What Is Class IV Laser Therapy?
Class IV Laser Therapy is an advanced, non-invasive treatment that uses high-powered therapeutic light to stimulate cellular repair, reduce inflammation, and relieve pain.
Unlike low-level lasers, Class IV laser therapy penetrates deeper into muscles, joints, ligaments, and nerves. This allows it to target the root cause of pain — not just surface symptoms.
The laser energy increases circulation, enhances oxygen delivery, and boosts ATP production within cells, helping damaged tissue heal faster and more efficiently.
At McNamara Chiropractic Center, Class IV Laser Therapy is commonly used alongside chiropractic care to treat acute injuries, chronic pain, and inflammatory conditions.

Common conditions treated include:
Laser therapy is also beneficial for tendonitis, plantar fasciitis, ligament sprains, and post-injury inflammation.
Acute Injuries
For recent injuries, Class IV Laser Therapy helps reduce swelling, control pain, and accelerate tissue repair. Early treatment can shorten recovery time and prevent chronic issues from developing.
Chronic Pain Conditions
Patients with long-standing pain often experience relief as laser therapy improves circulation and decreases inflammatory markers within affected tissues. Many chronic conditions respond well when laser therapy is used consistently.
Sports & Overuse Injuries
Athletes and active individuals benefit from faster recovery and reduced downtime. Laser therapy supports muscle repair and tendon healing without stressing injured tissue.
