Erchonia Low-Level Laser Therapy in Bellingham
Advanced Health Center is excited to now offer Erchonia Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT)—a noninvasive, science-backed approach that helps your body heal naturally and recover more quickly. Whether you’re dealing with chronic pain, a nagging injury, or stubborn scar tissue, LLLT might just be the missing piece of your recovery puzzle.
What Is Low-Level Laser Therapy?
Used worldwide for over 50 years, LLLT supports healing in muscles, skin, and nerves—and may even help with some chronic conditions. It’s safe, painless, and backed by science.
In fact, Erchonia became the first U.S. company to receive FDA clearance for Low-Level Laser Therapy in 2002 after a clinical study showed remarkable results in treating neck and shoulder pain. Participants in the treatment group reported 66% faster and more complete relief compared to those who received a placebo light.
Since then, LLLT has received FDA clearance for a growing list of uses, including carpal tunnel, wound healing, and scar tissue. With over 2,000 published studies showing zero adverse side effects, it’s a therapy worth considering if you’re looking for natural support that’s backed by science.
How Exactly Does It Work?
Low-Level Laser Therapy uses gentle light in the visible range to help your body heal, starting at the cellular level. When this light reaches your cells, it gives them an energy boost.
Here’s how it works:
The light energy (called photons) is absorbed by special parts of your cells. This sparks a small change known as molecular excitation—basically, the light gives certain atoms just enough energy to activate helpful reactions inside the cell.
One key reaction happens in the part of your cells that creates energy, called the electron transport chain. This process helps your body make ATP, which is the primary fuel your cells use to do their jobs and repair themselves.
What Can It Help With?
LLLT is widely used for:
- Joint and muscle pain
- Nerve-related issues
- Scar tissue and slow-healing wounds
- Inflammation
- Sports injuries
- General tissue repair
Even better, many patients experience unexpected improvements in other areas because the increased ATP isn’t just local—it’s systemic, spreading those healing benefits throughout the body.
What to Expect
Most people begin to notice changes within a few sessions. On average, 4 to 12 treatments are recommended to start the healing process, though some patients feel relief right away.
Treatments can be done up to once daily per area for quicker results or as little as once per week per area and still be effective. We can treat more than one area in a single session and will tailor a plan to your specific needs. Some people continue occasional treatments as part of ongoing wellness care.
How Much Does It Cost?
- Single Laser Session – $35
- Package of 11 Sessions – $350 (the 11th session is free)
