Laser Therapy or “photobiomodulation”, is the use of specific wavelengths of light (red and near infrared) to create powerful therapeutic effects. These effects include improved healing time, pain reduction, increased circulation and decreased swelling.
DRUG-FREE -- SURGERY FREE SOLUTIONS
We are the ONLY CLINIC in Boise offering the Platinum Series laser class four. Our new system accelerates the healing process by decreasing inflammation, pain, and scar tissue formation.
We are seeing dramatic laser therapy results for chronic and acute pain patients.
There are thousands of published studies demonstrating the clinical effectiveness of high-watt laser therapy. It's not a hoax.
Among the randomised controlled trials (RCTs), there are more than one hundred rigorously controlled, RCT studies that document the effectiveness of low light lasers for many clinical conditions, including deep tissue.
And yes, laser therapy is considered safe and approved by the FDA when performed under the care of a doctor, like our practitioner.
Our laser muscle therapy for pain helps Arthritis, Back Pain, Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, Neck pain, Fibromyalgia, Knee Pain, Shoulder Pain, Sports Injuries, Work or Auto Related Injuries, and more from our Boise treatments.
Home or low level laser therapy (LLLT) devices are class III lasers or “cold lasers", with power ranges of 5 milliwatts to 500 milliwatts.
Our K-laser is a high-powered therapy device ranging up to 24 Watts; plus with 4 Wavelengths, it provides the broadest array of tissue stimulation and penetration.
This power and deep penetration of the K-Laser Platinum 4 system is not attainable with other cold laser treatments in Boise.
Usually 6 to 12 sessions are sufficient to achieve a treatment goal. However, many patients note improvement in their condition in just one or two sessions, especially NOW WITH OUR UPGRADED 24 WATT LASER.
These sessions may be scheduled at two to three times per week for short duration treatment, or once or twice per week with longer treatment protocols.
It does not require the use of drugs or surgery, there are less side effects or risks, and it is quick and convenient. Studies have shown that it is equal to or more effective than other forms of physical therapy
You really don’t feel too much. There may be a slight warming sensation since the laser uses an infrared wavelength. Or you might feel a little tingly sensation – some people think this is due to the increase in cellular energy output, or the increase in cell membrane permeability.
Occasionally I have had a patient say there pain was slightly increased after a treatment. But remember – pain should be the ONLY judgment of your condition. Increased pain my be due to an increase in localized blood flow, increased vascular activity, increased cellular activity, or a number of other effects.
During more than twenty years of use of therapeutic lasers all over the world, very few side effects have ever been reported. Contrast that with the side effects of prescription drugs or surgery – high energy laser therapy has an amazingly safe track record.
Thanks to the higher power output of a Class IV Therapeutic Laser such as the K-Laser, treatment times are shortened, so you can get on with your busy life. Most treatments take only a few minutes.
Obviously, all conditions are different. But as a guideline, most tendinitis cases require fewer than six treatments over two weeks, and the area has healed. Whereas chronic arthritic knee pain may require more treatments, along with an occasional ‘booster’ shot of laser therapy.
Don’t want to come back for more laser therapy? Consider the alternative!!!
Some patients feel improvement in their condition after the very first treatment. Sometimes you will not feel improvement for a number of treatments. This does not mean that nothing is happening. Each treatment is cumulative and results are often felt after 5 or 6 sessions.

I had some chronic back problems when I decided to give Balance Chiropractic Clinic a visit. Dr. Troy Norris performed an evaluation and determined I had two pinched nerves. I have been going to see him for the past couple months and feel 10 times better. The office staff is wonderful and Dr. Norris is very personable and knows his stuff. Definitely a great idea for me to walk through that door as it would be for you.
Holistic approach and gentle treatment for chronic back issues. Professional and welcoming. Excellent explanations of technical aspects of health problems. I am very hopeful to regain pain-free movement and grateful the office works with my out-of-network insurance. Definitely worth it!
At your first visit to Balance Chiropractic Clinic, Dr. Troy Norris will explain how chiropractic care works and give you a full evaluation to see if our chiropractic solutions are a good fit to address your needs. If there is a good fit, we can customize a plan of Boise chiropractic care for your condition and health goals.
