Understanding Class IV Laser Therapy For Pain & Inflammation
The Science Behind Class IV Lasers...
-
Class IV Lasers emit electromagnetic light (near-infrared light waves).When we utilize these light waves for healing, the process is called PHOTOBIOMODULATION.
-
Once laser light touches the skin, photons (light particles) penetrate underlying tissue and our cells absorb the light’s energy. This results in an increased production of a molecule called ATP (adenosine triphosphate).
-
ATP is responsible for “carrying” energy in order for other cells to perform their necessary functions. It is, basically, the fuel source for all other cells. When ATP production is increased, studies have shown accelerated cell growth, tissue repair and nerve regeneration – vital criterion for expedited healing and pain relief.
We use The Remy Class IV Laser to treat pain and/or inflammation associated with the following conditions:
Achilles Tendonitis
Ankle Sprains
Arthritis/Gout
Bone Spurs
Bunions
Warts
Wound Healing
Fungal Nails
Plantar Fasciitis
Post-Operative Swelling / Discomfort
Metatarsalgia
Neuromas
Neuropathy
Ankle Tears
THE PAINKILLING EFFECTS OF CLASS IV LASER THERAPY
Class IV Laser therapy is a painless, non-invasive, drug-free modality that has been scientifically documented to significantly reduce, and often completely eliminate pain. The main goal of laser therapy is to stimulate cells to perform their natural functions, but at a rate that expedites healing by up to 300 times faster than normal.
Research Shows Photobiomodulation Results In the Following:
ANTI-INFLAMMATION
BETA-ENDORPHIN RELEASE
ENHANCED BLOOD FLOW
Laser therapy activates the body’s natural lymphatic drainage system, which is necessary to rid excess fluid that collects in response to injury and causes edema/swelling. Heat, redness, discomfort and pain are often associated with swelling. In this sense, Class IV Laser therapy serves as an anti-inflammatory analgesic.
Laser therapy induces stimulation of beta-endorphins – the body’s natural painkiller and stress reliever. Beta-endorphins block the nervous system’s ability to send signals of pain to the brain.
Cell generation caused by photobiomodulation also results in the formation of capillaries within the vascular system, allowing oxygen and key nutrients to travel to damaged tissue faster. This accelerates wound healing and reduces the formation of painful scar tissue.
