Class IV Laser Therapy
A non-invasive, drug-free way to help reduce pain, inflammation, and support your body's natural healing process.
Why Are Lasers Used for Therapy?
Class IV lasers are high-powered therapeutic devices that use specific wavelengths of light to penetrate deep into tissue. This creates a process called photobiomodulation, helping to promote healing and reduce pain.
Unlike lower-class lasers often used for minor skin procedures or hair removal, Class IV lasers are designed for therapeutic applications in healthcare settings. The laser energy can increase circulation, reduce inflammation, and stimulate cell regeneration—supporting the body's natural healing processes.
At BMSR, Class IV laser therapy can be incorporated into your rehabilitation plan or offered as a stand-alone treatment package. It is a valuable option for people seeking non-invasive, drug-free pain management and recovery support.
Potential Benefits of Class IV Laser Treatment
Laser therapy is used to support recovery, manage symptoms, and help you move more comfortably.
Supports Tissue Repair
Class IV laser treatment can accelerate tissue repair and cell growth, enhancing the healing process for injuries and wounds.
Reduces Pain & Inflammation
Laser therapy offers a non-invasive, drug-free option that can help reduce inflammation and pain in the affected area.
Improves Circulation & Movement
By increasing blood circulation in the treated area, laser therapy may help improve range of motion, flexibility, and recovery.
Conditions Laser Therapy Can Help Treat
Class IV lasers are commonly used in physical therapy and rehabilitation clinics for a variety of musculoskeletal concerns, including:
- Muscle strains
- Joint pain
- Inflammation
- Arthritis
- Tendonitis
- Injuries and wounds
Laser therapy can be used on its own or alongside other therapies for an individualized approach to recovery.
Professional, Focused Care
Because Class IV lasers have a higher power output, they should only be operated by trained professionals to help ensure safe and effective treatment. Protective eyewear is required for both you and your provider during laser therapy sessions to prevent potential eye damage.
Your BMSR clinician will determine whether laser therapy is appropriate for your goals and may combine it with other physical therapy strategies to help decrease pain and speed up the rehabilitation process.
