Advanced Support for Healing, Recovery, and Pain Reduction

What is laser therapy in Rancho Bernardo CA? Class IV Laser Therapy is a non-invasive treatment used to support the body’s natural healing process. By delivering focused light energy into injured or inflamed tissues, laser therapy helps improve circulation, reduce inflammation, and support cellular repair.

At Bernardo West Chiropractic, we use laser therapy as part of a comprehensive care approach designed to help patients heal more efficiently and return to movement with greater confidence.


How Laser Therapy Works in Rancho Bernardo CA

Laser therapy works through a process called photobiomodulation, where light energy interacts with cells to support mitochondrial activity and energy production (ATP). This process may help:

  • Calm inflammation
  • Increase blood flow to injured tissues
  • Support tissue repair
  • Reduce pain and stiffness

Laser therapy does not force change—it supports the body’s ability to heal when conditions are right.


When Laser Therapy Is Most Helpful

Laser therapy is commonly used for:

  • Acute and chronic back or neck pain
  • Muscle strains and ligament sprains
  • Tendon and joint irritation
  • Overuse injuries
  • Recovery from physical stress or athletic training

Laser therapy is often most effective when used consistently and in combination with chiropractic care, exercise, and healthy movement habits.


What to Expect During a Session

  • Sessions are quick, typically lasting 5–10 minutes
  • You may feel a gentle warming sensation during treatment
  • Treatments are comfortable and non-invasive
  • Most patients find laser therapy relaxing

Response varies from person to person. Some patients notice changes quickly, while others experience gradual improvement over a series of visits.


How Laser Fits Into Our Care Model

Laser therapy is not a standalone solution. It is a supportive tool we use when inflammation, tissue irritation, or delayed healing is limiting progress.

Our doctors may recommend laser therapy to:

  • Support recovery during active care
  • Improve tissue response to chiropractic adjustments
  • Help reduce flare-ups during training or daily life
  • Complement postural correction and rehabilitation programs
