At Parkside Health & Wellness Center, we’re passionate about providing patients with the most advanced and effective therapies to help them get out of pain and heal. One such modality is the Class IV laser, an advanced modality that employs infrared light to expedite the healing process of damaged cells.
Our combination of wavelengths stimulates metabolic activity within these cells, causing them to repair themselves faster. Interestingly, healthy cells remain unaffected by these frequencies and continue their normal activity. The Class IV laser accelerates the body’s natural healing process.
Treating Knee Pain With Class IV Laser
Knee pain is a common ailment that many people of all ages experience. It can result from various conditions, such as meniscal tears, cartilage tears, bone bruising, ligament sprains, and muscular issues. The Class IV laser helps alleviate knee pain by stimulating the affected tissues to heal faster.
In cases of complete ligament tears, where surgery might be necessary, the laser may not be the best fit. However, the Class IV laser is highly effective for partial tears or sprains, and post surgery to help accelerate tissue healing significantly faster.
Session Duration & Expected Results
A typical session for knee-related concerns lasts between four to eight minutes. The duration depends on the frequency settings used. Our powerful three-wave laser enables an exceptional amount of energy transfer in a brief period, making sessions shorter than those with weaker lasers.
During the procedure, both the patient and one of our team members will wear safety glasses. The patient is usually in a comfortable position, and the treatment feels warm and soothing, never painful. It’s important to understand that outcomes can vary. There are some patients who notice immediate improvement, while others may see results after a few sessions.
How Many Sessions Are Needed?
The number of sessions needed varies depending on the severity of the condition and the individual’s response to treatment. Some may find relief after a single session, while others might need multiple sessions to experience significant improvement.
