Class IV laser therapy is one of the most safe and effective ways to treat various conditions that create pain and discomfort. Laser therapy has a vast amount of benefits, including:
- Accelerated cellular reproduction and growth – which is key in repairing the cells of cartilage, bone, tendons, ligaments, and muscle tissue.
- Reduced scar tissue that typically develops from specific injuries. When patients have less scar tissue, the likelihood of chronic pain is also reduced.
- Decreased inflammation and increased blood circulation
Additionally, laser therapy is a drug-free treatment option and typically provides desired, long-lasting relief compared to other modalities.
Understanding Laser Therapy for Pain Management
Millions of Americans suffer various types of pain. Class IV laser therapy is used for the relief of pain, to accelerate healing, and to decrease inflammation.
When the light source is placed against the skin, photons penetrate several centimeters down and are absorbed by the mitochondria (the energy-producing part of a cell). This energy restores normal cell function.
The main goal of laser therapy is to stimulate the cell to perform its natural functions but at an enhanced rate.
Laser therapy is a quick and easy treatment that allows patients to relax during the procedure. In contrast to “cold lasers,” which provide no feeling or sensation, high-power diode laser therapy provides a warm, soothing feeling.
Common areas we treat with the class IV laser include:
- low back pain and stiffness
- neck and upper back pain and stiffness
- mid back pain and stiffness
- headaches and migraines
- leg pain, weakness, numbness and tingling
- arm pain, weakness, numbness, and tingling
- extremity joint pain and dysfunction
- carpal tunnel syndrome
