Class 4 laser therapy

FDA-approved deep-tissue laser for pain relief and faster recovery.

DECREASES PAIN, INFLAMMATION AND PROMOTES HEALING.

Safe and non-invasive treatment

Whether it is a new injury or a long-standing one, the goal of any treatment should always be to get you back to pain-free function as soon as possible. To do that quickly, you need something that helps to speed up healing time and simultaneously reduces pain and inflammation.

Class 4 Laser Therapy can help

Class 4 Laser Therapy is a medical deep tissue treatment that uses focused light to decrease pain and swelling and speed up recovery in injured tissues. This treatment is FDA approved and provides you with a non-invasive, non-pharmacological alternative for pain relief.

Watch the video to learn how Class 4 Laser Therapy works, and how it is different from the typical lasers used in the majority of clinics.

How Laser Therapy works

Through a process called “photobiomodulation“, Class 4 Laser Therapy stimulates the injured tissues to produce more energy for healing, to dilate the vessels to promote clearance of inflammation and to block pain impulses from reaching the brain.

Not all lasers are created equal

You may have experienced laser treatment in the past with questionable results. What is important to understand is that most clinics utilize “Class 3” lasers. These do work, but their ability to penetrate to the deeper tissues, such as muscles, joints and nerves, is usually quite limited.

Laser Therapy is effective at decreasing pain and inflammation and promoting faster healing. Therefore, if applied properly for the specific ailment, and if delivered with the right equipment, it can likely help manage most injuries.

Countless scientific studies have examined the use of Laser Therapy in the management of various conditions. Here is a list of conditions that have scientifically been shown to be treated effectively with lasers:

Most studies have demonstrated that Laser Therapy can be used successfully as a stand-alone treatment. However, we always recommend using Class 4 deep tissue Laser Therapy as an adjunct to a comprehensive injury plan of management.

What can be treated with Laser Therapy?

• Feel you can be a better/fitter version of yourself, but are unsure how to get there?

• Having a hard time keeping up with your family due to a lack of energy and fitness?

• Worried about injuries (past/present/future)?

What a treatment looks like

Laser Therapy is a non-invasive treatment modality. While we utilize a high power Class 4 laser (Deep Tissue Laser), our healthcare providers have been trained to administer the therapy so that it is 100% risk-free.

All you will feel is a deep, warm and soothing sensation.
