Advanced Laser Therapy for Pain Relief & Tissue Healing
Advanced Laser Therapy for Pain Relief & Tissue Healing
High-Level Laser Therapy (HILT), sometimes called Class 4 Laser Therapy, uses specific wavelengths of therapeutic light energy to penetrate deep into injured tissues. Unlike surgical lasers that cut tissue, therapeutic lasers are designed to stimulate cellular repair, improve circulation, and reduce inflammation.
Laser therapy works by delivering concentrated light energy into damaged tissues where cells absorb the energy and increase metabolic activity. This process may help:
-
Reduce inflammation
-
Improve blood flow
-
Stimulate tissue repair
-
Reduce muscle spasm
-
Decrease nerve irritation
-
Accelerate healing times
At Healthwise Chiropractic, we use laser therapy as part of a comprehensive treatment approach that may include chiropractic care, shockwave therapy, soft tissue therapy, rehabilitation exercises, and spinal decompression depending on your condition.
How High-Level Laser Therapy Works
Cellular Healing Through Photobiomodulation
Laser therapy works through a process known as photobiomodulation, where light energy interacts with cells to stimulate healing and recovery.
The laser light penetrates into muscles, tendons, joints, ligaments, and nerves where it helps improve cellular energy production inside the mitochondria. Increased cellular energy may assist tissues in repairing more efficiently while helping reduce inflammatory chemicals and pain signals.
