In particular, it is used for retractile capsulitis of the shoulder, epicondylopathy, carpal tunnel syndrome and osteoarthritis of the knee. It also helps relieve muscular pain, tension and spasm, while providing relief for sufferers of fibromyalgia or chronic back pain. In terms of healing, it also promotes the healing of wounds and damaged tissue.<\/p>\n<h2>Safe, painless treatment<\/h2>\n<p>Class IV therapeutic LASER is safe and can be applied immediately after surgery. During treatment, only a slight heat is felt on the skin, guaranteeing a comfortable, non-invasive experience.<\/p>\n<h2>Difference between Therapeutic and Surgical LASERs<\/h2>\n<p>Although surgical and therapeutic LASERs belong to the same Class IV, they have distinct functions. Therapeutic LASER acts through photochemical reactions, promoting cell regeneration without damaging tissue. Surgical LASER, on the other hand, relies on photothermal effects that considerably raise tissue temperature to the point of ablation.<\/p>\n<h2>Mechanisms of Action of Therapeutic LASER<\/h2>\n<p>The precise mechanisms of Class IV therapeutic LASER are still under investigation. However, several effects have been documented, including an increase in ATP production, essential for cellular energy. It also stimulates fibroblast proliferation, promoting tissue repair, accelerates cellular metabolic processes and enhances collagen synthesis, essential for tissue regeneration.<\/p>\n<h2>Conclusion<\/h2>\n<p>In short, Class IV therapeutic LASER is an advanced technology offering concrete, scientifically-proven results. Thanks to its anti-inflammatory and regenerative properties, it represents an effective, non-invasive alternative for alleviating numerous pathologies and improving patients&#8217; quality of life.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p class=\"p1\">Visit the clinic nearest you:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"ul1\">\n<li class=\"li1\"><span class=\"s1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/abccliniquesante.com\/en\/chelsea-gatineau\/physiotherapie-a-la-clinique-de-gatineau\/\"><span class=\"s2\">Physiotherapy \u2013 Chelsea Gatineau (secteur Hull)<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\"><span class=\"s1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/abccliniquesante.com\/en\/vaudreuil-dorion\/physiotherapie-a-la-clinique-de-vaudreuil\/\"><span class=\"s2\">Physiotherapy \u2013 Vaudreuil-Dorion<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\"><span class=\"s1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/abccliniquesante.com\/en\/mirabel\/physiotherapie-a-la-clinique-de-mirabel\/\"><span class=\"s2\">Physiotherapy \u2013 Mirabel<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\"><span class=\"s1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/abccliniquesante.com\/en\/valleyfield\/physiotherapie-a-la-clinique-de-valleyfield\/\"><span class=\"s2\">Physiotherapy \u2013 Valleyfield<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\"><span class=\"s1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/abccliniquesante.com\/en\/quebec\/physiotherapie-a-la-clinique-de-quebec-duberger-les-saules\/\"><span class=\"s2\">Physiotherapy \u2013 Qu\u00e9bec<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\"><span class=\"s1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/abccliniquesante.com\/en\/boucherville\/physiotherapy-at-boucherville-clinic\/\"><span class=\"s2\">Physiotherapy \u2013 Boucherville<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/abccliniquesante.com\/en\/trois-rivieres-2\/physiotherapie-a-la-clinique-de-trois-rivieres\/\"><span class=\"s2\">Physiotherapy \u2013 Trois-Rivi\u00e8res<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sources:<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Class IV therapy lasers: Maximizing the primary effects of laser therapy<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.
