Class IV Laser Therapy is a non-surgical method of improving the natural healing processes of the body. This technology is growing among chiropractors and is already being used by professional sports teams because of how effectively it speeds up the healing process. Class IV Laser Therapy can be used to treat a majority of injuries, and it works on muscles, ligaments, and even bones. Best of all, it can be used on any part of the body and requires no preparation on your end. 

How Does Class IV Laser Therapy Work?

Increased Blood Flow

The first step in speeding up the natural healing process of your body is using the laser to increase the temperature of certain body parts to speed up your blood flow. This allows for the toxins and waste in your blood to be transported quicker and disposed of sooner. Essentially, your body is trading this waste for oxygen.

More Oxygen

As your blood cells begin moving faster, they deposit extra oxygen in the areas being targeted. The reason this method is so effective is that your chiropractor can easily target the area that hurts and increase oxygen levels as needed. Then, as more oxygen is deposited in the problem area, more cellular energy (used for recovery) is created.

Cellular Energy

Once this extra oxygen is out of the blood stream and processed by your body, it becomes cellular energy. Just as Class IV Laser Therapy is used to speed up blood flow, it also increases the speed at which cellular energy is created, thus helping your body recover faster.
