Class IV Laser Therapy: A Powerful, Non Invasive Treatment for Pain and Healing
Class IV laser therapy is an advanced, non-invasive treatment used to support healing and reduce pain for a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions. This therapy uses a process called photobiomodulation, in which a focused beam of light with wavelengths near the infrared spectrum penetrates deep into tissues. The light energizes the cells in the targeted area, improving their ability to repair and regenerate. As these cells become more active, they help reduce inflammation, increase circulation, ease discomfort, and accelerate overall healing.
Class IV laser therapy is beneficial for both acute injuries and chronic conditions. Many patients seek this treatment for neck and back pain, shoulder pain, sciatica, disc issues, and soft tissue injuries. It is also widely used for carpal tunnel syndrome, repetitive stress disorders, arthritis, sprains, strains, TMJ pain, bursitis, plantar fasciitis, migraines, and injuries from sports or accidents. Because the therapy enhances the body’s natural healing response, it can be a powerful complement to chiropractic adjustments, neuromuscular therapy, custom orthotics, and other holistic services offered by Dr. Diana Gailes.
One of the major advantages of Class IV laser therapy is its broad range of potential benefits. Patients often experience reduced pain and muscle spasms, increased circulation, improved flexibility, and faster tissue repair. The therapy can help minimize swelling, relax tight muscles, activate the immune system, support nerve regeneration, and improve overall cellular function. These improvements not only help relieve symptoms but also encourage long term recovery and mobility.
Class IV laser therapy is extremely safe and completely pain-free. At Indian Harbor Chiropractic, Dr. Gailes uses FDA approved Aspen laser technology, which meets high safety and quality standards. During treatment, most patients feel only gentle warmth as the laser works to stimulate healing within the tissues.
The recommended treatment schedule depends on your condition, its severity, and your unique goals. Dr. Gailes may suggest several sessions per week or spaced throughout the month. Many patients begin to feel improvements quickly, although full healing may take several visits. Periodic maintenance treatments can help sustain long-lasting results.
