Why LightForce® Class IV Laser?

LightForce® Class IV lasers are designed to deliver powerful, concentrated beams of light that penetrate deep into tissues. This advanced technology allows for shorter treatment times and deeper tissue penetration, enhancing the effectiveness of the therapy. The increased power of Class IV lasers means that patients can experience faster relief and improved outcomes with less time spent in treatment.

Benefits of LightForce® Class IV Laser Therapy:

  • Acute Conditions: Quickly manages pain and supports the healing process for faster, better outcomes.
  • Chronic Conditions: Effective in reducing persistent pain and promoting circulation to damaged tissues, providing a powerful, non-pharmaceutical solution for long-term pain management.
  • Post-Activity Recovery: Widely used by professional sports teams for improving recovery times and reducing delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS).

How It Works:

LightForce® therapy lasers operate through a process known as photobiomodulation (PBM). This involves flooding the tissue with photons, which energizes cells and increases circulation to the injured area, ultimately leading to pain reduction and enhanced healing. This process is scientifically supported and has been shown to be highly effective in treating a variety of conditions.

Common Applications:

  • TMJ
  • Neck and shoulder pain
  • Elbow and joint pain
  • Fibromyalgia
  • Low back pain
  • Sciatica
  • Arthritis
  • Sports injuries
  • Soft tissue damage
  • Plantar fasciitis

Safety and Effectiveness:

LightForce® Class IV lasers are FDA-cleared and adhere to strict ISO standards to ensure safety and efficacy. The therapy is non-invasive and typically involves quick sessions of 3-10 minutes, depending on the condition being treated. Patients often report a soothing warmth during the treatment and a rapid decrease in pain.

Treatment Plan:

Most treatment plans involve 6-12 sessions, with frequency and duration tailored to the individual’s condition and response. The cumulative benefits of laser therapy are well-documented, and your clinician will develop a personalized plan to achieve optimal results.
