Soft Tissue Laser Therapy is an FDA-cleared modality that reduces inflammation, promotes healing, and ultimately results in pain reduction. Laser Therapy is effective in treating acute pain, chronic conditions, and post-op pain. It works by flooding the tissue with light photons of a specific wavelength, which research shows to energize cells resulting in increased circulation to the injured area.
Laser therapy treatment is safe, painless, and fast. Deep Tissue Laser Therapy treatments are administered in 5 to 10 minutes with most patients seeing results within 3 to 5 treatments.
Deep Tissue Laser Therapy utilizes your body’s own recuperative abilities by stimulating increased cellular activity, inducing a series of healing responses in the injured tissues. During treatment you will feel a soothing warmth that identifies the beginning of an 18-24 hour process of modulated cellular activity leading to decreased pain and inflammation and increased range of motion.

What will you feel during laser therapy?
Laser therapy treatment is safe, painless and fast. Patients feel a soothing warmth as laser energy gently penetrates the tissue and boosts your body’s own regeneration powers to relieve your pain. Deep Tissue Laser Therapy treatments are usually administered for 5 to 10 minutes depending on the body location. Results can be immediate but the most observed results are after 4 to 6 treatment sessions. The body continues to benefit from the effects of the therapy for 18-24 hours after treatment. During this time, modulated cellular activity leads to decreased pain and inflammation. Our class IV laser has a power output of 9 Watts! This is in comparison to class III lasers which operate at .5 Watts. This means that our laser is almost 20 times more powerful. We can accomplish in 6 minutes what the class III laser accomplishes in 120 minutes or 2 hours.
How do we incorporate deep tissue therapy into your physical therapy?
Clinically, the greatest effect of laser in the practice setting occurs in combination with either hands-on or instrument Chiropractic adjustments and other manual modalities such as massage, electrical muscle stimulation and neuromuscular re-education. It works synergistically with these procedures to augment the body’s own healing ability. The combination of these therapies allow us to get our patients better quicker with less residual discomfort and less formation of scar tissue! Deep tissue laser has even been show to reduce scar tissue formations from past injuries and surgical procedures.
Is Deep Tissue Laser Therapy right for you?
Deep Tissue Laser Therapy has become preferred by patients who have not responded to other interventions. Its ability to impact pain on a cellular level provides pain relief for not only simple conditions but chronic and complex conditions as well.
Is Deep Tissue Laser Therapy the Same as Cold Laser?
No, cold laser is not even in the same ball park as DTLT. There are many different types of laser apparatuses being used in Chiropractic clinics, medical clinics, physical therapy clinics and other healthcare clinics that are toted as being deep tissue laser. DTLT comes from a Class IV Medical Laser and is the only therapeutic laser that has the technology and ability to penetrate to the deeper tissues. All the other lasers barely penetrate through your layers of skin, some may get down a quarter of an inch but the LCT-1000 can penetrate up to three-quarters of an inch which is considerably deeper than other devices.

Dr. Dennis is awesome. Not only is he good at what he does, but he’s friendly and kind. His staff is also great! I like the fact that his facility has a gym and a professional trainer who will work with Dr. Dennis to provide what is needed for strength, balance, etc. I highly recommend this business.
I cannot say ENOUGH kind words about the staff @ The Spine and Wellness Center! I came to them about 4 months ago and feeling like what's the use "I'm always going to feel bad and there's nothing I can do about it!" My husband who was already seeing Dr Derrick encouraged me to take that first step and just meet Dr Derrick and see what would happen. I decided to at least go talk to Dr Derrick and Katie and see if I could get some encouragement that would spark some motivation. Sometimes we know what to do but not sure how to take those first steps in the right direction, and need a little gentle push. Dr Derrick developed a plan for me that included working with the Nutritionist Katie and Cody the Trainer and one step at a time has made a world of difference in my everyday life and attitude. I still have young children at home and work FT so I needed my mind and energy to handle everyday life and enjoy life to the fullest! I can say emphatically that Dr Derrick, Katie, Cody, Amber and Janita have given me back my zeal for life and I thank the Lord for using them to help me!!! May the Lord bless them richly! Thank you!!!!!!!!!!
Love this place! Staff are welcoming and friendly. Appreciate how Dr Derrick and Cody work together to help their patients get good results. I felt relief from my neck pain after the first visit. Knowing what exercises to do has been helpful! Thanks so much!
Excellent Care, Fast, Easy, Improvement right away, Kind, Caring, brilliant to have gym and personal training on site to help with issues, full-service with x-rays, ultrasound and red light laser treatment, They take the time to listen and Faith based a plus also.

