Erchonia Laser Therapy

Offered by Dr. Ryan Van Halst, DC

Erchonia laser therapy is a non-invasive, evidence-informed treatment that uses specific wavelengths of light to help reduce pain, support tissue repair, and improve overall function. At Bodiworks, Dr. Ryan Van Halst uses advanced Erchonia laser technology to complement chiropractic care and rehabilitation by stimulating the body's natural healing processes at the cellular level.

This form of low-level laser therapy is painless and does not produce heat or damage tissue. Instead, it delivers targeted light energy that encourages cells to function more efficiently, helping reduce inflammation and promote recovery.

Our Erchonia laser system includes both red and violet wavelength settings, allowing treatments to be tailored depending on the condition being addressed.

• Red laser light is commonly used to help reduce inflammation, relieve pain, and support healing in muscles, joints, and soft tissues.
• Violet laser light is often used for more surface-level concerns and may help support tissue recovery, circulation, and certain dermatological or inflammatory conditions.

Using these two wavelengths allows treatment to be more precise and adaptable to each patient's needs.

Benefits of Erchonia Laser Therapy

Erchonia laser therapy can support recovery and improve comfort for many musculoskeletal concerns. Treatment may help:

• Reduce inflammation and localized pain
• Support faster tissue repair and recovery
• Improve mobility and joint function
• Reduce muscle tension and soft tissue irritation
• Complement chiropractic adjustments and rehabilitation programs

Many patients report gradual improvements in pain, movement, and overall function when laser therapy is included as part of a comprehensive treatment plan.

Conditions Laser Therapy May Help With

Erchonia laser therapy may be recommended for a variety of conditions affecting the muscles, joints, and soft tissues, including:

Spine & Joint Conditions
• Neck and back pain
• Joint stiffness or inflammation
• Shoulder, hip, and knee pain

Soft Tissue Injuries
• Muscle strains and ligament sprains
• Tendon irritation or tendonitis
• Repetitive strain injuries

Foot & Mobility Concerns
• Plantar fasciitis
• Heel pain
• Overuse injuries from sports or daily activity

Laser therapy may also be used to support recovery following injury or alongside other chiropractic treatments.

What to Expect During Treatment

Laser therapy sessions are quick, comfortable, and non-invasive. Most treatments take approximately 10 to 15 minutes, depending on the area being treated.

During your appointment, Dr. Ryan may:
• Review your symptoms and treatment goals
• Apply the laser to specific areas of concern
• Use red or violet laser wavelengths depending on the treatment plan

Patients typically feel little to no sensation during treatment, though some may notice a mild relaxing or warming effect as tissues respond.

Supporting Recovery and Better Movement

Erchonia laser therapy provides a safe and effective way to help reduce pain and support healing without medication or invasive procedures. When combined with chiropractic care and movement-based rehabilitation, laser therapy can play an important role in helping patients recover from injury, improve mobility, and return to daily activities with greater comfort.

At Bodiworks, Dr. Ryan integrates Erchonia laser therapy into individualized care plans designed to help you move better, feel better, and stay active.
