Class IV Laser Therapy

A Class IV therapy laser is a high-powered medical laser designed to deliver therapeutic light energy deep into tissues.
It promotes faster healing by stimulating cellular activity and improving circulation.

Laser therapy works through photobiomodulation—using light energy to stimulate cellular repair, increase ATP production, and reduce inflammation at the tissue level.

It is commonly used for:

• Acute and chronic pain
   
• Soft-tissue injuries
   
• Tendon and ligament inflammation
   
• Muscle strains
   
• Joint pain
   
• Nerve irritation
   
• Post-surgical or post-injury recovery

No.
Most patients feel a gentle warming sensation, but treatment is generally comfortable and non-invasive.

Most treatments take 15-20 minutes depending on the size and depth of the area.

Some patients feel relief after the first session.
Acute conditions often respond within 1–3 sessions, while chronic issues may require 6–10 sessions.

Yes.
It is FDA-cleared, non-invasive, and safe when administered by trained professionals.
Protective eyewear is used for safety.

Class IV lasers deliver higher power and deeper tissue penetration, resulting in:

• Faster reduction of inflammation
   
• More significant pain relief
   
• Greater therapeutic effect in deeper structures
   

Low-level lasers treat more superficial tissues.

Yes.
It is commonly used alongside manual therapy, rehabilitation exercises, and other modalities because it enhances tissue healing and reduces inflammation.

Side effects are rare and mild, such as temporary warmth or redness.
Contraindications may include:

• Active cancer in the treatment area
   
• Pregnancy (over abdomen or low back)
   
• Direct laser use over the eyes or thyroid
  A clinician will screen for safety before treatment.
