Class 4 Laser Therapy

High-power therapeutic laser that reaches deep into tissue to calm pain and inflammation and accelerate the body’s own repair — no needles, no downtime.

What Class 4 laser therapy is — and why it works.

Class 4 therapeutic lasers deliver concentrated light energy deep into muscle, tendon and joint tissue — a process called photobiomodulation. That energy is absorbed by your cells and converted into the fuel (ATP) they use to repair, helping to reduce pain and inflammation, improve circulation and speed the healing of soft-tissue injuries.

Unlike low-power lasers, a Class 4 system delivers enough energy to treat deeper structures in a comfortable, in-office session. It’s non-invasive and drug-free, and we often combine it with orthobiologic treatments such as PRP or bone-marrow concentrate to support recovery between visits.

Comfortable & drug-free

A non-invasive boost to your body’s own healing.

Most patients feel only a gentle warmth — and many notice less pain and stiffness within a few sessions.

Each session is tailored to your condition and delivered by our clinical team. Laser therapy is used on its own for many soft-tissue and joint conditions, and alongside regenerative treatments to support the repair process.

What it can help with

  • Tendon and ligament injuries — tennis/golfer’s elbow, Achilles, rotator cuff
  • Osteoarthritis pain and joint stiffness
  • Back and neck pain
  • Muscle strains and sports injuries
  • Inflammation and slow-healing soft-tissue injuries
  • Recovery support alongside PRP or bone-marrow concentrate

Class 4 laser therapy — common questions

Does it hurt?
No. Most people feel a soothing warmth over the treatment area. There are no needles and no anesthetic required.
How many sessions will I need?
It depends on the condition and how long you’ve had it. Many patients are treated over a short series of sessions; we’ll map out a plan after your evaluation.
Is there any downtime?
None. Laser therapy is non-invasive — you can return to your day right after a session.
Can it be combined with other treatments?
Yes. We frequently pair Class 4 laser with orthobiologic treatments like PRP or BMAC to support healing between visits.
