The Science Behind Class IV Laser Therapy
The Science Behind Class IV Laser Therapy
You don’t have to simply live with ongoing pain or an old injury that never seems to fully heal. At The Healing Joint, we’ve seen many patients experience meaningful pain relief and improvement in stubborn, long-standing injuries with Class IV laser therapy.
This comfortable, noninvasive treatment uses targeted red and near-infrared light—a process called photobiomodulation—to support the body’s natural healing processes. It may help reduce pain and inflammation while supporting the recovery of muscles, tendons, ligaments, and other soft tissues. Results vary, so Dr. Derakhshani evaluates each patient to determine whether laser therapy is appropriate for their condition.
What Is Class IV Red Light Laser Therapy?
Kate’s Experience With Class IV Laser Therapy
Patient Case: Foot-Wound Progress After Three Laser Sessions
A patient with diabetic neuropathy came to us with a persistent ulcer on the bottom of his foot. He reported that it had not been improving despite antibiotics and topical wound care prescribed by his foot doctor.
Class IV laser therapy was added to his existing care. According to the patient, laser therapy was the only change made during the following week. After three sessions, the follow-up photograph documented a visible change in the appearance of the affected area.
This is one patient’s experience. Individual results vary. Class IV laser therapy is not a replacement for evaluation and treatment by a physician or wound-care specialist.
How Class IV Laser Therapy Supports Pain Relief and Injury Recovery
Class IV laser therapy is a comfortable, noninvasive, drug-free treatment that delivers concentrated red and near-infrared light to targeted tissues. It is used to help manage pain and support recovery from muscle, tendon, ligament, and other soft-tissue injuries. Many patients include it in a personalized treatment plan for recent injuries or stubborn chronic pain. Results vary, and Dr. Derakhshani evaluates each patient to determine whether laser therapy is appropriate for their condition.
How Photobiomodulation Supports Pain Relief and Recovery
Cellular Energy and Tissue Repair
Class IV laser therapy delivers red and near-infrared light to targeted tissue. Light-sensitive components within cells absorb this energy and influence mitochondrial activity, including the production of ATP—the energy cells use to perform their normal functions. These cellular responses support processes involved in cell signaling, protein production, and tissue repair.
Inflammation and Swelling
Photobiomodulation can influence chemical signals involved in the body’s inflammatory response. By helping regulate these processes, treatment can support a reduction in inflammation, swelling, and the discomfort associated with them.
Pain Modulation
Photobiomodulation can affect inflammatory pathways and how local nerves transmit pain signals. This can help reduce sensitivity and make movement more comfortable as part of a personalized treatment and rehabilitation plan.
Local Circulation
Photobiomodulation can influence nitric oxide and blood-vessel responses, supporting local circulation. Healthy circulation helps deliver the oxygen and nutrients needed by recovering muscles, tendons, ligaments, and other soft tissues.
Individual responses vary, and benefits depend on the condition, treatment settings, and overall care plan. Dr. Derakhshani evaluates each patient to determine whether Class IV laser therapy is appropriate.
Patient FAQs About Class IV Laser Therapy
- Q: Is Class IV Laser Therapy Safe and Can It Be Used Over Metal Implants?
- A: Class IV Laser therapy is one of the safest options available with practically zero negative side effects. Safety goggles are required for eye protection. Because this technology is photochemical and not thermal, there is no danger to administer over metal implants.
- Q: How Long Do Treatments Take and How Many Treatments Are Needed?
- A: Treatment time is dependent on the size of the affected area and the severity of pain, however, most treatments are no more than ten minutes. Typically no less than six treatment sessions are recommended for desired long-term effects.
- Q: How Is Class IV Laser Therapy Superior To Other Pain Management Modalities?
- A: Patients often have anxiety regarding cortisone injections as they may have a fear of needles in addition to the general discomfort of the injection itself. Pill-form painkillers have high addiction rates and other negative, long-term physiological effects. Topical analgesics, cortisone injections and opioids do not heal at the cellular level, making pain relief temporary.
Laser therapy is needle-free, pain-free, drug-free and regenerates cells so that the body can heal itself naturally. This results in real, lasting effects vs. temporary “masking” of pain.
