Cold Laser Therapy in Springfield, Ohio

No pain - No side effects - No downtime

Erchonia EVRL cold laser

At Harding Holistics, cold laser therapy has become one of the tools we use most often alongside chiropractic care. It's gentle, non-invasive, requires no medications or injections, and can be used to support the body's natural healing and recovery process.

We use Erchonia low-level lasers, including red, green, and violet wavelengths, to deliver specific frequencies of light to targeted areas of the body. Depending on your needs, we may use cold laser therapy to help with pain, inflammation, injuries, nerve irritation, joint and muscle problems, or recovery.

What we love most about cold laser therapy is how easily it fits into our whole-person approach. Sometimes we use laser therapy on its own. Other times we combine it with a chiropractic adjustment or other therapies to address both movement and the irritated or injured tissues involved.

Whether you're dealing with a recent injury, a problem that just won't seem to go away, or you're simply trying to get back to doing the things you love, we'll determine whether cold laser therapy makes sense for you.

Our goal is simple: decrease pain, support healing, restore function, and get you moving again.

Conditions Cold Laser Therapy Can Help

Service symptoms imageCold laser therapy can be used for a wide range of painful, inflammatory, musculoskeletal, and nerve-related conditions. At Harding Holistics, we use Erchonia low-level laser therapy both on its own and alongside chiropractic care to help reduce pain, support recovery, and get you moving and feeling better.

Some of the most common reasons we use cold laser therapy include:

Back & Neck Pain →

Cold laser therapy can be a great addition to chiropractic care when muscle, joint, or other soft-tissue irritation is contributing to back or neck pain.

Sciatica & Nerve Pain →

For patients experiencing sciatica, radiating discomfort, numbness, tingling, or other nerve-related symptoms, we may incorporate laser therapy as part of an individualized approach.

Shoulder, Knee & Joint Pain →

We frequently use cold laser therapy for painful or irritated joints, including the shoulders, knees, hips, elbows, wrists, and ankles.

Sports Injuries →

Sprains, strains, overuse injuries, and irritated muscles, tendons, and ligaments are some of our favorite applications for cold laser therapy—especially when the goal is getting you back to activity.

Plantar Fasciitis & Foot Pain →

Cold laser therapy may be helpful for stubborn heel and foot pain, including plantar fasciitis. Certain Erchonia low-level lasers have received FDA clearance specifically for chronic heel pain associated with plantar fasciitis.

Arthritis & Joint Stiffness →

For patients dealing with painful or stiff joints, laser therapy may be incorporated to help manage discomfort and support better movement.

Carpal Tunnel & Repetitive Strain →

We may use laser therapy for wrist, hand, elbow, and other repetitive-use problems—particularly when irritated soft tissues or nerves are involved.

Neuropathy & Nerve Irritation →

Cold laser therapy may be incorporated into care for certain types of nerve pain, tingling, burning, or altered sensation. Erchonia's EVRL platform also has FDA-cleared pain indications, and a related Erchonia device received clearance for temporary relief of diabetic peripheral neuropathy foot pain.

Headaches & TMJ/Tension →

When headaches or jaw discomfort have a musculoskeletal component, we may combine laser therapy with chiropractic care and other approaches based on what we find.

Post-Surgical & Injury Recovery →

Cold laser therapy may also be used as part of a broader recovery plan following certain injuries or procedures, when appropriate.

Not Sure If Cold Laser Is Right for You?

You don't need to figure that out before coming in. We'll evaluate what's going on and determine whether cold laser therapy, chiropractic care, a combination of the two, or another approach makes the most sense for you.

What to Expect During Cold Laser Therapy

Cold laser therapy is quick, comfortable, and completely non-invasive. There are no needles, medications, or downtime, and most people feel little to nothing while the laser is being used. At Harding Holistics, we personalize laser therapy based on what we're treating and what your body needs that day. Treatment itself may take only a few minutes, depending on the area and the condition being addressed. Cold laser therapy can be used as a standalone treatment, but we frequently combine it with chiropractic care. For example, we may adjust an area to improve movement and function and then use the laser to address pain, inflammation, irritated nerves, muscles, tendons, ligaments, or other surrounding tissues. How often you need laser therapy depends on the condition, how long it has been present, and how you respond to care. Some people notice changes quickly, while others benefit from a series of treatments. We'll monitor your progress and adjust our approach along the way. No downtime is required. Once we're finished, you can get right back to your day.

Benefits of Cold Laser Therapy

Cold laser therapy—also known as low-level laser therapy or photobiomodulation—uses specific wavelengths of light to influence cellular activity without heating or damaging the tissue. Rather than simply covering up symptoms, the goal is to support the body's natural processes involved in pain relief, recovery, and tissue repair.

Depending on the condition being treated, potential benefits of cold laser therapy may include:

Reduced Pain & Discomfort

One of the primary reasons we use cold laser therapy is to help decrease pain. It can be especially useful when combined with chiropractic care for painful muscles, joints, and other musculoskeletal problems.

Support for a Healthy Inflammatory Response

Laser therapy can influence biological processes involved in inflammation, making it a useful tool when irritated or injured tissues are contributing to pain and limited movement. Research on photobiomodulation has found beneficial effects for pain and inflammation in a number of conditions, although results vary by diagnosis and treatment protocol.

Improved Healing & Tissue Repair

Photobiomodulation interacts with cells and may influence cellular metabolism and repair processes. This is one reason we often use laser therapy with injuries involving muscles, tendons, ligaments, and other soft tissues.

Better Movement & Function

Pain and irritated tissues can change the way you move. By addressing both movement with chiropractic care and painful or injured tissues with cold laser therapy, our goal is to help you return to normal activity more comfortably.

Support for Nerve-Related Pain

We may also incorporate specific Erchonia lasers when nerve irritation, burning, tingling, or certain types of neuropathic pain are part of the picture. Erchonia's EVRL platform has FDA-cleared pain indications, including an EVRL-based device cleared in 2026 for temporary relief of pain associated with diabetic peripheral neuropathy of the feet.

Non-Invasive & Drug-Free

Cold laser therapy requires no needles, injections, or medications. The light is non-thermal, so there is no burning or heating of the tissue, and treatments generally require no downtime.

Why We Use Cold Laser at Harding Holistics

What we love about cold laser therapy is that it gives us another way to help the body without adding medications or invasive procedures.

Sometimes chiropractic care is exactly what you need. Other times, we find that combining an adjustment with cold laser therapy allows us to address both how the body is moving and the painful or irritated tissues involved.

Our goal isn't to use more treatment—it's to use the right combination of tools for the person in front of us.
