Class IV Laser Therapy

What is Class IV Laser Therapy and How Does It Work?

Class IV Laser Therapy is an advanced treatment option that is revolutionizing the Chiropractic, Medical, and Pain Management industries. LASER stands for Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation. Lasers are classified into different levels (I-IV), with Class IV being the most powerful and highly regulated. This cutting-edge therapy has recently been FDA-approved for therapeutic use, providing a non-invasive and highly effective solution for pain relief and tissue healing.

The Science Behind Class IV Laser Therapy

Class IV Laser Therapy works through a process called Photo-biostimulation. In simple terms, when light energy (photons) penetrates human tissue, it stimulates a cascade of physiological changes that lead to the production of ATP (Adenosine Tri-Phosphate)—the primary energy source for cellular function. Increased ATP production results in:

• Reduced Pain: Helps alleviate discomfort by interacting with nerve cells and pain receptors.
• Decreased Inflammation: Reduces swelling and promotes faster recovery.
• Accelerated Tissue Repair: Enhances the body's natural healing process, increasing healing speed up to 3 to 5 times faster.
• Improved Vascular Activity: Promotes blood circulation, enhancing nutrient and oxygen delivery to damaged tissues.
• Enhanced Nerve Function: Helps restore normal nerve signaling and function, especially in neuropathic conditions.

Conditions Treated with Class IV Laser Therapy

Class IV Laser Therapy is effective for treating a wide range of musculoskeletal and neurological conditions, including:

• Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
• Neuropathy
• Failed Back Surgery Syndrome
• Herniated/Bulging Discs
• Degenerative Disc Disease
• Sciatica
• Spinal Stenosis
