?
No, cold laser is not even in the same ball park as DTLT. There are many different types of laser apparatuses being used in Chiropractic clinics, medical clinics, physical therapy clinics and other healthcare clinics that are toted as being deep tissue laser. DTLT comes from a Class IV Medical Laser and is the only therapeutic laser that has the technology and ability to penetrate to the deeper tissues. All the other lasers barely penetrate through your layers of skin, some may get down a quarter of an inch but the LCT-1000 can penetrate up to three-quarters of an inch which is considerably deeper than other devices.

The Best Life Team is professional and personable. Though it was only my first visit, I feel better already. I’m looking forward to future visits. Thanks!
I don’t often take the time to write, but I just had to give a shoutout to the care team at Best Life Chiropractic! They have recently helped me through some difficult times with my back and neck. They’ve helped me get back to my “best life” and I truly value Dr Steve’s experience and care! And I love his office staff! They are always so caring and ready to answer my questions. Ashley greets me with such a positive energy every time I walk through their door. Everyone there makes me feel seen and heard. I’ve been to other chiropractic offices before, but never have I experienced this level of care. There were times I was unsure about the recommended treatments, but they have always taken the time to explain things and I’ve grown to trust them seeing the results. Getting back to a healthier version of myself…. being able to walk again without pain…that’s something I will never take for granted! Thank you all for taking such great care of me! You have all been such a blessing to my life! ❤️
The team at Best Life Chiropractic and Wellness Center are top of class.
With a nice and relaxing atmosphere and warm and friendly staff, I always feel well listened to and well taken care of every time.
I will always recommend Best Life to all my friends and family.
Extra shout out to Sam over at Plano!
She is the best!!
Thank you, Best Life!
I have been coming here for close to a year. My arms were hanging at different lengths. I came in and we found that my clavicle was slanted, I had tech neck and a lower back issue
I can happily say that Dr. Laura, Dr. Lisa and the whole office helped me get right. It only took a few adjustments to get my arms hanging the right way, my back has no problems doing lifts anymore and my neck feels much better.
The best part of the reoccurring treatment is they can continue to help existing issues or if something randomly comes up. One day I couldn't straighten my arm without pain...they told me come on in and they worked it out for me.
They do have a rotating group of interns and chiropractic students who do hands on work with patients but every single one has been great. I have worked multiple and I have been pleased with all of them. You can tell Dr. Laura makes sure she is bringing in talented individuals who care.
I couldn't be happier with my decision to come here.
