At Orinda Chiropractic and Laser, Dr. Kevin Wong, a trusted and experienced chiropractor since 1996, offers the latest in cutting-edge Cold Laser Therapy technology to address pain, inflammation, and a range of musculoskeletal conditions.
What Is Cold Laser Therapy?
Cold laser therapy is a general term for lasers that do not run hot or damage tissue. Also known as low-level laser therapy (LLLT), this is a non-invasive treatment that uses low-intensity laser light to stimulate healing in damaged tissues. Unlike traditional lasers used for surgery, cold lasers do not produce heat, making them safe and painless for patients.
Dr. Kevin’s particular laser is a class IV device called the Cutting Edge MLS Laser. The therapy works by penetrating the skin and delivering energy to cells, accelerating the body’s natural healing processes.
Dr. Kevin was the first Doctor in Northern California to acquire the MLS laser technology back in 2009. Since then, he has treated hundreds of patients and in February 2025, acquired the newest and latest MLS model, the M7. He is the only practitioner in the SF Bay Area with this machine. The results for patients have been amazing.

Cold Laser Therapy FAQ: Advanced Pain Relief at Orinda Chiropractic and Laser
Cold Laser Therapy, also known as low-level laser therapy (LLLT), is a non-invasive treatment that uses low-level light to stimulate cellular repair, reduce inflammation, and alleviate pain. Unlike surgical lasers, cold lasers do not cut or burn tissue, making the treatment safe and pain-free.
The laser emits light energy, which penetrates deep into the tissues to stimulate cellular activity. This process enhances blood flow, accelerates tissue repair, and promotes natural healing. It’s particularly effective for:
- Reducing inflammation, edema and swelling by stimulating the circulatory system
- Alleviating chronic and acute pain
- Releases endorphins and drains the lymph nodes (lymphatic system)
- Accelerating recovery from injuries
Cold Laser Therapy is versatile and can address a wide range of conditions, including:
- Neck and back pain
- Arthritis
- Carpal tunnel syndrome
- Tendonitis
- Sports injuries
- Joint pain
- Plantar fasciitis
- Post-surgical recovery
- Muscle spasms
- Headaches
- TMJ (jaw) pain
Yes, the Cutting Edge MLS Laser Therapy has been FDA-approved since 2005 and is considered very safe when performed by a trained professional like Dr. Kevin Wong. The treatment is non-invasive, painless, and free of side effects, making it an excellent alternative to medications or surgery.
Each session is tailored to your specific needs and typically lasts 15-30 minutes. Here’s what happens during treatment:
- You’ll relax in a comfortable position.
- Dr. Wong will apply the laser device directly to the affected area.
- You may feel a gentle warming sensation, but the procedure is completely pain-free.
Many patients notice improvement after the first session, but normally it takes 3-4 sessions to really feel the difference. Treatments are cumulative, so each one builds on the other at a frequency of 2-3 treatments per week. A full treatment plan may include approximately 6-12 visits, depending on the severity of the condition.
The timeline for results varies based on the severity of your condition. Some patients report immediate relief after a single session, while others may require several treatments over a few weeks for optimal outcomes.
Most individuals dealing with pain, inflammation, scar tissue, post-surgical, or soft tissue injuries can benefit from Cold Laser Therapy. However, Dr. Wong will perform a thorough evaluation to determine if it’s the right treatment for you.
At Orinda Chiropractic and Laser, we are committed to delivering personalized care in a compassionate and welcoming environment. Here’s why patients trust us:
