Class IV Laser Therapy uses an FDA cleared, non-invasive and painless device that treats pain and inflammation in musculoskeletal conditions. It is highly effective in healing damaged tissue.
How Does It Work?
Class IV Laser Therapy uses an infra-red, electro-magnetic energy that enters the body as photons. This energy elicits a photochemical response in inflamed or damaged tissue. Tissues targeted with laser are stimulated to release production of a cellular enzyme that is critical in the production of ATP.
ATP is the currency of chemical energy in living cells and with increased ATP production, the cells have a greater biological turnover response. This improvement in cellular energy promotes tissue regeneration, repairs damaged tissue, reduces inflammation, increases cell metabolism, and improves vascular activity.
What Conditions Does Class IV Laser Therapy treat?
- Strains/ sprains
- Tendonitis
- Bursitis
- Osteoarthritis
- Joint pain – degenerative joint disease
- Pinched nerves
- Plantar fasciitis
- Rotator cuff injuries
- Carpal tunnel
- Disc bulges/herniations
- Sciatica
- Peripheral neuropathy
- Many more…over 300 musculoskeletal conditions
What To Expect
Laser therapy treatments last between 5-10 minutes depending on the condition being treated. The patient will feel a soothing, warmth as the therapy is administered. Most patients see results after 4-6 treatments. Studies show that laser therapy continues to improve cellular response for 18-24 hours post treatment.
