What is Class IV Laser Therapy?

Class IV Laser Therapy uses high-intensity laser light to stimulate the body’s natural healing processes. Unlike the lower grade lasers, which do not penetrate deeper tissues, Class IV lasers can reach deep into the body’s tissues.

This therapy is performed using a handheld device that emits a large beam of laser light, which passes through the skin’s layers to reach damaged cells and tissues.

When the laser light penetrates into the body, it is absorbed by the cells, leading to a series of reactions known as photobiomodulation. This process stimulates the cells to produce more energy (ATP), which enhances their function and promotes faster repair.

The light from the laser also dilates blood vessels and activates the lymphatic drainage system, which reduces inflammation and edema. Additionally, it can lead to the release of endorphins and other pain-killing chemicals in the brain, thereby reducing pain sensations.

This comprehensive approach helps accelerate the healing process and reduces pain associated with various conditions.

What Conditions Can Be Treated with Laser Therapy?

Laser Therapy is versatile and can be used to treat a wide array of conditions, including:

  • Chronic Pain: Including neck pain, back pain, and sciatica.
  • Arthritis: Helps alleviate pain and increase mobility in joints affected by osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.
  • Soft Tissue Injuries: Useful in treating sprains, strains, and tears in muscles, ligaments, and tendons.
  • Inflammation: Effective in managing conditions like bursitis and plantar fasciitis.
  • Wound Healing: Accelerates the healing of open wounds and burns, reducing the risk of infection and scarring.
  • Neuropathy: Assists in nerve regeneration and reduces symptoms of peripheral neuropathy.

Benefits of Class IV Laser Therapy

Class IV Laser Therapy offers numerous benefits over traditional treatment methods:

  • Non-Invasive: No incisions or needles are involved, making it an excellent alternative to surgery.
  • Pain-Free: The therapy is painless, with many patients only feeling a mild, soothing warmth or tingling.
  • No Downtime: After a session, you can return to your normal activities immediately.
  • Safe: Laser therapy has been used for decades and has been proven to be safe through numerous studies.
  • Effective: Many patients experience relief after just a few treatments, and the effects can be long-lasting.

Been meaning to leave a review for months. Dr. Sebastian, Robin and the rest of the team were super helpful in both customer service and alleviating my constant back pain. 7 months after my last treatment I still feel great. I was most impressed by their understanding of my family relocating and them providing reimbursement for the remaining sessions I had. Thanks guys!

I love this place! I found it by divine guidance, and it is certainly the place I needed. I received a massage there and have recently started adjustments with Dr. Sebastian. RELIEF!!! My only complaint is that I went out of town shortly after I started my treatment... cannot wait to resume! It is a well-run, professional, & nurturing business. Do yourself a loving favor & make an appointment there! Your body will thank you.

My back was in such severe pain I visited the emergency room the week before Christmas. After the holiday I scheduled a new patient appointment with Dr. Sebastian. I’ve lived in the area since the 80’s and have always know Dr. Sebastian was one of the best. Several treatments were administered and after the appointment I had immediate pain relief. I’m visiting Dr. Sebastian again today and looking forward to it. Thank you Dr. Sebastian and his team for everything you do.

I came to see Dr. Sebastian for a pinched nerve in my neck. I also had back pain in my lower right quadrant. I was more than a little skeptical, but the pain had become more than a nuisance. Upon examination, he explained his findings in a readily understandable friendly manner. Overtime, the pain was alleviated and I have been pain frèe for about 6 months. Thank you, Doc. Along the way, my lower back pain disappeared too. Thank you, Doc. Hîs staff is excellent and friendly too. I highly recommend the good Doc.

Dr Sebastian is the best chiropractor I have ever used. I've had great results here with treatment of acute sports injuries in my knee and neck. When I started regular visits after my last injury, I found that I felt noticeably better all around, and have suffered far fewer incidents of pain and inflammation after a hard workout than I felt before. Highly recommended.

I made an appointment because my back was bothering me. When I woke up the morning of the appointment my back was ok. I still went to the appointment because I felt I should keep my word. The staff were very friendly and after checking my spine the doctor agreed that I didn’t need further treatment. He called it a consultation and I wasn’t charged anything! Very refreshing! I’ll definitely go back when if I need help.
