Class IV Laser Therapy

A non-invasive treatment that uses therapeutic light energy to help reduce pain, improve circulation, and support recovery from muscle, joint, and soft tissue injuries.

What Is Class IV Laser Therapy?

Class IV Laser Therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses specific wavelengths of light to deliver therapeutic energy to injured tissues. The light penetrates the skin and underlying tissues, where it may help support the body's natural healing processes and reduce pain and inflammation.

Class IV lasers are commonly used in chiropractic, physical medicine, and rehabilitation settings as part of a comprehensive treatment plan for musculoskeletal conditions.

How Does Class IV Laser Therapy Work?

During treatment, light energy is delivered to the affected area using a handheld laser device. This energy is absorbed by cells within the tissue and may help support normal cellular activity and circulation.

Treatment is typically focused on muscles, tendons, ligaments, joints, and other soft tissues. Sessions are generally short, and many patients find the treatment comfortable.
