Class 4 Laser Therapy can get you Better, Quicker

If you’re looking for a modern, effective way to manage pain and promote healing, you may have come across Class 4 Laser Therapy. As a chiropractor in Durban, I’ve seen firsthand the remarkable benefits of this treatment for a variety of conditions, from musculoskeletal pain to chronic inflammation. In this blog post, I’ll take you through what Class 4 Laser Therapy is, how it works, and why it can be a game-changer for your health.

What is Class 4 Laser Therapy?

Class 4 Laser Therapy is a form of high-intensity laser therapy (HILT) that uses specific wavelengths of light to stimulate healing in tissues and reduce pain and inflammation. The term “Class 4” refers to the classification of the laser device, indicating that it is a high-powered therapeutic laser, capable of penetrating deeper into the tissue compared to lower-class lasers. This is a game changer as it allows for much shorter, more effective treatments.

At our clinic in Durban, our Class 4 Laser is able to utilise 4 different wavelengths, which allows us to treat a wide range of conditions. We have had great success in helping our patients manage the debilitating effects of a variety of conditions including spinal disc disease and peripheral neuropathy.

How Does Class 4 Laser Therapy Work?

Laser therapy is based on the principle of photobiomodulation (PBM). When the skin and tissues are exposed to the laser light, it penetrates the surface and is absorbed by the cells. This energy promotes various biological processes within the cells, including:

• Increased circulation: The laser helps stimulate blood flow to the treated area, which enhances oxygen and nutrient delivery to tissues.
• Cell regeneration: Laser light accelerates the production of ATP (adenosine triphosphate), which is the energy source that cells need to repair themselves.
• Reduction of inflammation: It also helps to reduce the activity of inflammatory molecules, leading to decreased swelling and discomfort.
• Pain reduction: The laser can help release endorphins and other neurochemical agents that block pain signals to the brain.

In simple terms, Class 4 Laser Therapy works by promoting healing from the inside out. The light energy stimulates the body’s natural healing processes, allowing it to repair and regenerate damaged tissue more quickly. It also helps reduce pain and inflammation, making it a powerful tool in any chiropractic treatment plan.
