Class IV Laser Therapy

Our Class IV Laser is a non-invasive, drug-free alternative that is medically proven to relieve chronic pain while boosting your body’s natural ability to heal. Laser therapy has been highly beneficial to patients seeking rehabilitation, especially when it comes to healing muscles. Our Class IV Laser is a powerful treatment that penetrates the injured or affected tissue with high-energy lightwaves.

Cells naturally respond positively to waves of light, especially when it comes to healing the body. Our DIOWAVE laser therapy works by harnessing the natural phenomenon of photobiostimulation, or how our cells react to light waves. The laser we use delivers a concentrated dose of light to your body. This light triggers your body’s cells to produce more ATP. ATP stands for Adenosine Tri-Phosphate and is the substance in your body that is responsible for cellular energy production.

How Our Class IV Laser Benefits You

Our laser will work to penetrate your affected or injured tissue with powerful light therapy to speed up healing to the site. With more blood flow to the affected site, more nutrients can work to heal the area quicker. A concentrated dose of light will also trigger the body’s production of ATP, which increases cellular energy production. When your body’s cells produce more ATP, this generates a cascade of positive cellular effects. Your blood circulation will improve and your DNA/RNA activity with heighten. The light will also help intensify your collagen production, diminish inflammation, optimize cellular regeneration and accelerate healing. The healing aspect is why we use laser therapy for so many ailments such as:

• Plantar Fasciitis
• Arthritis
• Herniated Discs
• Tendinosis and Tendinitis
• Shin Splints
• Stress Fractures
• Neck, Back, and Leg Pain
• Sciatica
• Ligament Tears
• Runner’s Knee
• Hip Discomfort
• Nerve Injury or Damage
• Post-Op Healing
• Bunions
• Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
• Tennis and Golfer’s Elbow
• Rotator Cuff Strains and Tears
• TMJ
• Bone Spurs

How The Laser Works

Because our laser therapy involves lasers, you will wear protective eye gear to shield your eyes. We then apply the DIOWAVE laser directly to the affected area of your body. Our patients generally feel warm and soothing sensations where the laser is applied. Some patients report that the laser feels like a gentle massage. Our laser is gentle and pain-free, and can help you feel decreased muscle tension and cramping during your session. You may also feel immediate effects of diminished inflammation and a better range-of-motion with your treatment.

Pain Relief without Narcotics

Why is it so important to seek out natural methods of pain relief? Conventional treatments for chronic pain can often be ineffective. Many methods of pain relieve don’t enhance the body’s healing process, but rather, focus on managing the symptoms. Patients can have their symptoms managed with narcotics or other methods without actually treating the cause of the problem. Pharmaceutical drugs may also relieve pain in one area, without relieving it in another. It is a guessing game. Surgery as well is not always effective and generally involves heavy narcotic pain medicines throughout healing. Seeking pain relief without the use of narcotics will benefit you the most in the long run.

Your body can stay healthier without the use of narcotic pain medicines. These medicines can become addicting even with the first use. The CDC reports that deaths involving prescription opioids have quadrupled since 1999. Around 200,000 people in the U.S. have died from opioid overdoses since 1999, many of them accidental. In 2014, almost 2 million Americans became dependent or addicted to opioid medications. Each day around 1,000 people are also treated in emergency rooms for not using narcotic pain medications correctly. There are so many risks of dependency or overdose when it comes to pain relief medicines. Using non-narcotic pain-relief methods such as laser therapy is a great way to actually treat the source of your problem without risk of overdose or dependency.
