Class 4 laser therapy has evolved from a futuristic concept to a standard care practice for numerous musculoskeletal injuries. By utilizing specific wavelengths of light, such as red and near-infrared, laser therapy generates therapeutic effects. The transmitted light from the laser stimulates various bodily processes, contributing to the alleviation of symptoms like pain, swelling, and limited range of motion.

By employing Class 4 laser therapy, the production of ATP (adenosine triphosphate) within our cells is stimulated, which in turn energizes numerous cellular processes. This heightened ATP production plays a vital role in expediting the healing process at a cellular level. Consequently, patients experience notable improvements in their symptoms, such as diminished pain, reduced swelling, and enhanced range of motion. Additionally, the comforting heat emitted by the laser adds to the overall soothing effect of the treatment.

Class 4 laser therapy offers a range of noticeable benefits, such as pain reduction, decreased swelling, and enhanced range of motion. However, the effects of a class 4 laser extend beyond these apparent improvements. It stimulates tissue regeneration, leading to accelerated healing and facilitating the repair of both soft tissue and bone. Moreover, this form of laser therapy has the potential to enhance nerve regeneration and function. It also influences cellular activity by increasing cell metabolism, promoting enzymatic responses, boosting collagen production, and facilitating angiogenesis—the formation of new blood vessels. Hence, while you may walk away from a session of class 4 laser therapy feeling better, the therapeutic effects continue to work at a cellular level, benefiting your musculoskeletal health even after you have left the office.
