Discover why Class 4 Therapy Lasers are a perfect combination treatment with Chiropractic
The Class 4 laser utilizes a special design, which incorporates fiber optics and high power laser diodes to deliver more power, deeper penetration, faster treatments and superior performance, compared to cold lasers, for a wide range of difficult to treat conditions. Typically, single laser diodes over 500 milliwatts are considered class 4, however the reality is that for maximum performance and superior results, High Intensity Laser Therapy (HILT) is solution. HILT produces the most impressive results in the fastest amount of time, typically 3-10 minutes. HILT can only be delivered from lasers that are significantly more powerful, in the range of 30 to 60 Watts of output, as a Continuous Wave (CW). This means the intensity of the light that the laser sends out is both brighter and stronger than previously used red low level lasers and all cold lasers in general.
3 Important Educational Facts to Consider:
• Cold Lasers, aka Low Level Lasers deliver power in milliwatts (mW). Most cold laser diodes deliver power between 5mW and 500mW.
• There are 1000mW in 1 Watt. Class 4 Therapy Lasers deliver power in Watts. A 30W laser can deliver up to 30,000mW. More Power (mW or W) equals faster and deeper treatments.
• Red lasers only penetrate 1-2″ into the body. Infrared lasers, while mostly invisible to the human eye, deliver photons up to 6″ into the body, to better reach even the deepest target tissues.
High-powered Class 4 lasers are the perfect compliment to manual therapy adjustments and can play a major role in effectively treating a large number of conditions including:
- All types of pain
- Reducing excess inflammation
- Repetitive stress disorders
- Injuries after a car accident
- Spinal complication and subluxations
- Relaxing contracted muscles
- Arthritis
- Sprains
- Strains
- Other acute injuries
The Benefits of Chiropractic Laser Therapy Include:
- Improves and promotes healing & tissue repair
- Reduces pain and spasm
- Increases joint flexibility and range of motion
- Reduces symptoms of osteoarthritis
- Improves peripheral microcirculation
- Detoxifies and eliminates trigger points
- Reduces inflammation
- Speeds recovery time
- Increases circulation
- Stimulates the immune system
- Relaxes muscles
- Improves vascular activity
- Accelerates cell reproduction and growth
- Stimulates nerve regeneration
- Increases metabolic activity
- Increases recovery from nerve injury
- Reduces pain in post-herpetic neuralgia
- Increases speed of recovery, with better quality and stronger tissues
