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.
