Class 4 Laser Therapy near me in The Villages

What is Class 4 laser therapy?

Class 4 laser therapy is a standard of care for several musculoskeletal injuries. In laser therapy, red or near-infrared light is used to create therapeutic effects. The light can help to stimulate specific processes that reduce the symptoms of pain, and inflammation and provide relief. Laser therapy is divided into several Classes from which Class 4 laser generates heat. Laser therapy is an effective way that provides quick recovery and reduces pain.

How does it work?

The wavelength of light used in Class 4 laser is penetrated deeper into the skin as compared to Class 3 laser therapy. So, Class 4 laser therapy is more efficient and provides more benefits. It allows energy to rapidly enter the nerve, ligament, muscles, and tissue. Hence, the session may last for 2 to 6 minutes. Class 4 laser therapy stimulates the production of ATP and can accelerate the healing process of cells. When ATP production increases, it improves the symptoms of pain, inflammation, and range of motion.

Basics of laser therapy

Effective laser therapy administration is a direct function of the power of the laser light and dose delivered. Administering the optimal treatment dose to patients produces consistent positive outcomes. Class V therapy lasers provide a deeper depth of tissue penetration and ultimately provide a dose that results in positive reproducible outcomes. Higher wattage also results in
faster treatment times and provides results unachievable with low wattage lasers. These lasers provide a level of versatility unrivaled by other Class I, II, III and IV lasers due to their ability to treat both superficial and deep tissue conditions. Legacy Clinic offers a class V 60 watt laser.
