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.

I am happy to say I am now pain free! After dealing with siatic pain for years on and off I feel like I am finally on the right track to keep my pain away! Learning the different stretches and muscle work has shown me that hard work and persistence pays off. Thank you Jake, Dr. Bob and Dr.Kendra for helping me and making this a fun experience!
Can’t say enough how much I appreciate what Catalyst Chiropractic has done for my well-being. The staff here is fantastic and the doctors are truly dedicated to their patients. Highly recommend to anyone looking to get actual results, I wish I would’ve found them years earlier 👍
I've dealt with chronic knee pain for the last 5yrs. So much so that I was literally unable to walk without crutches or a walker. The pain was so severe that it ruined every part of my life. Torn meniscus, little cartilage left, and severe arthritis. I've spend the last 3 weeks coming to Catalyst Chiropractic and after just the 2nd visit, the pain I've endured for so long was almost gone? How? I've done so much PT and other chiro places and they couldn't do any of what they have for me in such a short time. I'm getting back to the old me again. They clearly know what they're doing and I couldn't be more appreciative for what they're doing for me. This is no BS!
The physical therapists were highly knowledgeable, patient, and attentive to my specific needs. During the initial evaluation, they carefully listened to my concerns, explained my condition clearly, and developed a personalized treatment plan designed to improve my mobility and reduce pain. I appreciated how they took the time to answer questions and make sure I understood each exercise and therapy technique.
Dr. Bob, Dr. Kendra and Jake are fantastic. I have had knee pain for years. Now I am able to do squats, which I have not been able to do for a long time. They take their time, listen and address any issues you have. Great place and amazing staff! So glad I started going!
Dr. Kendra and team have made my chiropractic care manageable from day one. I am so grateful for her, Jake, and of course Dr. Bob. The care I've received has been second to none. Thanks guys!
Great team, helping me get pain free and moving like I should!!! The first adjustment by Dr. Kendra was amazing, my neck was so sore and that first adjustment made me actually say "WOW, I feel so much better, that's amazing".
During a trip to Minnesota, I messed up my neck from sleeping. I called different places and this clinic had a new patient special and was able to get me in same day. I had a flight the next day and couldn’t travel with a toddler, a baby and a screwed up neck/ shoulder. I had Dr. Kendra and she was amazing in many ways! She actually listened and cared more about my pain than I did. I just wanted a quick neck adjustment, but she showed me more areas of concern that explained where all my shoulder and back pain was coming from. Also knowing that i live in another state, leaving the next day, other doctors wouldnt put this much effort in a non returning patient. NOPE! She took her time, made sure i understood and passed all the info and xrays so i can carry on with my treatment else where.<br>Now for the actual adjustment that she did, it was perfect!! Sooooo much relief was served!!! Ive had tailbone pain for several years now and got worse when i gave birth. She took care of it when i wasnt even in there for that pain!! She just caught the comment i made about that pain and delivered her help! She’s truly a gem! I highly recommend this place!<br>❤️Thank you Dr. Kendra
I originally started seeing Dr. Bob 5 years ago for spinal adjustments. He is thorough with his assessments and pinpointing the areas of concern. Keeping my body in alignment is so important to me and I trust Dr. Bob with that! Catalyst has a wonderful team! Easy to schedule and get the care I need!! Thank you!
Came in for such bad back pain I couldn’t sit without being in extreme pain. After the first visit I couldn’t sit without tell my back was already feeling better. Dr.Bob and the team at Catalyst chiropractic are amazing! They always try to get you squeezed in where they can if you end up tweaking/hurting your back or any other joint which is amazing because not many places try to squeeze you in same day it’s always at least a week if not farther out. Best Chiropractic and rehab in my opinion.
I’ve been going to Dr Bob since November 2019. It was the best decision of my life! Very personable, and always willing to listen to what is ailing you. Highly recommend this establishment to everyone!
I was recommended by my aunt and they have really changed/fixed all my problems. From stiff hips and severe neck pain. They also give great rehab methods to do at home to keep up with the progress you have made.
I will always recommend Dr. Bob and his team! They are the best and always make sure things are done right. I only wish that I would’ve found them sooner.
