Class 4 Level laser therapy, also called cold laser therapy, is a non-invasive treatment method for joint pain and muscle pain. At West Broward Wellness Center, our chiropractors have extensive experience working with athletes who want drug-free treatment options for sports injuries or repetitive stress injuries like runner’s knee, tennis elbow, and other forms of tendinitis. Take a look at why we recommend using laser therapy to treat joint pain and muscle pain in Tamarac, FL.   

Reduced Pain and Inflammation

During Class 4 Level laser therapy treatment sessions, your chiropractor will use a small, handheld instrument to direct Class 4 Levels of laser energy at your skin. As this light penetrates your soft tissues and joints, it triggers chemical changes in your body. Class 4 Level laser therapy opens up blood vessels to relieve swelling and inflammation, and stimulates the release of endorphins, which are natural hormones that relieve pain.  

Improved Healing Times

Cold laser therapy stimulates the body’s natural healing processes and can encourage regrowth of damaged cells and tissues. As your body heals during each session, you will notice decreased joint pain and muscle pain. Because the laser light can penetrate so deep within your body’s skin, muscle, joints, and soft tissues, it can improve healing without requiring surgery or other invasive procedures. The treatment also helps your immune system create the chemicals it uses to heal tissues and build more connective tissues in joints. 

Increased Flexibility and Range of Motion 

As Class 4 Level laser therapy treatment sessions progress, you will develop increased flexibility and range of motion in your joints. This reduces the risk of future injury and helps you return to your regular daily routine much faster. By combining laser therapy with other chiropractic therapies, we can further improve your injury rehabilitation and offer lasting results.
