Low Level Laser Therapy (for managing pain)
Low Level Laser Therapy – for managing pain and accelerating wound healing
At DrBK, we offer alternative pain management solutions where appropriate, including Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT)—also known as Cold Laser Therapy or Non-Thermal Laser Therapy—for patients experiencing chronic pain in areas such as the mouth, head, neck, shoulders, back, and more.
We use the state-of-the-art EVRL device from Erchonia to deliver this non-invasive treatment. Widely used for pain management, wound healing, and a range of musculoskeletal conditions, the EVRL stimulates biological processes within your body’s cells, such as boosting cell metabolism, reduce inflammation, accelerate tissue repair, and support the body’s natural healing processes, offering a safe, effective, and drug-free approach to improving comfort and quality of life.

Benefits of EVRL Low Level Laser Therapy
The benefits of EVRL’s Low Level Laser Therapy go far beyond simple pain relief. This cutting-edge, drug-free treatment works with your body to heal faster, feel better, and function at your best. Clinical studies and trials of laser therapy technology indicate the following beneficial effects of Low Level Laser Therapy:
Reduces Inflammation
EVRL helps open up blood vessels and activate your lymphatic system—quickly reducing inflammation and easing pressure from injury or chronic pain.
Natural Pain Relief
Low Level Laser therapy exerts a very beneficial effect on pain in multiple ways. This therapy interrupts pain signals, calms overactive nerves, reduces swelling, and even boosts your body’s natural painkillers like endorphins—for long-lasting, soothing relief.
Speeds Up Healing & Cell Repair
Laser light energises your cells, helping them work harder and faster. That means quicker recovery for muscles, tendons, ligaments, and skin—whether you're dealing with an injury or post-treatment healing.
Boosts Blood Flow
Better circulation = better healing. EVRL encourages new capillary growth and widens blood vessels, delivering oxygen and nutrients where your body needs them most.
Supercharges Your Metabolism (Cellular, That Is)
By increasing the production of healing enzymes and enhancing how your cells use oxygen and nutrients, EVRL kickstarts recovery at the deepest level.
Targets Trigger Points & Acupuncture Points
A non-invasive way to ease tension and pain. EVRL gently stimulates key points in the body, helping release tight muscles and promote whole-body relief—without needles.
Minimises Scarring
EVRL supports cleaner, smoother healing by reducing the build-up of fibrous tissue. It’s especially effective after surgery, injury, or burns.
Enhances Nerve Function
Damaged nerves can be slow to recover. EVRL speeds up that process, improving both movement and sensation, and helping restore normal nerve activity.
Strengthens Your Immune Response
This therapy doesn’t just heal—it helps protect. EVRL boosts the production of immune cells and enhances how your white blood cells access damaged tissue, helping your body stay strong and recover faster.
Promotes Faster Wound Healing
Whether it’s a cut, burn or post-procedure area, EVRL accelerates collagen production and tissue regeneration—helping wounds close faster and reducing risk of infection.
How does the EVRL Low Level Laser Therapy work?
The EVRL harnesses specific wavelengths of light (specifically red (635nm) and violet (405nm) to stimulate biological processes within your body’s cells. This is known as photobiomodulation, and it’s what makes the laser both powerful and safe.
Here’s how the EVRL treatment works, step by step:
1. Light Penetrates Tissue
The EVRL emits two types of laser light that penetrate the skin without heat or damage:
- Red Laser: Penetrates deeper into soft tissues and muscles.
- Violet Laser: Targets the surface and has strong anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory effects.
2. Cellular Activation
The laser light is absorbed by the mitochondria (the “powerhouses” of your cells). This boosts production of ATP (adenosine triphosphate)—the energy source cells use to heal and regenerate.
3. Healing Response is Triggered
This increase in cellular energy leads to a cascade of therapeutic effects:
- Reduced inflammation
- Decreased pain sensitivity
- Accelerated tissue repair and regeneration
- Enhanced blood flow and oxygenation
- Modulated immune response
4. Violet Laser Adds Antimicrobial Benefits
The violet wavelength has unique anti-bacterial and anti-microbial properties, making it effective in treating skin conditions like acne and supporting cleaner healing in wounds or inflamed areas.
5. Drug-Free, Non-Thermal, and Repeatable
Unlike high-powered lasers, EVRL does not generate heat, so there’s no tissue damage or downtime. The treatment is painless, safe to repeat, and suitable for patients who want to avoid medication or invasive procedures.
What conditions can the EVRL help with?
The EVRL is FDA-cleared for the following:
- Chronic Neck Pain of musculoskeletal origin
- Chronic Shoulder Pain of musculoskeletal origin.
- Acne: The EVRL’s violet laser targets Propionibacterium acnes, reducing bacteria and inflammation.
With exceptional clinical research and FDA market clearance in treating conditions such as these, the EVRL laser is a trusted and proven treatment approach, allowing practitioners to change patients’ lives without the harmful side effects associated with traditional treatment options.
