Class IV Laser Therapy at Family Chiropractic
Our practice proudly offers Class IV Laser Therapy in combination with chiropractic care. Laser Therapy, also known as Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT), uses modern technology to encourage the body to heal at a cellular level. It promotes the regrowth of healthy cells by transmitting specific wavelengths of light into the body.
Laser Therapy can be done with a number of laser machines. Here at Family Chiropractic, we use the state-of-the-art Class IV Laser to give our patients the best chance at complete healing. Unlike earlier technologies, patients can feel the Class IV Laser as it works. This painless, warm sensation has been associated with a variety of health benefits.

What Is Laser Therapy?
Laser Therapy requires a low-level laser to stimulate cellular regeneration. It focuses on bringing damaged cells back to life-ultimately, increasing healing energy in the body. This is done by locating the source of your discomfort and applying light to the target area. The body tissue then absorbs the light, which causes unhealthy cells to have a physiological reaction that leads to regrowth.
For LLLT to work, specific wavelengths must be used. To penetrate the outer tissue, we most commonly use wavelengths between 600 and 700 nanometers (nm). Deeper penetration may call for wavelengths anywhere from 780 nm to 950 nm. Rest assured, Cold Laser Therapy is not harmful.
Class IV Laser Therapy has been known to help people with complaints both big and small. Some common conditions that bring patients into our practice for LLLT include
- Neck pain
- Back pain
- Shoulder pain
- Muscle and ligament strains
- Tennis elbow
- Plantar fasciitis
- Sciatica
- Tendonitis
- Bursitis
We understand the nerves that may accompany your first go at Laser Therapy. You can be confident that with us, you are in the best hands. Our laser technician is highly skilled and will explain the procedure prior to administering care. Be sure to communicate any questions or concerns that arise during your appointment. We are happy to clarify the ins and outs of LLLT and help you feel as comfortable as possible moving forward!
Family Chiropractic uses Class IV Laser Therapy as an adjunct to chiropractic care. When it is used on top of chiropractic care, we find that our patients feel better longer. Chiropractic care realigns the body and LLLT pinpoints and corrects specific problem areas.

No, laser therapy does not hurt. You will only feel a warm sensation or slight tingling. This is the body’s natural response to nerves being stimulated. It will go away shortly after your appointment.
Does the Class IV Laser rely on medication?
The Class IV Laser works without the use of any medication. It is a drug-free therapy that is rooted in natural healing.
How often is LLLT necessary?
Every patient heals at a different rate. Frequency of care will be determined based on your response to cold laser therapy. Be sure to contact our practice with questions and concerns about your circumstances.
How long is the procedure?
Standard Laser Therapy sessions last anywhere from four to 10 minutes in duration. On average, each procedure takes between six and 20 minutes. Prior to beginning care, we will evaluate your current condition as well as the estimated length of your session.
Can I expect immediate results?
Though we cannot guarantee success, most patients feel better as soon as the procedure is done. Some, however, do not report obvious improvement until they have undergone three to eight sessions.
