PRECISION GUIDED LASER THERAPY
At Imprint Health Center, we can incorporate the use of guided laser therapy in addition to your cranial chiropractic session for an additional fee. Specific wavelengths of light improve the fluid dynamics in the body and can have better influence for CSF or cerebrospinal fluid movement, as well as having a great influence on the brain.

When cells absorb the light energy, it initiates a series of events that result in normalizing damaged or injured tissue. Since our goal is to help regulate the nervous system and brain function with the care we provide, it is a great addition to your session. Many neurology clinics are now using laser therapies for specific brain rehabilitation programs for adults and children. Our clinic does not have this capacity to do neuro rehab, as we refer for these therapies, but we can include the light therapy into body work sessions.
What is Laser therapy?
Pulsed light therapy represents the next advance in photobiomodulation. Through precise frequency modulation and duty cycle control, the 5i Series delivers light energy tuned to the body’s natural biological rhythms. This precision-guided approach allows light to interact at the cellular level—supporting mitochondrial function, brainwave balance, and tissue recovery. Unlike continuous light systems, frequency-coded light therapy helps users achieve optimized results safely and effectively. See research here : https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC5505738/
What does it help with?
975nm: Boost EZ Water The average human body is roughly 60% water (H2O)! Here’s the exciting part: before your cells can make the most of this water, it needs to transform into H3O2, also known as Exclusion Zone (i.e. EZ) water. EZ water boasts a gel-like structure that is essential for countless cellular processes. Enter the 975nm wavelength of laser light—a game-changer! This wavelength directly excites water molecules, triggering a dynamic burst of movement and kinetic energy. This transformative process helps rearrange the molecules into EZ water, supercharging cellular hydration. The more EZ water you generate, the more revitalized and hydrated your cells become!
Hydration and Cellular Function
The increased formation of EZ water due to 975nm laser light enhances cellular hydration, crucial for sustaining cell integrity and optimal function. Well-hydrated cells operate biochemical reactions more efficiently, promoting overall health. EZ water also supports cellular signaling and metabolic processes, amplifying the benefits of photobiomodulation therapies.
Enhanced Blood Circulation
The thermal impact of 975nm laser light decreases blood viscosity, facilitating smoother blood flow through vessels. This localized heating also prompts the release of nitric oxide, which dilates blood vessels, thereby enhancing circulation and nutrient delivery. Together, these effects promote improved blood flow, decreased inflammation, and enhanced tissue healing and function.
Increased Oxygenation
Enhanced microcirculation efficiently delivers oxygen from the bloodstream to cells, significantly enhancing overall tissue oxygenation. This process also aids in the efficient removal of carbon dioxide and metabolic waste, promoting improved cellular function. With enhanced oxygen delivery, cells receive the necessary oxygen for aerobic respiration and increased energy production.
Improved Cellular Metabolism
Enhanced oxygenation promotes elevated cellular metabolism, bolstering cell function and overall health. The restructuring of EZ water around cells further facilitates enhanced biochemical reactions, the efficient removal of metabolic waste, and the delivery of essential nutrients.
Advanced Pain Relief & Inflammation Reduction
Our laser therapy targets inflammation, improves circulation, and supports cellular repair to help your body recover faster and feel better every day.
Whether managing joint discomfort, muscle soreness, or post-exercise pain, the 5i series helps to aid in healing.
Circulatory Optimization & Tissue Oxygenation
Laser light gently stimulates microcirculation and improves oxygen flow, fueling your cells with the energy they need to repair and perform.
With better circulation comes faster recovery, improved energy, and long-term resilience.
Muscle Recovery & Performance Enhancement
Accelerate muscle repair and resilience through precision-guided light therapy recovery programs. Help your muscles rebuild faster and reduce oxidative stress — supporting recovery between workouts, after injuries, or following physical therapy.
Clinically validated PBM technology helps optimize muscle strength and endurance for peak performance.
Rest, Relaxation & Nervous System Support
Photobiomodulation (PBM) using targeted near-infrared wavelengths has been studied for its ability to support cellular energy production, circulation, and physiological regulation — all of which play an important role in how the body responds to physical and mental stress.
By supporting tissue comfort, oxygen utilization, and overall nervous system function, PBM may help promote relaxation, ease physical tension, and support healthy sleep and recovery patterns. Guided programs are designed to help you restore balance, resilience, and everyday well-being through consistent use.
Cognitive & Brain Optimization
Emerging research in photobiomodulation (PBM) suggests promising effects on cognitive performance, neuroinflammatory balance, and overall brain function. The 5i Series utilizes targeted near-infrared wavelengths to support mitochondrial activity and cellular metabolism in neural tissue.
Because the brain has exceptionally high energy demands, healthy mitochondrial function plays a critical role in cellular signaling, adaptability, blood flow, and cognitive performance. Research in PBM has explored mechanisms related to cellular energy production (ATP), oxidative stress regulation, neuroinflammatory modulation, synaptic signaling, and neuroplasticity pathways. By supporting the biological systems associated with neural function and energy production, PBM may help promote mental clarity, focus, cognitive resilience, and overall brain wellness.
Mood & Energy Enhancement
Photobiomodulation (PBM) using near-infrared wavelengths has been widely studied for its ability to support mitochondrial activity, cellular metabolism, circulation, and physiological balance. By supporting how the body produces and utilizes energy, PBM may help promote mental clarity, relaxation, resilience, and overall well-being.
Together, these effects help support the body’s natural ability to adapt, recover, and maintain healthy cognitive and physical function throughout the day. Use regularly to support balanced energy, focus, and everyday vitality.
Are there contraindications of use?
Laser therapy is considered a very safe form of therapy with little to no side effects. Never discontinue use of medications prescribed by your doctor, but report improvements. Always consult with your doctor and follow the below considerations:
- Eyes: Never direct the laser into the eyes, as it can cause serious damage or injury.
- Pregnancy: Avoid using laser therapy on the abdominal or lower back area during pregnancy.
- Cancer: Do not use the device over known or suspected cancerous lesions or tumors.
- Active Infection: Avoid using the device on areas with active infections, as the therapy might exacerbate the condition.
- Thyroid Gland: Do not use the laser over the thyroid gland to avoid potential thyroid dysfunction.
- Photosensitive Skin Conditions: Individuals with photosensitive skin conditions or those taking medications that increase photosensitivity should avoid laser therapy.
- Epilepsy: Use caution in individuals with epilepsy, especially if the device emits pulsing light that could potentially trigger seizures.
- Bleeding Disorders: Avoid using the device on areas with recent or active bleeding, as laser therapy may affect blood clotting.
- Individuals with a history of active seizure disorders should only use this device under the guidance and direction of a qualified healthcare provider, particularly when applying it to the head.
