Class 4 laser therapy offers several well-known benefits, such as reduced pain and swelling, along with improved range of motion. However, the laser also has some fascinating effects that may not be as immediately noticeable. For instance, it enhances tissue regeneration, which is why it helps you heal more quickly. It also speeds up the repair of both soft tissue and bone. In addition, Class 4 laser therapy can boost nerve regeneration and function, and it stimulates your cells to increase cell metabolism, enzymatic activity, collagen production, and angiogenesis (the formation of new blood vessels). So, while you may walk out of your session feeling better, the therapy continues to work at the cellular level to improve your musculoskeletal health long after you leave the office.

We apply Class 4 laser therapy to a variety of conditions, including chronic knee pain or arthritis, Achilles tendonitis, elbow pain or tendonitis, and chronic wrist pain. Its versatility allows us to treat many injury sites and extremities, providing significant relief to our patients.

You might be curious about what the therapy feels like. Many patients expect it to be painful but are pleasantly surprised to experience only a soothing warmth in the area being treated—definitely no pain. Class 4 laser therapy is completely pain-free, and it can be combined with other treatments, such as dry needling, to enhance its effectiveness.
