Introducing Theralase Cold Laser Therapy: A Game-Changer for Pain Relief in Ottawa

If you’ve been dealing with nagging pain, slow-healing injuries, or inflammation that just refuses to give up, there’s good news. We’ve added a powerful new tool to our clinic— “Cold Laser”…and we are one of just a few clinics that offers this type of cold laser therapy in Ottawa. It’s a proven, cutting-edge technology that can help your body heal, and reduce pain.

Truth be told, I bought the unit to help me recover from some of the injuries I sustain as a chiropractor.  Elbows, shoulders, wrists….ironic, I know. I had no intention of bringing it to the office as I don’t have a dedicated person to operate it.

Then Cheryl showed up.

Cheryl had advanced arthritis in her jaw that was so severe, she couldn’t eat. Over the last few months she lost more than 30lbs.  She also suffered from debilitating headaches.

I started to treat her TMJ (Jaw) with soft tissue techniques, gentle adjustments and laser.  After her first 3 sessions, she reported (eyes wide open with shock and awe) that she was able to eat her first full meal in months!  Fast forward 3 months and she had gained all her healthy weight back, was almost headache free and feeling hopeful again.

What is Cold Laser Therapy?

Cold laser therapy (also called low-level laser therapy or LLLT) is a non-invasive treatment that uses light energy to promote healing at the cellular level. Unlike surgical lasers, cold lasers don’t cut or burn. Instead, they penetrate deep into your tissues to stimulate cell regeneration, improve blood flow, and reduce inflammation—without any pain or downtime.

Why “Theralase”? What Makes It Special?

Not all lasers are created equal. The Theralase Class 3B laser is designed to penetrate deep into muscles, joints, and nerves, stimulating your body’s natural repair processes. Whether you’re struggling with chronic pain, recovering from an injury, or dealing with stubborn inflammation, Theralase cold laser therapy could be the missing piece in your recovery plan.

What Can Cold Laser Therapy Help With?

The list is long, but here are some of the most common conditions that respond well to laser therapy.

• Chronic pain (arthritis, fibromyalgia, back pain)
• Sports injuries (sprains, strains, tendonitis)
• Tennis/Golfer’s Elbow
• Neuropathy (nerve pain, diabetic neuropathy)
• Plantar fasciitis (heel pain relief)
• TMJ dysfunction (jaw pain, headaches)
• Migraines
• Bursitis
• Herniated Disc

What to Expect

Sessions are quick—usually about 6-15 minutes. You won’t feel much during the treatment (maybe a slight warmth), but the real magic happens in the hours and days afterward as your body ramps up its healing response. Many patients notice reduced pain and improved mobility after just a few sessions. Most conditions require 6-12 sessions.
