Class IV Laser Therapy vs. Red-Light Therapy or Cold Laser
Class IV laser therapy has many benefits over red-light therapy or cold laser therapy. Red- light and cold laser therapy only has power up to 0.5 watts meaning it does not have enough power to penetrate deep into the body and affect the cells as effectively as possible. Class IV laser therapy has very high power to allow deeper penetration and maximal effectiveness. Our Class IV laser has a power up to 45 watts, allowing very deep penetration. The high power also means that you will need less treatments to get results compared to other low power therapy devices.
Another consideration is wavelength. Wavelength largely determines how deep the laser penetrates and how it stimulates healing. Many red-light therapies and cold lasers use smaller wavelengths which are beneficial, although do not penetrate deep enough to reach joints, ligaments, tendons, and discs. At Ponte Vedra Beach Chiropractic, our Class IV laser therapy uses four different wavelengths, which are all in the moderate to long wavelength range which allows for maximum penetration for optimal healing.
Class IV laser therapy is a revolutionary, non-invasive treatment that helps speed up healing, reduce inflammation, and provide long-lasting pain relief. Using high-powered laser energy, this therapy penetrates deep into muscles, joints, and tissues, stimulating natural cellular repair and improving circulation.
