As champions of conservative care, it seems only natural that we would embrace a non-invasive, inexpensive treatment like laser therapy. Low level laser therapy (LLLT) has been around since the 1970’s and its use for reducing pain and speeding recovery is backed by over 4000 peer-reviewed research studies.
How it works
Light energy, in the form of LLLT, triggers a number of cellular mechanisms that are critical to healing and pain reduction. Light energy…
- Stimulates the production of adenosine tri-phosphate (ATP), the molecule that powers all cellular activity.
- Triggers the release of nitric oxide molecules that, in turn, increase blood flow
- Enhances white blood cell activity and speeds the elimination of inflammatory agents
- Stimulates the production of new cartilage-producing cells (chondrocytes)*
Class IV Laser
Class IV Laser is more powerful than traditional Cold Laser (Class III), reducing the amount of time it takes to deliver a therapeutic dose. A typical treatment session with Class IV Laser takes less than 10 minutes.
Common issues that respond well to laser therapy include:
- Arthritis**
- Tendinitis
- Plantar Fasciitis
- Neuropathy
- Sciatica
- Rotator Cuff Injury/Shoulder Pain
- Bursitis of the hip, shoulder, knee

CLINICALLY PROVEN
Laser Therapy is clinically proven as an effective treatment for pain and inflammation. Able to penetrate to deep tissue structures, it has the ability to treat a wide variety of both acute and chronic conditions.
ALTERNATIVE TO DRUGS AND SURGERY
The non-invasive nature of Deep Tissue Laser Therapy provides a solution for those who are looking for alternatives to prescription drugs and surgery.
THE RIGHT DELIVERY METHOD
Deep tissue conditions are treated especially well using the LightForce™ Therapy Laser’s patented Laser-Massage® treatment head. This patented feature allows the practitioner to deliver energy while manipulating underlying tissue and muscle thus enhancing the effectiveness of the treatment.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Patients feel a soothing warmth as laser energy gently penetrates tissue and boosts your body’s own regeneration powers to relieve your pain. Treatments are painless and fast (5 to 10 min).
Results can be immediate but the most observed results are after 3 to 5 treatment sessions. The body continues to benefit from the effects of the therapy for 18-24 hours after treatment. During this time, modulated cellular activity leads to decreased pain and inflammation.
SEE IF DEEP TISSUE LASER THERAPY IS RIGHT FOR YOU
Providing a solution that didn’t exist before, Deep Tissue Laser Therapy has become a preferred by those who have long sought relief without success. It’s ability to impact pain on a cellular level provides pain relief for complex and simple conditions alike.

About Laser Safety
FDA CLEARED DEVICES
Laser therapy is a safe and effective alternative to drugs and surgery for pain relief. LightForce™ Deep Tissue Therapy Lasers are FDA cleared and manufactured in accordance with ISO-13485 Medical Device Quality Standards, providing the safest non-invasive treatment option on the market.
HIGHER POWER = EFFICIENT and EFFECTIVE
With up to 15W of therapeutic power, LightForce™ Therapy Lasers provide fast, effective relief with treatment times lasting only minutes.
SAFETY
The primary safety precaution when using therapy lasers is eye protection. Lasers can pose optical risks if the eye is exposed to the laser light. The therapeutic dose of laser light not in the visible light spectrum and therefore is not visible to your eye. Laser-safe eye protection is provided and must be worn by all individuals within the treatment area to ensure a safe environment.
WHAT TO EXPECT
You will feel soothing warmth during treatment; this sensation should never be uncomfortable. If at anytime during treatment you are uncomfortable, simply communicate with your practitioner and your treatment will be adjusted to maximize your comfort and ensure a safe administration.

Laser Therapy Scientific Advances
SCIENCE AND EVIDENCE-BASED THERAPY
The number of scientific studies and published papers on laser therapy continue to grow, with over 3,000 current published studies. LightForce, our laser therapy provider, is an industry leader with regards to clinical trials and scientific research.
RECENT TECHNOLOGY ADVANCES
“Cold Lasers” have been in use for over 20 years with only limited results. Laser therapy treatments with these lower power lasers (< 50 mW) have not provided the consistency practitioners desire.
Only recently have higher power therapy lasers become more common. With the introduction of these lasers, observable results are more readily achieved in a wide variety of patients. Advances in scientific understanding and technology have made Deep Tissue Laser Therapy an increasingly popular treatment option for pain and inflammation associated with a wide variety of acute and chronic conditions.
COMBINING THE BEST TECHNOLOGY AND CLINICAL STAFF
LightForce™ Therapy Lasers are FDA cleared and are the only therapy lasers available with the patented Laser-Massage® Roller-Ball. These Deep Tissue Therapy Lasers provide an optimal mix of power and wavelength along with dosing protocols developed as a result of research and scientific findings. Our staff has been trained in delivery technique and how to obtain the best results every time.
