Therapeutic Laser Gold Coast
Therapeutic Laser (also known as “photobiomodulation”) includes both low-level laser therapy and high intensity laser therapy. It is a non-invasive treatment that uses specific wavelengths of light to stimulate cellular healing, reduce inflammation and ease pain. Unlike surgical or high-heat lasers, it doesn’t cut or burn — it supports your body’s repair mechanisms, often with minimal discomfort.
At Spine Sport Feet, we use advanced laser devices that are gentle, efficient, and evidence-based to assist in recovery from musculoskeletal, soft tissue, and joint conditions.

Conditions We UseLaser Therapy For
We might recommend Laser therapy for a variety of conditions, including:
- Tendinopathies (e.g. Achilles tendon, patellar tendon, tennis/golfer’s elbow)
- Soft tissue injuries (strain, sprain, muscle tears)
- Joint pain and osteoarthritis flare-ups
- Disc injuries – disc bulge, annular tear
- Bursitis
- Post-surgical healing to support tissue regeneration
- Repetitive strain conditions (e.g. carpal tunnel, plantar fasciitis)

Each person’s case is different — our team will evaluate your condition, medical history, and goals to determine if high intensity laser therapy or low level laser are a suitable part of your treatment plan.
Comprehensive & Personalised Care
Our Process
- Initial assessment & screening
We’ll review your medical history, current symptoms, and perform a physical examination to determine whether laser therapy is appropriate for you. - Tailored laser settings & application
Using evidence-based protocols, we set wavelength, power, duration, and target point(s) to match your condition. - Complementary treatments
Laser therapy is rarely used in isolation. We often combine it with targeted exercise, manual therapy, movement re-education, and support measures (ice, taping, etc.). - Review & progression
After each session, we assess your response. Over time, we modify treatment settings, frequency, or taper use as healing progresses.
Home care & self-management
You’ll receive guidance (stretching, strengthening, load management) to maintain gains and reduce relapse risk.
What to Expect During a Session
- Sessions are typically 10–20 minutes (depending on area & protocol)
- You’ll feel a gentle warm or tingling sensation, but no pain
- No downtime: you can return to normal activities after
- Many patients notice cumulative improvement over several visits
- We monitor closely to avoid irritation or overuse
A Range of Treatments
We recognise that every recovery journey is unique. That’s why our practitioners combine laser therapy with complementary techniques such as guided exercises, movement correction, and targeted soft-tissue care — creating a treatment plan that’s personalised to your condition and goals.
Collaborative Care for Comprehensive Results
Our commitment to your recovery goes beyond laser therapy alone. Our team works closely with other allied health and medical professionals when needed — such as physiotherapists or general practitioners — to ensure you receive well-rounded, coordinated care that supports lasting results.
Chiropractic and Laser Therapy
Discover how our Chiropractic Care can further enhance the benefits of laser therapy. By combining precise hands-on treatment with advanced laser technology, we can address both the underlying structural alignment and the soft tissue healing process — helping to reduce pain, restore movement, and accelerate recovery.
Frequently Asked Questions
Unsure about something? We answer the most common questions we’ve received.
Laser therapy is considered low-risk when used by trained professionals. We screen for contraindications (e.g. pregnancy, cancer, light-sensitive medications) and adjust or withhold treatment as needed.
It depends on your condition’s severity, duration, and response. Some cases respond in a few sessions; chronic or deep tissue issues may require 6–12 sessions or more.
Not usually. Most people report mild, comfortable warmth or tingling. If you experience discomfort, we’ll adjust settings immediately.
Some patients notice relief after 1–2 treatments, but consistent improvement typically takes several sessions. Benefits often accrue over weeks.
Our chiropractors and podiatrists are highly skilled and adapt their techniques to suit your physical condition and personal preferences. We regularly treat patients with various conditions, from the elderly to young, strong, and robust individuals. Your comfort and safety are our top priorities.
Coverage varies by fund and your level of extras cover. In many cases, parts of the treatment may be eligible under allied health extras. If you are unsure, we recommend checking your policy to confirm your coverage.
