Class IV Laser Therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses light energy to reduce pain, inflammation, and promote healing at the cellular level. It is an FDA-approved therapy effective for conditions such as joint pain, muscle strains, and chronic inflammation.

Class IV laser therapy uses deep-penetrating light to stimulate cellular activity, increase blood flow, and reduce inflammation. For neuropathy patients, this can help alleviate symptoms like pain, tingling, numbness, and burning sensations by promoting nerve repair and improving circulation.

Class IV laser therapy is effective for several types of neuropathy, including:

• Diabetic neuropathy

• Peripheral neuropathy

• Chemotherapy-induced neuropathy

• Idiopathic neuropathy (neuropathy without a known cause)

• Neuropathy resulting from injury or surgery

A typical session lasts between 5 and 20 minutes, depending on the size and nature of the area being treated. The duration of the therapy will be personalized to your specific needs.

The number of sessions required varies based on the condition being treated, its severity, and your individual response to the therapy. Some patients experience significant relief after just a few sessions, while others may require ongoing treatment to achieve optimal results.

Most patients feel a gentle warmth or tingling sensation during the treatment. It’s generally a relaxing experience and is often well tolerated by patients of all ages.

Class IV laser therapy has minimal side effects. In rare cases, some patients may experience mild redness or warmth in the treated area, which usually resolves quickly.

Some patients experience pain relief immediately after the first session, while others notice improvement after a few treatments. The speed of results depends on the individual’s condition and how their body responds to the therapy.

Yes, Class IV laser therapy can be used alongside other neuropathy treatments such as physical therapy, medication, and lifestyle changes. In fact, combining treatments often enhances the overall effectiveness and speeds up the relief process.

Unlike medications that can have side effects or invasive treatments like surgery, Class IV laser therapy is non-invasive and has minimal risks. It targets the root causes of neuropathy symptoms by promoting nerve healing and reducing inflammation, providing a more holistic approach to pain management.
