Soft Tissue Laser Therapy is an FDA-cleared modality that reduces inflammation, promotes healing, and ultimately results in pain reduction. Laser Therapy is effective in treating acute pain, chronic conditions, and post-op pain. It works by flooding the tissue with light photons of a specific wavelength, which research shows to energize cells resulting in increased circulation to the injured area.
Laser therapy treatment is safe, painless, and fast. Deep Tissue Laser Therapy treatments are administered in 5 to 10 minutes with most patients seeing results within 3 to 5 treatments.
Deep Tissue Laser Therapy utilizes your body’s own recuperative abilities by stimulating increased cellular activity, inducing a series of healing responses in the injured tissues. During treatment you will feel a soothing warmth that identifies the beginning of an 18-24 hour process of modulated cellular activity leading to decreased pain and inflammation and increased range of motion.

What will you feel during laser therapy?
Laser therapy treatment is safe, painless and fast. Patients feel a soothing warmth as laser energy gently penetrates the tissue and boosts your body’s own regeneration powers to relieve your pain. Deep Tissue Laser Therapy treatments are usually administered for 5 to 10 minutes depending on the body location. Results can be immediate but the most observed results are after 4 to 6 treatment sessions. The body continues to benefit from the effects of the therapy for 18-24 hours after treatment. During this time, modulated cellular activity leads to decreased pain and inflammation. Our class IV laser has a power output of 9 Watts! This is in comparison to class III lasers which operate at .5 Watts. This means that our laser is almost 20 times more powerful. We can accomplish in 6 minutes what the class III laser accomplishes in 120 minutes or 2 hours.
How do we incorporate deep tissue therapy into your physical therapy?
Clinically, the greatest effect of laser in the practice setting occurs in combination with either hands-on or instrument Chiropractic adjustments and other manual modalities such as massage, electrical muscle stimulation and neuromuscular re-education. It works synergistically with these procedures to augment the body’s own healing ability. The combination of these therapies allow us to get our patients better quicker with less residual discomfort and less formation of scar tissue! Deep tissue laser has even been show to reduce scar tissue formations from past injuries and surgical procedures.
Is Deep Tissue Laser Therapy right for you?
Deep Tissue Laser Therapy has become preferred by patients who have not responded to other interventions. Its ability to impact pain on a cellular level provides pain relief for not only simple conditions but chronic and complex conditions as well.
Is Deep Tissue Laser Therapy the Same as Cold Laser?
No, cold laser is not even in the same ball park as DTLT. There are many different types of laser apparatuses being used in Chiropractic clinics, medical clinics, physical therapy clinics and other healthcare clinics that are toted as being deep tissue laser. DTLT comes from a Class IV Medical Laser and is the only therapeutic laser that has the technology and ability to penetrate to the deeper tissues. All the other lasers barely penetrate through your layers of skin, some may get down a quarter of an inch but the LCT-1000 can penetrate up to three-quarters of an inch which is considerably deeper than other devices.
I have been seeing Dr. Austin for 2 years now. Not only is he simply amazing at what he does, he does it with such a friendly, caring bedside manner. I cannot put into words how thankful I am for him, the services he offers and his amazing team!
I used to suffer from chronic bilateral numbness and tingling, in my arms, 90% of the day; all day, every day. Now, I rarely have issues; when I do, Austin works me in ASAP to correct the problem.
I have suffered from migraines my entire life; until I began regularly seeing Austin, they were so severe I had to give myself injections at home. Now, I hardly ever get them. When I do feel one coming on, I get right in for dry needling, it makes all the difference. I haven't had a migraine shot in 20 months!
I also have 2 student athletes who see him as well. As the parent, of an injured kiddo, if it's at all possible, there's nothing you want more that non operative options. My son (now playing baseball in college) suffered a tear in his rotator cuff his Jr. year of high school; after 6 weeks of soft wave therapy from Dr. Austin, the Sports Medicine/Orthopedic surgeon, cleared him to start pitching.
Dr. Austin spends the time needed to figure out the source of your pain/issue and set's up a treatment plan, utilizing the different therapies he offers.
Don't let the thought of cost talk you out of contacting him. They accept insurance, when insurance allows. They also have discounts and packages; they may even do a payment plan, if that's the only thing stopping you.
Dr. Austin truly cares about helping you heal.
The staff was amazing very welcoming and listen to your needs the front desk employee Raquel was phenomenal. I would recommend this place to anybody that needs help with wherever you’re having pain because they definitely know what they’re doing and they talk you through what they will be doing how they’re gonna be doing it and when it is done, they keep you engaged with your session.
I've been in the care of Dr. Clarke and his team for nearly three years as of this writing, and every experience is fantastic. Welcoming and friendly reception staff, knowledgeable doc, competitive pricing, and I always leave feeling better, physically and mentally.
Highly recommended, from adjustments, to dry needling, traction, and more. My aching, aging body always appreciates a visit to Colorado Injury & Wellness.
Your chiropractor isn’t even close to how good Dr. Clarke and his team are. I went in with a bulging disc between my L5 and S1 vertebrae and after 3 visits it is noticeably, no no no, insanely better. Decompression, softwave, and manipulation therapy is all used here but only if it’s necessary to treat what you have going on. If you need routine maintenance, you can do that here. If you have nerve damage and no one seems to be able to help, I bet they can with the software. If you have herniated discs or bulging discs or just need decompression work in general I know they can handle that here. Highly recommend to everyone!
I can’t recommend this chiropractic office enough! Since starting treatment, I’ve noticed a huge improvement in my overall health and quality of life. Before coming here, standing and walking for long periods was a constant struggle because of my back pain. Thanks to their personalized treatment plan, I’m finally getting my mobility back.
The combination of spinal decompression, SoftWave therapy, and chiropractic adjustments has made an incredible difference. My pain has decreased significantly, I’m standing straighter, walking with much less discomfort, and I feel stronger overall. Dr. Austin Clarke and his staff members Raquel, Kenia, and Emery genuinely care about their patients and takes the time to explain every step of the process and make sure you’re comfortable during your time there. I wish I came here sooner!!!
Dr. Austin is very personable and is great at explaining what is going on with your anatomy. His regular adjustments keep me balanced and in good health. He is a good listener and can adjust the treatments to meet your needs.
I am so grateful for the exceptional care which has been given by Dr.Austin and each of his staff. The Softwave treatment has made such a huge difference in my ability to function daily. The first 24 hours after my initial treatment, I felt tremendous relief from the intense pain I had been dealing with in my knee. I noticed the pain from inflamation was reduced significantly within the first 2 hours of the initial treatment. I now have more energy to do the things I haven't been able to do in quite awhile. Dr. Austin takes the time to answer any questions which really helped me to feel at ease. He is genuine and very personable. He also has a heart for wanting to help his patients, along with his caring staff who assist with smiles all day long. Thank you for helping to make my days feel lighter and much easier to manage.
I went in sore, lacking energy. After a couple quick adjustments I felt ready to deal with the continued craziness of my day. Dr Austin is a miracle worker!
