DOSING STRATEGIES
CLASS IV LASER THERAPY Class IV laser therapy enables you to deliver a therapeutic dose of joules (J) to a larger area of target tissue in a shorter period of time as well as delivering adequate irradiance (W/cm 2 ) for deep tissue efficacy: ultimately resulting in positive, consistent, clinical results. Higher power and the option to deliver treatment in continuous wave give the clinician the flexibility to deliver the therapeutic dose of energy in less time than with other lower-powered devices. This technology is very effective at reducing pain and repair. More specifically, analgesia that can be created at peripheral sensory nerves when higher irradiances are applied to C and A-delta sensory nerves. It has been shown that when > 270 mW/cm 2 is applied to these nerves, neuroplastic changes take place within 2-3 minutes at the peripheral nerve that slows the conduction rate of the pain signal 10 . This physical change to the nerve quickly reduces pain 11 .
Additionally, it has been shown that an inhibition of nociceptive action potentials takes place when higher power densities are applied to nerve tissue. Specifically, a 30% neural blockade has been shown to start 10-20 min after treatment, which further reduces pain perception 11 .
