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.
First experience going to a chiropractor and won’t go anywhere else. I lift frequently and work outside and was having issues with mobility, especially my hip and shoulder, and after just a few sessions the sense of relief is incredible. Dr. Alex knows what she’s doing and got down to the root of the problem immediately and we began fixing it. Cannot recommend enough!
Dr. Alex is amazing! I have had an excellent experience with the care I have received there so far. She explains everything very clearly and really takes the time to listen to your personal needs. The decompression machine and adjustments have truly improved my mobility and pain in my back and hips. She is extremely accommodating to your schedule and makes getting an appointment very easy. I highly recommend MetaSpine for anyone looking for excellent chiropractic care!
Dr Alex Smith is the best! Her decompression table does wonders for my lower back. I stand taller, walk better and hadn't realized how much pain I had in my back until it was gone! Thanks Dr Alex! I continually recommend family and friends to MetaSpine.
I had the opportunity to visit during their free day and had a great experience!! The office was welcoming, professional, and helpful. It was clear they genuinely care about their patients!

Loved Dr.Alex. I am terrified of the chiropractor and she took great care of me. She also explained everything thoroughly and kept the energy fun! I would recommend her to any that’s nervous but wants to understand their underlying issues.

We LOVE Dr. Alex! Not only is she extremely welcoming every single visit, but she is intricate and precise in her work. We always leave feeling ten times more relaxed than when we walked in, and our sleep has improved significantly. Thank you, Dr. Alex, for your hard work and dedication to our communities care!
Highly recommend. I am feeling great & back to "Jackie!" After moving here last year I neglected to make finding a new chiropractor a priority. Of course, crisis struck & I needed help quickly. After calling several offices I immediately felt comfortable with Dr Smith's demeanor, willingness to answer my questions & scheduling availability. At my initial visit her care recommendations were the same as the care I received from my previous doctor. The "crisis" pain was relieved very quickly, and in just a few short weeks I am on the verge of returning to the maintenance care routine I've had for the last ten years. Thank you!
I genuinely don’t have words for how amazing Alex is! I took my 4 week old, who’s doctor had recommended starting physical therapy to correct and issue with his neck. In just one appointment she had my sweet baby boy turning his head in every direction, and this is the most relaxed he has been since birth! I cannot recommend Alex enough!
Dr. Smith was very kind and polite and listened well. She was not judgmental and offered really good advice when I shared my poor posture habits/lifestyle. Facility was very clean and welcoming. I would recommend Dr. Smith and Metaspine Chiropractic to anyone!
I joined for spinal decomp. The equipment is new, the treatment room is relaxing and restful.<br>My decompression experience is 100% perfect and my lower back is pain free!! I highly recommend Metaspine.

Absolutely recommend this practice to anybody looking for anybody more than just a chiropractor was going to lay you down and crack your back. Dr. Alex went over everything was, very thorough taking x-rays and setting me up with a very comprehensive care package. I went in there, struggling to walk after four back surgeries and I didn't even have to tell her I had titanium in my back.She knew what she was looking at on the x.Rays and made sure that around that area she was going to be very safe and very careful and take care of me. Highly recommended!

I came to MetaSpine at the beginning of 2025 with severe headaches that were affecting my daily life. After just a few sessions, my pain began to ease up — and today, my headaches are completely gone. I still see Dr. Alex regularly to maintain my health, and she recently helped me overcome excruciating neck and shoulder pain as well. I highly recommend MetaSpine to anyone looking for genuine, effective care!
From the moment I walked in, Dr. Alex was immediately accommodating and welcoming. Both professional and personable, and so so thorough!!

You’ll leave your appointments feeling better AND with lots of education about your spine. I can’t express enough how much I’d recommend this practice to others!! I hope this practice has continued longevity in this area :).
Dr. Alex is hands down one of the most thorough chiropractors I’ve worked with. She walked me through my X-rays in detail, helping me clearly understand what needed to be addressed and why. What stood out most was how she personalized everything around my lifestyle as a health, fitness, and strength coach, factoring in the demands of my training instead of giving a one size fits all plan. I left with a clear game plan, actionable steps, and genuine confidence that my spine health is in great hands. Highly recommend.
I walked into Dr Alex Smith’s office in sharp intense pain in my leg/thigh with difficulty walking. Dr Smith took the pain away!! I am very happy I found Dr. Smith!!
