What is Class IV Laser Therapy?
The process of using light energy to create a photo-biostimulative effect on the body.
Class IV Therapeutic Lasers utilize a coherent divergent beam of light that penetrates deeply into tissues without damaging them.
Characteristics of Light
Comparison of “Class IV” Surgical and Therapeutic Lasers
Light energy has the capability to penetrate into tissue to varying depths-depending on its corresponding wavelength
Surgical Laser Beam- Infrared energy collimated to a fine beam causes tissue
destruction Therapeutic Laser Beam- dispersal of same
energy causes tissue stimulation

Cellular Effects of Laser Therapy:
Increased Growth factor Increased Growth factor response within cells and response within cells and t issue as a result of t issue as a result of increased ATP and protein increased ATP and protein synthesis. synthesis.
Accelerated cell Accelerated cell reproduction and growth reproduction and growth leading to faster repair of leading to faster repair of damaged t issues.damaged t issues.
Increased metabolic Increased metabolic activity- via increase in activity- via increase in enzyme outputs, oxygen enzyme outputs, oxygen and nutrient and nutrient availabil i ty.availabil i ty.
Anti-inflammatory Effects of Laser Therapy:
Anti-inflammatory - via an anti-edemic effect as it causes vasodilatation and activation of the lymphatic drainage system
Analgesic Effects of Laser Therapy:
Via increased endorphin Via increased endorphin releaserelease
Anti-inflammatory -Via less Anti-inflammatory -Via less edema as a result of lymphatic edema as a result of lymphatic system activation and less system activation and less swell ingswell ing
Via Suppression of Via Suppression of nociceptorsnociceptors
Wound Healing Effects of Laser Therapy:
Faster Wound Healing- Increased fibroblast and collagen production which are essential for tissue repair.
Improved Vascular Activity- Increased capillary production leads to faster wound closure and concomitant reduction of scar tissue formation.
Red Laser-635nm wavelength is highly effective for wound healing.
Immune System Effects of Laser Therapy
Strengthening the immune system response via increasing levels of lymphocyte activity and through a newly researched mechanism termed photo-modulation of blood.

Classifications
Class IIIa = lasers 1 to 5mw of power
Class IIIb = lasers 6 to 500mw in power
Class IV = lasers above 500mw of power
1 Watt = 1 Joule / Second
Therapeutic Energy = Power(watts) or Joules/sec x Time(sec).
7.5watt Class IV laser delivers 7.5 joules/sec or 450 Joules/min.
100mw-Class III laser delivers 0.1joules/sec or 6 joules /min
Class IV lasers typically delivers therapeutic energy at a rate 75 times faster than average
Class III lasers

Therapeutic Laser Physics
Power Density and Wavelength“The Key to Better Outcomes”
Power Density = Power / surface area or mw / cm2 Surface area = πr 2 Pie = 3.14 r = radius
Wavelength = measured in nanometers
Visible light = 400-700nm, limited ability to penetrate
Infrared light = above 700nm, increased ability to penetrate
The higher the power density and wavelength, the deeper the penetration and greater the ability to repair damaged tissues.

Goals of Pain Management
• Relieve Pain
• Promote Tissue Healing
• Minimize Side Effects
• Restore Active Range of motion
Current State of Pain Management Drug Therapy – NSAID’s, Glucocorticoids - Pain relief at expense of continued tissue destruction
- Significant potential for side effects - No ability to regenerate tissue
Neutroceuticals and other Injectables - Pain relief with delayed onset - No side effects - Limited tissue regeneration capability Class IV Laser Therapy - Pain relief typically immediate - No side effects - Profound tissue regeneration on all tissue types
