Laser Therapy in Ann Arbor

At Thatcher Chiropractic & Laser, we treat our patients with the PRO VX, a Class 3B therapeutic laser built around six precise wavelengths of light. Rather than delivering a single beam, the PRO VX layers violet, blue, green, red and infrared light together so that each session reaches tissue at a different depth, from surface irritation down into deep muscle and joint structures.

Also known as low-level laser or cold laser therapy, treatment is quick, painless and requires no downtime.

What the PRO VX Can Do for You

Most lasers rely on a single wavelength. The PRO VX uses six, and each one is tuned to do a different job. Some wavelengths work at the surface, calming inflammation and strengthening the body’s natural defenses against irritation. Others reach further, aiding nerve function and lymphatic flow, while the deepest-penetrating wavelengths target muscle and joint tissue to encourage cellular repair and speed recovery.

Dr. Bill and his team use this layered approach because pain and inflammation rarely live at just one depth. Treating several tissue layers in the same eight-minute session gives your body a fuller signal to heal, not just a temporary dulling of symptoms.

How Treatment Is Structured

Laser therapy with the PRO VX is delivered in short, eight-minute sessions, bundled into packages sized to your condition. A short course is often enough to calm acute pain and show us how your body responds; more involved or chronic conditions typically call for a longer package, sometimes with periodic booster visits to maintain results. During your visit, our chiropractor will recommend the package that fits your specific situation.

FAQ

Does insurance pay for laser therapy?
Typically, insurance companies do not have coverage for laser therapy.

How much does laser therapy cost?

Cost depends on your condition and the package that’s right for you. Dr. Bill will put together a treatment plan at your visit, and our team will walk you through the pricing before you commit to anything. Give us a call and we’re happy to answer any questions in the meantime.

Does the laser hurt?

No. Our healing laser won’t cause any discomfort. Some patients notice a gentle warming sensation.

Should I rest after treatment?

No. There are no restrictions on your physical activity afterward.
How long does it take before I feel a difference?
Your results will vary depending on your condition, age and level of health. Many conditions can be completely healed. If you have a degenerative condition, you may require ongoing sessions to maintain your relief.

Do I need to wear special clothes for laser therapy?

No special clothing is needed. The PRO VX’s light energy will pass through most clothing, though we get the best results when it’s applied directly to the skin.

How long will a session take for laser therapy?

Each PRO VX session takes about eight minutes. Sessions are grouped into packages, from a short course for acute issues to a longer package for chronic or multi-area conditions. Our chiropractor will recommend the right starting point after evaluating your condition.

What about having surgery or injections instead?

Surgery is costly, painful and usually has a lengthy recovery period. There is no guarantee of success. With injections, your relief is temporary and they may contain harmful substances. We encourage our patients to try more conservative routes first.
