What is Class IV Laser Therapy?
Class IV laser (also called high-power laser or photobiomodulation) delivers focused light energy deep into tissue. That light is absorbed by mitochondria in injured cells, increasing ATP production and accelerating the body's natural repair process.
Common Uses
- Tendonitis and tendinopathy (shoulder, elbow, knee, Achilles)
- Plantar fasciitis
- Sprains, strains, and sports injuries
- Arthritis-related joint pain
- Post-surgical recovery
- Disc-related pain (in combination with decompression)
What Treatment Feels Like
Sessions take 5–15 minutes per area. Most patients feel a comfortable warmth and notice reduced pain and stiffness within a handful of visits.
Why Combine It With Chiropractic?
Adjustments restore motion and alignment; laser accelerates healing of the soft tissues around the joint. Together they produce faster, longer-lasting results than either alone.
