Why Is Laser Therapy in My Treatment Plan?
If your doctor has recommended Class IV Laser Therapy as part of your treatment plan, you may be wondering: What does the laser do—and why do I need it?
Chiropractic adjustments help address joint movement and function, while laser therapy gives us another tool to work with the painful, inflamed, or injured tissues surrounding those areas.
Class IV Laser Therapy uses specific wavelengths of light that pe*****te into the tissues and stimulate cellular activity. This process, often called photobiomodulation, can help reduce pain and inflammation, improve circulation, and support the body's natural tissue-repair processes.
Depending on your condition, we may recommend laser therapy for things like:
🔹 Neck and back pain
🔹 Muscle strains and sprains
🔹 Joint pain and inflammation
🔹 Tendon and ligament injuries
🔹 Sports and repetitive-use injuries
🔹 Arthritis-related discomfort
🔹 Other acute or chronic musculoskeletal conditions
So why combine it with chiropractic care?
Because sometimes restoring movement is only part of the picture. If the muscles, tendons, ligaments, or other tissues around an area are irritated or injured, addressing those tissues may help support your overall recovery.
