Laser Therapy in Mooresville, NC

At ChiroLife Wellness Center, we use laser therapy as part of a broader care plan that addresses the root cause of your condition neurologically, not just the symptoms. We use it primarily for migraine patients and post-stroke patients as part of a broader treatment plan.

Dr. John Ashcraft, DC, has been in practice for over 20 years. He integrates laser therapy alongside chiropractic adjustments and soft tissue work to get the best possible outcome for each patient.

Laser therapy is a powerful addition to your existing chiropractic care, enhancing the effectiveness of treatments. If you would like to find out whether laser therapy is the right fit for your condition, call us at (704) 218-9161 or book an appointment online.

What Is Laser Therapy

Laser therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses focused light energy to target damaged tissues, reduce nerve inflammation, and support the body’s natural healing process. It may support tissue function, blood circulation, and recovery.

Chiropractors use laser therapy to treat:

Back and neck pain
Muscle strains
Joint pain, such as knee pain
Ligament injuries
Inflammation

The treatment is safe, painless, and quick. It helps reduce inflammation, ease discomfort, and improve mobility without medication or surgery.

At ChiroLife Wellness Center, we use a device called the Vielight, which is an Alpha Neuro Stimulator. It works through photobiomodulation using red light therapy. It helps to reduce swelling in the brain and the tissues around it.

Benefits of Laser Therapy in Chiropractic Care

Laser therapy offers a range of benefits that support the body’s natural healing processes and reduce pain.

Here are some of the key advantages:

Pain Management: Laser therapy helps reduce pain by targeting the affected area directly, without the need for injections or medication.

Tissue Healing: It stimulates your body’s own cells to speed up tissue repair and regeneration. Your body already knows how to heal itself. Laser therapy helps it do that more efficiently.

Collagen Production: It supports collagen production, which improves joint flexibility and helps you move better over time.

Blood Circulation: Improves blood flow, ensuring the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to tissues for enhanced healing.

At ChiroLife Wellness Center, treatments are integrated with chiropractic care that focuses on restoring proper nerve function and improving overall movement patterns.

What to Expect During Laser Therapy

Initial Consultation: Dr. John Ashcraft will assess your condition and create a treatment plan. This includes a detailed evaluation of movement, soft tissues, and nerve function to understand the root cause. We also perform nerve scans and take digital X-rays on site if needed.

Treatment Application: The laser device will be placed on the targeted area for a few minutes. For migraine patients, we combine this with our neurosystemic modulation technique and myotonal flow release (soft tissue therapy) to the suboccipital (base of the skull) muscles in the upper neck.

No Discomfort: Most patients feel a mild warming sensation, with no pain involved.

Session Duration: Sessions typically last 10-15 minutes, depending on the area being treated.

Post-Treatment: There is no downtime, and you can resume daily activities immediately.

About 15% of patients notice an improvement on their very first visit. It takes a few visits to really start resetting the nerve system, says Dr. Ashcraft. It is more of a process than a single event.

Patient Testimonials & Reviews

Bruce Swanson

Very caring and knowledgeable folks. They treated me with the utmost respect and kindness, the staff explained every step and made sure I understood. I have been a steady patient of chiropractic since 2007 at another top rated clinic and I’ve never received the thorough treatment and care I received from Chiropractic Life of Mootesville. I will definitely continue to seek my chiropractic help from them for years to come!

Not one to write reviews but the doctors here have been such a blessing! I’m pregnant with my first child and have scoliosis. I’ve been experiencing sciatic pain for years and since going to Chirolife regularly, I’ve noticed a huge difference in how little I experience it now, even with a growing tummy.

I’ve been to several chiropractors across different states over 10 years, and Dr. A is, without question, the most knowledgeable and effective chiropractor I’ve worked with. The entire staff at Chirolife Wellness is equally exceptional - professional, welcoming, and genuinely invested in your well-being. Even though I consider myself fairly knowledgeable about the benefits of chiropractic care, Chirolife Wellness exceeded my expectations with how holistic and comprehensive their approach is. The team takes the time to thoroughly explain your individualized treatment plan and strategies to improve your health (beyond the standard stretching/exercise

I started seeing Dr. Haley Huck to help with pain related to pregnancy. She was amazing at helping relieve that pain and overall educating me on the chiropractic way. Now, after the birth of my son, I have continued to see Dr. Huck and she is changing my life. The adjustments, education, and connection that she provides at every appointment is restoring wellness and healing in so many areas of my life. Why have I not done this sooner?! If you’re on the fence about whether or not to try a chiropractor, hop on over to ChiroLife Wellness and see Dr. Huck. From one mom to another, it’s worth it! ✨

These professionals have been a part of my life for at least 5 years. Both Dr. Ashcroft & Dr. Donahue are so caring & personable. The staff are always warm & welcoming. I get my regular adjustments and take advantage of their sauna. When I’m ready to leave, I float out of the office. So thankful I found them.
