Cold Laser Therapy in Denver, CO —

Non-Invasive Healing and Inflammation Relief

When inflammation, tissue damage, or chronic pain slows you down, Cold Laser Therapy offers a fast, non-invasive way to accelerate healing and get back to peak performance.

At Buffalo Spine in Denver, CO, We use advanced cold laser technology to support your body’s natural repair process — helping athletes, active adults, and injury-recovery patients reduce pain, heal faster, and restore mobility without drugs or surgery.

What Is Cold Laser Therapy?

Also known as Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT), Cold Laser Therapy uses specific wavelengths of light (usually between 600 and 1000 nm) to penetrate the skin and stimulate tissue regeneration at the cellular level.

  • Increased ATP production

  • Reduced inflammation

  • Enhanced tissue repair

  • Pain modulation via nerve inhibition

635 nm – Red Light (Superficial Tissue Support)

Primary Benefits

-Stimulates cellular metabolism (ATP production)

-Enhances superficial blood flow and lymphatic circulation

-Supports skin, fascia, and superficial nerve endings

-Accelerates wound healing and tissue oxygenation

Common Uses

-Acute inflammation

-Superficial soft-tissue injuries

-Post-surgical skin healing

-Trigger points and cutaneous nerve irritation


810 nm – Near-Infrared (Muscle & Joint Recovery)

Primary Benefits

-Reduces inflammation at the muscular and joint level

-Improves local circulation and oxygen delivery

-Decreases muscle spasm and myofascial tightness

-Accelerates soft-tissue repair and recovery

Common Uses

-Muscle strains and sprains

-Cervical and lumbar spine pain

-Tendinitis and overuse injuries

-Post-exercise recovery


980 nm – Near-Infrared (Deep Tissue & Inflammatory Modulation)

Primary Benefits

-Penetrates deeper into joints and connective tissues

-Reduces inflammatory mediators

-Improves peripheral nerve pain modulation

-Enhances joint mobility and functional movement

Common Uses

-Joint inflammation

-Ligament and capsular injuries

-Disc-related pain patterns

-Chronic musculoskeletal pain


1064 nm – Near-Infrared (Deepest Penetration & Neural Support)

Primary Benefits

-Reaches deep musculature and neural structures

-Modulates nerve irritation and sensitivity

-Reduces chronic pain signaling

-Supports tissue regeneration in long-standing injuries

Common Uses

-Radiculopathy and nerve irritation

-Chronic neck and low back pain

-Post-traumatic injuries (including auto injuries)

-Deep spinal and pelvic structures


Why Multi-Wavelength Laser Therapy Matters

Using multiple wavelengths simultaneously allows treatment of:

-Superficial tissues

-Deep muscles and joints

-Neural and inflammatory pathways

-This layered therapeutic approach produces superior outcomes compared to single-wavelength systems by addressing pain, inflammation, circulation, and tissue healing at every level.

What Cold Laser Therapy Helps Treat

Cold Laser Therapy is ideal for treating acute injuries, chronic conditions, and soft tissue damage in a drug-free, pain-free way.

Tendonitis and bursitis

Ligament sprains

Muscle strains

Knee pain and osteoarthritis

Plantar fasciitis and heel pain

TMJ and jaw inflammation

Tennis elbow / Golfer's elbow

Rotator cuff injuries

Post-surgical recovery
Nerve root irritation and sciatica

How It Works

The laser emits photons that penetrate deep into tissue layers. These photons are absorbed by cellular photo-receptors, leading to:

Mitochondrial stimulation for increased ATP (cellular energy)

Nitric oxide release, enhancing circulation

Inflammation suppression at the chemical level

Pain pathway inhibition via modulation of nerve conduction

This cascade of biological responses shortens healing time and restores tissue function more efficiently than passive treatments.

What Makes Buffalo Spines Approach Different?

Integrated Expertise

Buffalo Spine combines Cold Laser Therapy with:

Functional movement assessments

Chiropractic care (as needed)

Manual therapy and rehab

This creates a complete recovery protocol tailored to your specific condition and lifestyle.

Quick Yet Powerful

Most sessions take just 10–15 minutes. Many patients feel improvement within the first few visits, especially when combined with strategic movement and recovery planning.

No rushed sessions or bouncing between techs. Every treatment is delivered personally by Dr. Mac.

What to Expect During a Session

Step 1

Evaluation

We begin with a complete movement and tissue assessment to identify the source of pain or dysfunction.

Step 2

Cold Laser Application

The laser is directed over the targeted area. You may feel a mild warmth or tingling, but no pain. Treatment takes 5–15 minutes depending on the area.

Step 3

Post-Treatment Movement

We may prescribe mobility drills, corrective movement, or soft tissue work to lock in the benefits and accelerate your progress.