Dr. Bob and Jake have been a life saver! I was struggling for years with back, hip, and leg pain. I found Catalyst Chiropractic on Facebook and made an appointment. What could be the worse that could happen?! But, instead what was the best that happened?! Dr. Bob and Jake were patient, understanding, but most importantly caring. They explained what I needed to do clearly and thoroughly. They were encouraging and ensured I would feel better if I “did the work” I learned during physical therapy. A few minutes of watching a video on Facebook and time well spent at the office has changed how I am facing my day to day life. I’m so thankful for Catalyst Chiropractic and the support they’ve given me. I highly encourage everyone to visit if you are looking for a better way of life!
I have been going to catalyst chiropractic for quite a few years now and I have to say Dr Bob and Jake are the best!!! I am a dental hygienist and have been for 36 years and with the positions I have to sit in day in and day out have really taken a toll on my back and hips. Dr Bob has taken me out of pain and educated me on how to strengthen areas to ensure I get the most out of my adjustments.I truly believe they help to keep me working and I look forward to seeing them every other week. They are fantastic people and would recommend to everyone!!
So grateful for Dr Bob and his talented team. I had been struggling for 6 months with pain and had done everything I could do. I went once and got a great adjustment and have improved so much ever since.
I’ve been coming to Catalyst Chiropractic for years, and they have consistently delivered amazing results. Whether it’s a headache, general tightness, or even the shoulder issue that had debilitated me for almost a year, they’ve helped me get back to feeling like myself again.<br><br>Their rehab programs are especially impressive—thorough, personalized, and truly effective. The entire team is knowledgeable, caring, and committed to long-term healing, not just quick fixes.<br><br>I highly recommend Catalyst to anyone looking for real relief and lasting improvement.
I absolutely love coming here. Dr. Kendra is the best! She listens to every concern I have, never rushes me, and her adjustments are always spot-on. I leave feeling relief every time. I highly recommend her! Dr. Bob is also makes acupuncture effortless! If you’re looking for good chiropractors come to Catalyst chiropractic!
Dr. Bob and Jake are friendly know what they are doing. Dr. Bob is helpful and helps to make your body whole not just a quick adjustment, but sometimes that is all one needs. I recommend Catalyst chiropractic and rehab. 3 plus years attending.
This place has increased my ability to do life. They have taught me strengthening and stretching as well as the adjustments and much needed muscle work. Highly recommend! I'm a lifer with them.
Highly recommend! I went in with such bad back pain that I would want to sit while showering or lean on grocery cart while shopping and now I can do both things with no pain. Dr. Bob and Jake really know what they are doing! They also gave me the tools and knowledge to be able to do things at home to help my progress along. Such a great experience.
This staff earned my trust from the start. The honesty and patients with my questions, progress along with great supplements available all in one visit earns 5 stars.
I love wonderful customer service! This is another place that knows what they are doing! I cannot stress enough how grateful I am for this Chiropractor office. From my first phone call to my most recent visit… true consistency!
I have been at this office since my last pregnancy, when my back started hurting in the beginning of it. My toddler is running around now and my back has been pain free for over 2 yrs now. Best self care pregnancy decision ever!
Dr. Bob and Jake (the kinesiologist) helped me so much when I needed therapy and rehab work. Now I go for my maintenance care and always appreciate their support and care!
I have been going to Dr. Bob for more then 10 years he is Amazing I will never go to anyone else. Also I’ve been through multiple support staff and Jake is a great addition to the office.
Dr Bob is great. Makes me feel like a million bucks. Jake is a great asset to the office too. Would highly recommend to anyone needing chiropractic care.
The greatest find and fix pain with “ therapeutic discomfort” I’ve been to Several chiropractor since I was in the army and this is the first one that pays attention and seems to give a damn. Give it a shot!
I’ve just completed 2 weeks of a 12 week treatment plan and I am amazed at the improvement I have! Dr. Bob + Jake are a great team and I am excited for my future! Hopeful to get back to the pickleball court!
Dr Bob and Jake have literally changed my life. When i first when in to see them i was very skeptical. Dr after Dr told me that there was nothing wrong with my knees and i was too young or too fat. After meeting Dr Bob and Jake, i feel like a person again. i can get on the ground and play with my grand kids and feel normal. Thank you Dr Bob and Jake for making me feel great again.
Great team of people. Always open to educating and working with clients to find long term solutions. If you're looking for a partner and you are committed to making changes to support your spinal and overall health then this is a place you should try. I also appreciate their convenient hours!
