Class IV Laser Therapy

---

Class IV laser therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses high-powered lasers to stimulate healing and reduce pain and inflammation in the body. Here are some of the benefits of Class IV laser therapy:

1. Reduces pain: Class IV laser therapy can reduce pain by promoting the release of natural painkillers in the body and decreasing inflammation.
2. Accelerates healing: The high-powered lasers used in Class IV laser therapy can penetrate deep into the tissue to stimulate healing at the cellular level. This can help reduce recovery time and improve overall healing.
3. Increases range of motion: By reducing pain and inflammation, Class IV laser therapy can help increase range of motion and improve flexibility in the affected area.
4. Non-invasive: Unlike surgery or other invasive procedures, Class IV laser therapy is non-invasive and does not require any incisions or anesthesia.
5. Safe: Class IV laser therapy is a safe and effective treatment option for a wide range of conditions, and it is backed by extensive research and clinical studies.

Anti-Inflammation

Laser therapy has an anti-edemic effect as it causes vasodilation, but also because it activates the lymphatic drainage system (drains swollen areas). As a result, there is a reduction in swelling caused by bruising or inflammation

Anti-Pain (analgesic)

Laser therapy has a high beneficial effect on nerve cells which block pain transmitted by these cells to the brain and which decreases nerve sensitivity. Also due to less inflammation, there is less edema and less pain. 

Accelerated Tissue Repair and Cell Growth

Photons of light from laser penetrate deeply into tissue and accelerate cellular reproduction and growth. The laser light increases the energy available to the cell so that the cell can take on nutrients faster and get rid of waste production. 

Improved vascular activity

Laser light will significantly increase the formation of new capillaries in damaged tissue that speed up the healing process, closes wounds quickly and reduces scar tissue. 

Increased metabolic activity

Laser therapy creates higher outputs of specific enzymes, greater oxygen and food particle loads for blood cells. 

Trigger point and acupuncture points

Laser therapy stimulates muscle trigger points and acupuncture points on a non-invasive basis providing musculoskeletal pain relief.
