Class 4 Laser Therapy in Glen Carbon

Offering the most advanced care possible for our patients is our Superior Chiropractic & Rehab mission, and Class 4 Laser therapy is a state-of-the-art modality that Dr. Brad Polen relies on to provide rapid relief and promote healing for a wide range of conditions.

The Science of Light Therapy

Class 4 Laser therapy (also called “cold laser” or “low-level light therapy”) uses specific frequencies of light energy to stimulate healing at the cellular level. These frequencies of light penetrate deep into your tissues, creating a reaction at the cellular level to increase energy production, boost blood flow, and trigger the body’s natural healing processes.

Unlike other types of lasers, cold lasers do not produce heat—the warmth you experience during your session is caused by the increased blood flow to the affected area.

Conditions We See

Low-level light therapy is safe and effective for numerous conditions, including:

• Low back pain
• Neck pain
• Sciatica
• Headaches and migraines
• Sports injuries
• Arthritis
• Tendonitis

What to Expect: A Soothing Experience

During your 8-10 minute session, you’ll feel a warm, soothing sensation as the hand-held device is directed at the affected area—it’s painless and relaxing, and many patients experience relief during or right after their therapy. Individual results vary, and full healing may require a series of sessions.

Life-Changing Benefits: Healing at the Cellular Level

This state-of-the-art therapy offers several unique benefits:

  1. Deep tissue penetration: Reaches tissues that other therapies can’t
  2. Accelerated healing: Stimulates cellular repair and regeneration
  3. Pain reduction: Helps manage both acute and chronic pain
  4. Non-invasive: No needles or incisions required
  5. Quick sessions: Fits easily into your busy schedule

Along with chiropractic care, he may recommend services such as physical therapy or light therapy to augment your healing.
