Welcome to Dow Chiropractic and Acupuncture, where we offer advanced Class 4 Medical Laser Treatment to enhance your healing and recovery. This cutting-edge technology provides a non-invasive solution for a variety of conditions, helping you regain your health and improve your quality of life.
What is Class 4 Medical Laser Treatment?
Class 4 Medical Laser Treatment utilizes high-powered lasers to penetrate deep into tissues, promoting cellular repair and reducing inflammation. This therapy is effective for a wide range of conditions, including chronic pain, sports injuries, arthritis, and post-surgical recovery. The laser energy stimulates the body’s natural healing processes, accelerating recovery and enhancing tissue regeneration. Currently, there are over 7000 published studies for laser therapy.
Benefits of Class 4 Medical Laser Treatment:
- Pain Relief: Effectively reduces pain and discomfort by targeting inflammation and promoting circulation.
- Accelerated Healing: Speeds up the healing process for injuries, surgeries, and chronic conditions, allowing you to return to your activities sooner.
- Non-Invasive and Safe: A painless and safe alternative to surgery and medications, with minimal side effects and no downtime.
- Versatile Applications: Effective for a variety of conditions, including musculoskeletal injuries, joint pain, and soft tissue disorders.

Over 7,000 published studies as of 2024
Infrared light improves COVID19 outcomes
Improved outcomes for Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) with transcranial PBM therapy
Activation of mitochondrial metabolism and signaling of stem cells to release and activate
Red light therapy improves vision
PBM increases beneficial bacteria in the gut microbiome and decreases pathogenic bacteria. They think this is due to increasing function of the vagus nerve.
Red light therapy mitigates neuroinflammation, promotes neurogenesis, enhances synaptic activity and prevents dementia. These effects contribute to improved cognitive function, mood, alleviating depression, anxiety, and cognitive decline.
Laser and LED light induce a photobiomodulation (PBM) effect which is used to accelerate healing, as it increases cell viability by stimulating the mitochondrial and cell membrane photoreceptors synthesis of ATP. This process can be used in promoting the proliferation rate of osteoblasts, allowing the development of new clinical approaches where the influence of laser irradiation will be cross-linked with the knowledge of stem cell behaviour and directed manipulation toward accelerated bone repair [5,6,7].
Photobiomodulation (PBM) may help with weight loss in a few ways:
Fat cell reduction
Some research suggests that red light therapy, a type of PBM, can reduce the size of fat cells by releasing triglycerides. This may be due to the light being absorbed by the fat cells, which increases the production of cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP), a cell signal that stimulates an enzyme that converts triglycerides into fatty acids and glycerol. These substances can then pass through the cell pores, causing the fat cells to shrink.
Improved metabolism
An animal study from 2018 found that infrared photobiomodulation therapy (LLLT), another type of PBM, improved glucose metabolism and insulin regulation in mice with obesity.
Fat mobilization
Some literature reports that PBM can mobilize a similar amount of fat as a meal, which can be absorbed by the body’s energy requirements or exercise routine.
Research indicates that photobiomodulation is effective in pain reduction, reducing inflammation, and accelerating healing. When it comes to body fat loss, there is research that supports the idea that red light therapy releases triglycerides in fat cells, which causes the adipocytes (fat cells) to reduce in size.
