Class IV Laser Therapy in West Los Angeles
Experience Powerful Pain Relief With Class IV Laser Therapy
Class IV Laser TherapyClass IV laser therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses therapeutic light energy to help reduce pain and inflammation and support tissue recovery. At Dr. Jack Li Chiropractic in West LA, Class IV laser therapy may be recommended for musculoskeletal injuries, joint pain, tendon conditions, and sports-related injuries. Treatment is selected based on each patient's condition and clinical needs. How Does Class IV Laser Therapy Work? Class IV laser therapy uses therapeutic light energy to stimulate a biological process known as photobiomodulation. Laser energy is delivered to the targeted treatment area to support cellular activity and the body's natural healing processes. The higher power output of a Class IV laser allows therapeutic energy to be efficiently delivered to larger and deeper musculoskeletal treatment areas. Our Class IV laser system utilizes a 980 nm diode laser to deliver therapeutic light energy to targeted musculoskeletal tissues.
