Helpful Applications of Class IV Laser Therapy


By Dr. Gary Gendron

The first theory pertaining to the use of laser therapy was described in 1916 by Albert Einstein, and would prompt the development of the therapeutic laser that we use today for pain. In 1967, a professor of medicine discovered that accelerated wound healing occurred with a low intensity laser. In the late 1970's the diode laser was invented. This allows high wattage lasers to be more readily affordable and the invention of class IV laser therapy revolutionized modern society.

Class IV laser therapy uses a type of laser that is also known as the k-laser. This laser is specifically engineered for highly therapeutic use. Class IV laser therapy is a medical breakthrough, and is now being widely used to treat pain that is resistant to other forms of treatment.

Although class IV laser therapy is a non- invasive form of treatment, these lasers are capable of penetrating five inches in from the skin's surface. This is quite a significant change from past devices in which the light and energy of the laser could not reach as far.

Class IV laser therapy is a much more powerful form of treatment than laser therapy used in years past, and it is now FDA approved and considered a safe form of treatment by many practitioners. Class IV laser therapy makes use of radiant light and energy to activate the healing process in the body. Class IV laser therapy can also boost the immune system and heal tissue beneath the surface, which reduces the need for further operations.

This form of treatment also has many advantages over other methods and medications as well, in that there are no side effects, and those with chronic pain and debilitating conditions can lead longer, healthier, and happier lives. Class IV laser therapy can even heal scar tissue and muscle damage that is deep beneath the surface, something that is seldom achieved without invasive surgeries. The Class IV laser therapy also stimulates the immune system and increases the blood supply to heal ligaments and joints.

The scientific breakthrough that has brought class IV laser therapy to the forefront of pain management and treatment of a number of major disorders has not only revolutionized medicine, but has also brought substantial relief to a number of patients. Class IV laser therapy is recommended for those with major injuries where pain management is required and also for those diagnosed with immune related conditions and any other health condition which produces chronic pain.
