• Pain Management
  Class IV laser therapy uses of an intense beam of laser light photons to penetrate into tissues to reduce pain, increase blood flow, promote healing and decrease inflammation. This process is called photobiostimulation, whereby photons of laser light at specific wavelengths penetrate the individual cells and stimulate both the cell membrane and structures within the cells. The photons stimulate the mitochondria of the cells to increase production of energy for the cell in addition to the normalization of the cell function, pain relief and healing.
