The basics
About laser therapy
Laser therapy uses light wavelengths to reduce pain, swelling, and scarring. This treatment goes beyond the skin to target bones, cartilage, joints, tendons, muscles, and tissues without surgery. It's a gentle and versatile treatment that can help with many different symptoms and conditions.
Cold laser therapy — also called low-level laser therapy (LLLT) or photobiomodulation — uses amplified light delivered in a narrow beam. Unlike surgical lasers, cold lasers penetrate the skin without burning or cutting. The laser reaches into the underlying tissues in need of treatment, where it triggers increased cellular production of an energy source called ATP. Cells can then use this extra energy to rebuild and regenerate themselves. Cold laser therapy also increases circulation in the tissues receiving treatment, bringing more oxygen and other healing ingredients to the cells while helping tissues expel unwanted fluids and inflammatory byproducts. As a result, you experience a reduction in pain, swelling, and inflammation.

Need treatment for chronic pain in Laguna Niguel, CA?
Living with chronic pain — whether it’s knee pain, joint pain, back pain, or neck pain — can be very frustrating. At Divine Healing Chiropractic, we can help with advanced laser therapy. Inflammation is a major cause of pain and long-term issues. Laser therapy can reduce inflammation by sending soothing light waves through the skin to the joint, providing warmth, speeding up healing, and easing pain.
What is laser therapy like?
When you come to Divine Healing Chiropractic, we make your experience comfortable and smooth. If laser therapy is right for you, we will take you to a comfortable table or seat, expose the treatment area, and hold the laser device at a suitable distance from your skin. The light will then penetrate deeply to treat the area.
Patients often feel a soothing warmth and immediate pain relief. After your session, you may feel relaxed, alert, and energized. Cold laser therapy doesn’t cause any discomfort; the treatment itself usually feels warm and soothing.

How cold laser works with chiropractic care
Dr. Mousavi uses cold laser therapy as a sensible adjunct to chiropractic care. Many of the same conditions we treat through chiropractic adjustment also respond well to cold laser therapy. Research has shown that people with facet joint (spinal) pain who received both chiropractic care and cold laser therapy enjoyed a greater degree of improvement than patients who only received one or the other.

What is laser therapy used for in chiropractic care?+
We use it for soft-tissue injuries, joint inflammation, shoulder pain, plantar fasciitis, sprains and strains, and arthritic joints — conditions where reducing inflammation and speeding cellular repair leads to meaningful pain relief.
Does laser therapy hurt?+
No. Most patients feel nothing at all, or a gentle, comfortable warmth over the treatment area. There is no burning, stinging, or pain during or after the session.
How many laser therapy sessions will I need?+
A typical plan is 6–12 sessions, often 2–3 times a week. Many patients notice improvement within the first few visits. After your exam Dr. Mousavi will recommend a specific, time-bound plan with a clear endpoint.
What is the difference between Class IV and cold laser therapy?+
Class IV lasers deliver more power, which means the light penetrates deeper into tissue and each session is shorter. Cold (low-level) lasers use less power and are applied for longer. Both can be effective; Class IV is better suited for deeper joints and larger areas.
Is laser therapy safe?+
Yes. Therapeutic laser is non-invasive and drug-free. We perform an exam first to confirm you are a good candidate. Patients with certain conditions — such as active cancer over the treatment site or photosensitive medications — may not be candidates, which is why the exam matters.
Will my insurance cover laser therapy?+
Coverage varies by plan. We encourage you to share your insurance information before your first visit so we can verify benefits and give you an honest picture of out-of-pocket costs. Affordable self-pay options are available.
How quickly does laser therapy work?+
Some patients feel less pain and more mobility within the first one or two sessions. For chronic conditions, the cumulative effect builds over several visits. Completing the recommended plan gives the best long-term outcome.
Can laser therapy be combined with other treatments?+
Absolutely — and it's usually more effective that way. We commonly pair laser therapy with chiropractic adjustments, shockwave therapy, PEMF, or soft-tissue work to address the full picture of an injury or condition.
Is laser therapy the same as light therapy?+
They are related but different. Therapeutic laser uses a focused, coherent beam at a specific wavelength for deep, targeted penetration — that is the technology we use here. Light therapy refers to broader-spectrum LED panels aimed at surface-level tissue.
Do I need a referral to try laser therapy?+
No referral is needed. You can call or book online, and we will do a thorough exam at your first visit to confirm laser therapy is the right fit for your condition.