I have been a patient of Calhoun Spine and Wellness for a few years now and Dr. Derrick and his staff are top notch. If you are looking for adjustments or health and wellness regimen, look no further!
My look forward to getting my adjustments because I know I’m going to feel better when I leave the office. Friendly and welcoming staff that make your experience enjoyable.
I have never had a bad experience here! This place has become part of my routine and has helped me so much! The staff are always nice and helpful and willing to work with my schedule.
In less than a month they have taken me from living with back pain daily and barely being able to move around normally to virtually zero back pain and doing things that I didn't think I could do anymore.
I starting coming here about 4 months or so ago, with severe lower back pain, to which I was told that my muscles in between my discs were deteriorating. We began red light therapy, shock therapy, regular adjustments, and the all-core physical therapy. I have little to no pain anymore and finally feel like my old self. Staff is super helpful, kind, and communicative. Couldn’t recommend this place enough!
Wonderful staff and Dr. D is top notch! Always accomadating and sticks to appointment times. In and out and feeling better in no time. Thanks, Calhoun Spine Care and Wellness!!
The staff and Chiropractor here are Amazing people, very helpful and friendly. They offer many services beyond your typical chiropractic practic and will be a place i continue to use through the years for myself and my family as well!
I received a lymphatic drainage massage from katy and it was absolutely amazing! I can already feel a huge difference and it has only been a few hours can't wait to see me results over the next few days! Do yourself a favor and book now!
The staff is very kind and helpful. I am very happy with my adjustments and they have made a difference. I have enjoyed the PT and the 360 machine. I have had 1 massage and it was great, she really knows her muscles and has some great techniques to release those tight tissues. I am having a great experience with Calhoun spine care and wellness.
I booked an appointment for a massage with April. She did an amazing job! She checked in frequently to ensure I was comfortable. I would definitely book a massage with her again!
April gave me an amazing therapeutic massage focused on a shoulder injury. She listens well to what you need and checks in often. I’ll definitely go again!
I recently visited Calhoun Spine and Wellness Center and was very impressed. The staff made me feel welcome and cared for, and the facility is absolutely beautiful. Dr Derrick was very knowledgeable and explained everything in detail. I came in tight and slightly hurting, I walked out feeling much, much better. Looking forward to making this a routine deal. Highly recommend for anyone in need of chiropractic services!
This was my first time ever seeing a chiropractor. I suffer severe chronic pain in my back and neck that I have had for about 10 years. The doctor took x-rays of my neck and back and Then thoroughly explained in detail what he had found. During my first appointment, I had my first chiropractic adjustment and It was absolutely fantastic. It was the first time in years that my pain was significantly less after I was done. I don’t normally write reviews, but I have to give Calhoun Spine Care & Wellness Center 5 stars. I would recommend Calhoun Spine Care & Wellness Center to absolutely anyone who needs to see a chiropractor
So grateful for Calhoun Spine and Wellness. I didn’t realize how in need of chiropractic care I was. After a thorough consultation I chose to do the Mobility Care along side my visits. I have built strength and have eliminated most all the daily pain I experienced. Dr. Blake always makes me feel comfortable and has taken time to listen to my concerns! Cody is very encouraging and has always walked me though mobility. Amber is ready to help with a smile! I will continue my fitness journey and chiropractic needs with this awesome team! Highly recommend!
I had a wonderful experience at Calhoun Spine Care and Wellness. They are absolutely amazing and truly make you feel like part of the family. I completed 3 months of adjustments along with the mobility training and I am so glad I made the investment. Not only did this experience help alleviate my pain but I can walk and move around better than before. Highly recommend!
5 stars<br>5 stars X2!! The perfect blend of better health and fitness with an amazing staff! They genuinely care about you and the goals you have set for yourself as well as help you figure those out if you don’t already know. Always there for you…both when you feel you’re at your best and when you struggle. Can’t ask for better than that! ❤️
I have had unexplained leg pain for 4 years. I’ve been to numerous doctors and had massages at other places but no relief. I didn’t tell Katie about my problem but after her extremely thorough massage my leg pain is gone. Praise the Lord for sending me to someone like Katie who got to the root of my problem.
I went in for a massage as I was experiencing pain and stiffness from neck to lower back area. Kathy did an exceptional job relieving the pain and was able to give me a good amount of mobility in these areas back. Thanks so much!
I would highly recommend Dr Derek. He is really good at what he does. I have been suffering for too long with lower back pain. I now have relief thanks to him.
