Apex Laser Therapy
- Class IV High-Power Laser Technology
- Four Therapeutic Wavelengths in One Device
- Drug-Free, Non-Invasive Pain Relief
- Personalized Treatment Protocols
Credence Chiropractic is proud to offer Apex Laser Therapy — one of the most advanced photobiomodulation technologies available today. The Apex Multi-Wave Laser System delivers high-power therapeutic light energy across four precisely tuned wavelengths, allowing us to support recovery, relieve pain, and accelerate healing at the cellular level.
Whether you are recovering from injury, managing chronic pain, or looking to enhance athletic performance, we pair Apex laser therapy with your chiropractic adjustments — a complementary approach tailored to your specific tissue depth, condition, and goals, all without medication, needles, or downtime.
What Is the Apex Multi-Wave Laser System?
The Apex Multi-Wave Laser Series is the world’s first laser device of its kind — a high-power Class IV laser engineered for deeper tissue penetration, faster treatment times, and consistent clinical results. Built around medical-grade GaAlAs diode technology manufactured in Germany by Dilas, the Apex delivers stable, reliable energy for every session.
Unlike single-wavelength lasers that target only one tissue depth, the Apex combines four therapeutic wavelengths into a single handpiece, giving us the flexibility to address surface conditions, deep musculoskeletal injuries, and everything in between with precision.
Four Therapeutic Wavelengths in One Device
Each wavelength is selected — or combined — based on your treatment goals, tissue depth, and condition:
670nm — Red Light Therapy: Penetrates skin and tissue to promote blood flow, mitochondrial stimulation, and increased ATP production for faster healing.
810nm — Deep Cellular Absorption: Rapidly activates hemoglobin oxygenation, supporting muscle and tendon regeneration through cytochrome c oxidase stimulation.
980nm — Pain Modulation: Targets thermal and mechanical receptors for rapid analgesic effect, improved circulation, and muscle relaxation.
1064nm — Reduced Scatter Therapy: Penetrates deeper into tissue with minimal melanin absorption, activating metabolic processes vital to cellular repair.
Key Benefits of Apex Laser Therapy
With high clinical power and customizable protocols, Apex delivers measurable benefits that go beyond traditional light therapy:
Faster Recovery: Accelerated tissue healing through enhanced cellular energy production and improved blood flow.
Drug-Free Pain Relief: Reduces inflammation and modulates pain signaling without medication or side effects.
Shorter Treatment Times: High-power output means most sessions take only a few minutes, fitting easily into busy schedules.
Tailored Protocols: Built-in clinical presets combined with adjustable wavelength selection allow each session to match your specific condition.

What to Expect During Your Apex Laser Session
At Credence, Apex laser therapy is delivered alongside your chiropractic adjustment — we don’t run laser-only sessions. The laser portion is quick, comfortable, and completely non-invasive; most patients describe it as a gentle, soothing warmth on the treatment area. Here’s how a typical visit works:
- Consultation: We start with a focused assessment of your condition, treatment goals, and medical history.
- Protocol Selection: Your provider selects the wavelength combination and power settings best suited to your tissue depth and concern.
- Integrated Treatment: Your chiropractic adjustment is paired with focused laser therapy — the handpiece is moved over the target area for a few minutes per zone, complementing the adjustment with no extra preparation or recovery time.
- Reassessment: We track your response between visits and adjust the protocol as your tissue responds.
Most patients complete a course of 6–12 visits, with treatment plans adjusted based on your response. Many notice changes within the first few sessions, while chronic conditions may benefit from the longer end of that range.
FAQs
Is Apex Laser Therapy Safe?
Yes. Apex is a Class IV therapeutic laser cleared for clinical use and operated by trained professionals. It is non-invasive, drug-free, and produces no ionizing radiation. We use protective eyewear during every session and adjust power settings to your specific condition.
How Many Apex Sessions Will I Need?
Most plans run 6–12 visits, paired with your chiropractic adjustments. Acute issues may respond toward the lower end of that range, while chronic or deep-tissue conditions typically benefit from the full series. After your initial assessment, we’ll design your plan and reassess progress along the way.
Does Apex Laser Therapy Hurt?
No. Most patients describe the sensation as a gentle, soothing warmth on the treatment area. There is no needle, no incision, and no downtime — you can return to your normal activities immediately.
How Is Apex Different from Cold Laser or Red Light Therapy?
Cold (low-level) lasers and basic red-light panels deliver limited power and a single wavelength, restricting them to surface tissue. Apex is a high-power Class IV system that utilizes four different wavelengths — not six — allowing us to reach deeper structures and combine wavelengths to match the exact treatment goal.
Can Apex Laser Therapy Be Combined with Chiropractic Care?
Yes — in fact, we always deliver Apex laser therapy alongside your chiropractic adjustments; we don’t offer laser-only sessions. The two work together: laser reduces inflammation and accelerates tissue recovery so that adjustments hold longer and healing progresses faster, complementing our neurological care.
Who Should Avoid Apex Laser Therapy?
Laser therapy is generally well tolerated, but we recommend caution for patients who are pregnant (over the abdomen), those with active cancer in the treatment area, or anyone with photosensitivity disorders. Our team will review your medical history before recommending laser care.
