Understanding Class IV Laser Therapy: A Game Changer in Chiropractic Care

When it comes to innovative treatments in chiropractic care, Class IV Laser Therapy stands out as a cutting-edge solution for managing pain and promoting healing. This non-invasive therapy has been gaining popularity for its ability to deliver fast, effective relief while improving the body’s natural recovery process. At Indian Harbor Chiropractic, we’re excited to bring this advanced technology to our patients, helping them achieve optimal wellness.

What Is Class IV Laser Therapy?

Class IV Laser Therapy uses a high-powered laser to penetrate deep into the tissues, delivering targeted energy that stimulates cellular repair and reduces inflammation. Unlike lower-class lasers, Class IV lasers offer a higher power output, enabling deeper penetration and quicker treatment times.
 

The process works through photobiomodulation, where light energy is absorbed by the cells, boosting mitochondrial activity and triggering the production of ATP (adenosine triphosphate). This energy boost accelerates healing and reduces pain, swelling, and stiffness in the treated area.
 

What to Expect During a Class IV Laser Therapy Session

After a consultation to evaluate your condition, we’ll guide the laser device over the targeted area. Most sessions last between 5 and 15 minutes, depending on the treatment area. Patients often describe the experience as a warm sensation without discomfort. The number of sessions required varies based on the severity of your condition, but many patients experience significant improvement within a few treatments.
