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.
One-on-One 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.

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.
