Laser Therapy

At Schubbe Resch Chiropractic & Physical Therapy of Neenah, Wisconsin, we provide advanced treatments to help patients heal faster and experience lasting relief from pain. One of these treatments is laser therapy, a safe method that uses focused light to stimulate the body’s natural healing processes. Available in both our Neenah and Appleton offices, laser therapy is an excellent complement to chiropractic adjustments and physical therapy, helping patients recover from injuries and manage chronic conditions without the need for medication or invasive procedures.

How Laser Therapy Works

Laser therapy, known when used this way as low-level laser therapy (LLLT) or cold laser therapy, sends focused wavelengths of light through the skin to reach subdermal tissues. Unlike surgical lasers, this therapy does not cut or damage anything.

When cells absorb the light, a series of biological reactions is triggered. This process, called photobiomodulation, increases circulation, boosts cellular energy production, and reduces inflammation. As a result, tissues rebuild faster, swelling decreases, and pain is naturally reduced.

Conditions Treated with Laser Therapy

Laser therapy is versatile and can be used for both acute injuries and chronic conditions. At Schubbe Resch’s Neenah and Appleton offices, we may recommend laser therapy for:

Muscle or tendon strains and ligament sprains
Tendonosis
Joint pain related to arthritis
Carpal tunnel syndrome
Neck and back pain
Disc-related conditions
Post-surgical or post-injury healing support

By reducing swelling and promoting new blood vessel growth, laser therapy can be helpful for athletes, workers, and anyone else who needs to restore function quickly.

Benefits of Laser Therapy

Patients often notice improvement after just a few sessions, though the number of treatments needed will depend on their condition. Potential benefits include:

Reduced pain and inflammation
Faster tissue repair and cell growth
Improved circulation and mobility
Non-invasive, drug-free treatment with no downtime

Laser therapy can be used on its own or in combination with chiropractic adjustments, other physical modalities, or rehabilitative exercises to maximize results.

Class 4 Laser Therapy is a non-invasive, FDA-cleared treatment that uses high-powered laser light to reduce pain, decrease inflammation, and promote tissue healing. Unlike lower-level laser therapies, Class 4 lasers penetrate deeper into the body’s tissues, allowing for more effective and faster results.

This advanced therapeutic technique uses specific wavelengths of light (typically in the infrared spectrum) to stimulate cellular activity—a process known as photobiomodulation. It is widely used in physical therapy, sports medicine, chiropractic care, and rehabilitation.

Benefits of Class 4 Laser Therapy

Pain Relief- The laser energy reduces nerve sensitivity and stimulates the release of natural painkillers like endorphins, helping to relieve both acute and chronic pain

Reduced Inflammation- Laser therapy promotes vasodilation and activates the lymphatic system, which helps decrease swelling and inflammation in injured tissues.

Accelerated Healing- By enhancing cellular energy (ATP production), Class 4 laser therapy speeds up tissue repair and regeneration—ideal for post-surgical recovery, sports injuries, or repetitive strain conditions.

Improved Circulation- Increased blood flow delivers more oxygen and nutrients to damaged areas, supporting faster healing and reducing stiffness.

Non-Invasive & Drug-Free- Class 4 laser therapy is a safe alternative to pain medication and surgery, with no downtime and minimal to no side effects.
