How Class IV Laser Therapy Works


Laser therapy has been a medical tool for some time now. Depending on the wavelength of laser energy used and the manner of application, its uses can stimulate cellular activities and healing, or attack and eradicate fungus within the nails.


With Remy’s Class IV system, we have these wide variety of applications within one unit. We can adjust the lasers and manner of application to fit a wide range of patient needs. And since it does not damage healthy tissue, require the use of drugs, and has extremely low complication risk, laser treatment can easily be recommended as a primary or supporting part of an overall treatment plan for almost anyone.

Several laser treatment sessions are often scheduled out over a course of weeks, largely depending on the type and severity of the condition being addressed.


Let’s further explore how our Class IV laser can be helpful in various situations.

Laser Treatment for Acute Injuries and Pain
Laser therapy has frequently been a treatment option for soft tissue injuries such as tendinitis, strains, sprains, and plantar fasciitis, among others.
In such cases, laser energy is directed into the site of an injury. This triggers several beneficial responses from the body, including:
Increased cellular reproduction and growth
Increased blood flow to the area (bringing more of what cells need for repairs)
Decreased inflammation
Decreased pain

Laser Treatment for Chronic Pain


A cause of pain does not necessarily need to be recent for laser therapy to be an effective course of treatment.
In many cases, chronic pain is the result of a stalled healing process that was never fully completed. Some form of obstacle or complication contests the body’s ability to heal, and the cells can eventually “give up.”


Laser treatment can restimulate the healing process in these cells, just like it accelerates the healing process that cells may already be under way for a recent injury. If we also make sure the underlying complications are addressed as well, laser therapy can often provide the long-term relief patients need.


Laser Treatment for Nerve Pain


Nerve pain can be caused by neuromas, pinched nerves, or peripheral neuropathy due to diabetic complications or other factors. On a case-by-case basis, we may consider using the Class IV laser as a means of reducing pain and aiding recovery.
