What is Erchonia^® GVL Laser Therapy?

The Erchonia GVL Laser is an advanced low-level laser therapy (LLLT) system that utilizes precise green (532 nm) and violet (405 nm) laser wavelengths to deliver therapeutic light energy into targeted tissues.

Unlike surgical lasers, the GVL Laser does not generate heat, burn tissue, or damage the skin.

Instead, it uses a process known as photobiomodulation, in which specific wavelengths of light interact with your cells to support normal cellular function and the body’s natural healing response.

The treatment is gentle, comfortable, and requires no downtime, making it an excellent option for patients seeking conservative, evidence-informed care.

FDA-Cleared Technology You Can Trust

At Sandoval Family Chiropractic, we believe advanced technology should also be backed by science.

The Erchonia GVL Laser has received FDA 510(k) clearance for:

• Adjunctive use in providing temporary relief of minor chronic neck and shoulder pain of musculoskeletal origin when using the green and violet laser diodes simultaneously.
• Treatment of moderate inflammatory Acne Vulgaris using the violet laser diode.

Erchonia has earned numerous FDA clearances across its family of low-level laser systems, reflecting decades of research, engineering, and clinical innovation.

Although laser therapy is commonly incorporated into treatment plans for many additional musculoskeletal conditions based on clinical experience and published research, your provider will determine whether it is appropriate for your individual diagnosis and goals.

How Does Cold Laser Therapy Work?

The Erchonia GVL Laser delivers low-level light energy into injured or painful tissues.

That light is absorbed by structures inside your cells called mitochondria, often referred to as the “powerhouses” of the cell.

This process—known as photobiomodulation—helps support normal cellular activity and the body’s natural healing mechanisms.

Laser Therapy May Help Support:

• Healthy ATP (cellular energy) production
• Healthy circulation
• Normal inflammatory response
• Soft tissue repair
• Improved recovery following injury
• Reduced musculoskeletal discomfort
• Improved mobility and function

What Does Treatment Feel Like?

One of the most common questions we hear is:

“Can you feel the laser?”

Most patients feel little or nothing during treatment.

The Erchonia GVL Laser produces no heat, vibration, or electrical stimulation.

Many patients simply relax while the laser is applied.

Treatments typically last 5 to 20 minutes, depending on the area being treated.

There is no downtime, allowing you to return to work, exercise, or your daily routine immediately after your appointment unless your provider recommends otherwise.
