Laser Therapy in Scottsdale
Harnessing the Power of Light for Enhanced Recovery and Pain Management
Complete Wellness Chiropractic uses Erchonia low level laser therapy, three FDA cleared units in our North Scottsdale office, GVL, EVRL, and XLR8, for adjunctive, temporary relief of minor chronic neck and shoulder pain of musculoskeletal origin. Laser therapy is used alongside chiropractic adjusting, not as a stand-alone treatment, and results vary by patient and by how long the pain has been present.
Our approach begins with understanding your symptoms and determining which services may be appropriate for your individual needs. When indicated, low level laser therapy can be incorporated into a broader chiropractic care plan designed around your examination findings, symptoms, and treatment goals.

What We Do
Complete Wellness Chiropractic provides personalized chiropractic care for patients experiencing musculoskeletal concerns. Rather than approaching every patient with the same treatment plan, we evaluate your symptoms, health history, and physical findings to determine an appropriate course of care.
For patients with minor chronic neck or shoulder pain laser therapy may be used as an adjunct to chiropractic adjusting.
Because laser therapy is an adjunctive service at our office, it does not replace your chiropractic evaluation or adjustments. Your chiropractor will determine whether it is appropriate to include laser therapy based on your individual presentation.
How Low-Level Laser Therapy Fits Into Chiropractic Care
Low level laser therapy uses specific wavelengths of light delivered to a targeted area. At Complete Wellness Chiropractic, its use is limited to the FDA-cleared indication for our Erchonia units: adjunctive, temporary relief of minor chronic neck and shoulder pain of musculoskeletal origin.
This distinction is important because not every type of pain or musculoskeletal condition is an appropriate reason to use laser therapy. Before recommending it, our team evaluates where your discomfort is occurring, how long it has been present, and other factors that may be contributing to your symptoms.
When laser therapy is appropriate, it is incorporated alongside chiropractic adjusting as part of your overall care plan. This allows us to maintain a focused approach based on your specific needs rather than treating laser therapy as a stand-alone service.
Laser Therapy for Minor Chronic Neck and Shoulder Pain
Chronic neck and shoulder discomfort can affect everyday activities, including working at a computer, driving, exercising, sleeping, and performing routine movements. Because similar symptoms can have different causes, an evaluation is an important first step before determining which type of care may be appropriate.
Our low level laser units are FDA cleared for adjunctive, temporary relief of minor chronic neck and shoulder pain of musculoskeletal origin. If your symptoms fall within this scope, your chiropractor can determine whether laser therapy may be appropriate to incorporate alongside chiropractic adjustments.
Results vary from patient to patient. Factors such as how long your pain has been present and your individual response to care can influence your experience with treatment.
What to Expect During Laser Therapy
If laser therapy is included in your care plan, our team will explain the process and how it fits alongside your chiropractic treatment. The Erchonia device is applied according to the appropriate treatment protocol, with the laser directed toward the treatment area.
Low level laser therapy is non-invasive and does not involve injections or surgical procedures. Because it is incorporated into a broader chiropractic treatment plan at Complete Wellness Chiropractic, your care may also include chiropractic adjustments and other services when clinically appropriate.
Your chiropractor can also reassess your symptoms over the course of care and determine whether changes to your treatment plan are appropriate.
A Personalized Approach to Neck and Shoulder Pain
Our goal is to understand your symptoms before recommending treatment. Neck and shoulder discomfort can differ considerably from one patient to another, and the appropriate approach depends on your individual circumstances.
During your evaluation, we consider your health history, symptoms, physical findings, and how your discomfort is affecting your daily activities. From there, we can develop a chiropractic care plan and determine whether adjunctive low level laser therapy falls within the appropriate scope for your needs.
This individualized approach also gives us an opportunity to monitor how you respond to care over time. Laser therapy results vary by patient and by how long the pain has been present, so recommendations are made based on your individual response rather than a predetermined outcome.

Yes, Laser Therapy is considered a safe, non-invasive procedure when performed by trained professionals. The therapy uses low-level laser energy that does not generate heat or damage tissues, making it a painless treatment option with minimal to no side effects. Most patients experience little to no discomfort during or after the procedure. However, it’s always recommended to consult with your healthcare provider to ensure that laser therapy is appropriate for your specific condition.
The number of laser therapy sessions required varies depending on the condition being treated, its severity, and the individual’s response to therapy. While some patients experience noticeable relief after just one session, others may require 6 to 12 treatments for optimal results. For chronic or long-term conditions, a full course of treatment may involve regular sessions over several weeks to promote sustained healing and pain relief. Your chiropractor or healthcare provider will recommend a treatment plan based on your specific needs.
Laser Therapy is generally painless, and most patients do not experience discomfort during the procedure. Some may feel a slight warming or tingling sensation as the laser is applied, but there is no pain. Unlike surgical treatments, laser therapy has no downtime, meaning you can return to your normal activities immediately after each session. Side effects are rare, but in some cases, patients may experience mild tenderness or temporary redness in the treated area, which typically resolves quickly.
Patients experiencing minor chronic neck or shoulder pain of musculoskeletal origin may be evaluated to determine whether adjunctive low level laser therapy is appropriate. Because every patient’s circumstances are different, your chiropractor will consider your symptoms, health history, and examination findings before recommending care. Results vary by patient and by how long the pain has been present.
