Class IV laser is commonly used to treat plantar fasciitis, a condition that affects the heel and foot. The laser helps to reduce inflammation and pain, and promote healing. The procedure is usually performed in a doctor's office or clinic, and takes only a few minutes. Class IV laser therapy is a safe and effective treatment for plantar fasciitis, and has been shown to be more effective than other treatments, such as corticosteroid injections.
Class IV lasers emit a high-intensity beam of light that penetrates the skin and is absorbed by the tissue beneath. This absorption of light energy causes a biochemical reaction that reduces inflammation and encourages healing. In the case of plantar fasciitis, the laser helps to break down the plantar fascia, the thick band of tissue that runs across the bottom of the foot. This relieves pressure on the heel and often leads to a decrease in pain. So there you have it: Class IV lasers may not be magic, but they can certainly help to ease your discomfort.
