Dr Sam Johnson (Chiropractor)

Dr Johnson has provided cold laser therapy consultations at this practice since 2014. The practice has operated from 528 Marion Road since 1972.

I use treatment parameters informed by the current research for every condition I treat with photobiomodulation. That means the wavelength, dose, and application method are matched to what the evidence supports for your specific presentation.

Cold laser therapy is delivered as part of a clinical assessment, not as a standalone service without evaluation. Every patient receives a thorough assessment to determine whether photobiomodulation may be appropriate for their situation.

If it is not the right fit, I will tell you. No pressure. No lock-in plans.

Individual responses vary. Not all presentations are suitable for cold laser therapy.

What is cold laser therapy?

Photobiomodulation (also known as cold laser therapy or low-level laser therapy) delivers specific wavelengths of light into your tissues. At the cellular level, this light energy is absorbed by the mitochondria, which may trigger biological responses that help manage pain and support tissue repair.

Unlike surgical lasers, cold laser therapy does not cut or heat tissue. Most people feel a gentle warmth or nothing at all during treatment.

Common questions

What is cold laser therapy?
Cold laser therapy (photobiomodulation) is a non-invasive treatment that delivers specific wavelengths of light to your tissues. At the cellular level, this light energy may help manage pain and support tissue repair. Treatment requires no medication or needles. Individual responses vary.
Is cold laser therapy generally well-tolerated?
Across clinical trials, adverse events associated with photobiomodulation are reported as rare and typically minor. It is not appropriate during pregnancy over the abdomen, directly over active cancers, or over the eyes without protection. Suitability depends on individual assessment.
How much does it cost?
Your initial consultation is $99, which includes a thorough assessment and treatment where clinically appropriate. Ongoing care is discussed at your first visit. Private pay, no lock-in plans. The decision is always yours.
Do I need a referral?
No. Chiropractors are primary contact practitioners in Australia. You can book directly without a referral from your GP.
How do I know if cold laser therapy may help me?
This depends on your condition and individual presentation. During your first visit, Dr Sam Johnson (Chiropractor) will assess your situation and discuss whether cold laser therapy may be appropriate. There are no lock-in plans. The decision is always yours.
What conditions do you treat?
We treat musculoskeletal conditions where there is published research supporting the use of photobiomodulation. Currently this includes knee osteoarthritis, plantar fasciitis, frozen shoulder, tennis elbow, Achilles tendinopathy and post-surgical recovery support. We do not make claims about conditions outside the musculoskeletal evidence base. Individual responses vary.
Is cold laser therapy the same as laser devices you can buy online?
No. Consumer devices typically deliver far lower energy levels than clinical-grade equipment. The clinical evidence is based on devices with specific characteristics and treatment parameters that consumer products generally do not match.
Where are you located?
528 Marion Road, Plympton Park SA 5038, on the Marion Road commuter corridor. We are open Monday to Friday from 7 am and Saturday mornings. Phone (08) 8297 5277.
