Class IV Laser Therapy

Gentle, drug-free help that keeps you moving

If pain keeps hijacking your routine—shortening walks, ruining sleep, derailing rehab—Class IV laser is a practical way to get momentum back. It uses high-power therapeutic light to bathe irritated tissues in photons your cells can actually use. Translation: more cellular “fuel,” better local blood flow, and less sensitivity—often enough relief to help you stick with the plan (walking, strengthening, better sleep). Sessions are quick, comfortable, and require no downtime. We position laser as a helper, not a miracle cure. It won’t rebuild a torn tendon or reverse arthritis, but it often reduces day-to-day pain and stiffness so your primary treatment (PRP, ESWT, targeted loading) can work.

What is Class IV Laser Therapy and how it works

Class IV laser is a therapeutic device that delivers specific wavelengths of light at higher power than low-level “cold lasers.” That light penetrates soft tissues and is absorbed by cellular structures—especially the mitochondria (your cells’ “batteries”). This process (called photobiomodulation) can:

None of this is magic; it’s physiology. Laser doesn’t replace rehab; it protects your ability to do rehab consistently when pain would otherwise knock you off schedule.

Who it helps (and when)

Tendon and fascia pain: Achilles, patellar, tennis elbow, gluteal tendons, plantar fascia—especially when sore, tight tissue makes loading difficult.

Arthritic flare-ups: Knees, hips, shoulders, or spine-adjacent soft tissues where stiffness and ache limit daily activity.

After biologic injections: Eases post-PRP or A2M soreness so you can stick to the graded loading plan.

Acute strains/sprains (post-assessment): Once serious injury is ruled out, laser provides a gentler on-ramp back to movement.

Later post-op phases (with surgeon’s OK): Comfort support while you rebuild motion and strength.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many sessions do I need?

Most people do 2–6. If we don’t see value by our checkpoints, we stop or change course.

Can I combine it with injections or PT?

Yes—and that’s often where it shines.

How fast will I feel better?

Some feel easier movement immediately; others need a couple of sessions. The key is pairing laser with the right plan between visits.
