What Is Class IV Laser Therapy?
Class IV laser therapy is a non-invasive treatment used to reduce pain, decrease inflammation, and accelerate healing. At Recharge Sports Injury Center, this advanced technology is used to help patients recover from both acute injuries and chronic conditions without relying on medication or surgery.
Class IV laser therapy uses concentrated light energy to stimulate the body’s natural healing processes.
The laser penetrates deep into the tissue, increasing circulation, reducing inflammation, and promoting cellular repair. This allows damaged tissue to heal more efficiently while also providing pain relief.
It is a safe, drug-free treatment that is commonly used for musculoskeletal injuries and nerve-related conditions.
What Class IV Laser Therapy Can Help Treat
Class IV laser therapy is effective for a wide range of conditions, especially those involving inflammation, nerve irritation, or slow healing. These include:
It is often recommended for patients dealing with chronic pain or those looking for a non-invasive alternative to more aggressive treatments.
How Is Class IV Laser Therapy Performed?
During treatment, a handheld laser device is applied directly to the affected area. The laser delivers focused light energy into the tissue for several minutes, depending on the size and location of the area being treated.
Patients typically feel a gentle warming sensation during the session. Treatments are quick, often lasting between five and ten minutes.
There is no downtime after treatment. Most patients can return to normal activity immediately, making it a convenient option for busy schedules.
What to Expect from Class IV Laser Therapy
Some patients notice relief after the first session, while others experience gradual improvement over a series of treatments as healing progresses.
Class IV laser therapy is often combined with other treatments at Recharge Sports Injury Center to address both the source of pain and the surrounding tissue.
