What Is Class IV Laser Therapy?

Class IV Laser Therapy is a state-of-the-art treatment that delivers specific wavelengths of light deep into your tissues. The light energy stimulates your body’s natural healing processes—reducing inflammation, relieving pain, and improving circulation. Because it’s safe, comfortable, and non-invasive, laser therapy is an excellent option for both acute injuries and chronic conditions.

Benefits of Laser Therapy

Pain and inflammation don’t just affect comfort—they slow down your body’s ability to heal. Class IV Laser Therapy delivers targeted light energy deep into your tissues, stimulating natural repair and restoring function. Patients often experience relief quickly, along with these lasting benefits:

Reduces Pain caused by irritated nerves and inflamed tissues

Accelerates Healing by stimulating cellular repair and regeneration

Decreases Inflammation that leads to swelling and stiffness

Restores Mobility by easing tension and improving flexibility

Provides Safe Relief with a non-invasive, drug-free approach

What to Expect When You Visit

During your session, your chiropractor will apply the Class IV laser directly to the affected area using a handheld device. You may feel a gentle warmth as the light penetrates your tissues, but treatment is typically painless and relaxing.

Sessions are quick—usually 5–10 minutes—and most patients experience noticeable relief within a few visits. Best results often come from a series of treatments, depending on your condition.

Testimonials

What Our Patients Are Saying

"Dr. Currie and his staff are awesome. I had never been to a chiropractor before. I’ve dealt with a stiff neck and back for a while and decided to give it a shot. Not only has he helped with those issues but also my knee that I thought would need surgery. They are certainly top notch in every way."

Richard K.

"After a car accident this weekend, I was experiencing neck and shoulder pain. Dr Currie and his staff made time in their schedule to meet with me and help alleviate my pain. It’s comforting to know Dr Currie takes time with his patients and is thorough. The staff at Highlands Chiro is like family!"

Kevin and Shannon

"Dr. Currie and his staff are second to none when it comes to the care and results they provide. I have been seeing Dr. Currie regularly for almost two years and I am feeling better than I have in my entire life."

Walter C.

"Highlands is amazing! I have been to a few chiropractors in the past that did little to help me. After my first adjustment I felt better than I had in ten years since my neck problems began! (No exaggeration!) I cannot believe how freeing it is to have my spine in better alignment."

Elissa G.

"Dr. Currie is an absolute professional. He takes the time to explain what’s going on, how he will proceed, and sets reasonable expectations. After being a patient of his for about a year, I can’t recommend him highly enough."
