What Class IV laser therapy is

Class IV laser therapy is a high-power medical laser that delivers light energy into tissue. The light is absorbed by the cells and used to reduce inflammation and support the body's own healing. The treatment is drug-free and non-invasive. The applicator rests on the skin or hovers just above it, and most patients feel a gentle warmth.

What a laser session feels like

You sit or lie down and the applicator is placed at the treatment area. Most patients feel a gentle warmth. The session takes a few minutes per area. There is no downtime, and you leave and go about your day.

How many sessions and what it costs

The number of sessions depends on the condition and how long it has been there. Some problems respond in a few sessions and others take more. Dr. Getzik gives you a specific plan after the examination. Laser therapy is $75 per session, cash only, and is not covered by insurance. You are told the cost before care begins. CareCredit is available to spread the cost. See our pricing and insurance page.

How laser therapy works alongside decompression and adjustments

Laser therapy often works alongside other care here. For a disc injury, decompression lowers the pressure in the disc while laser reduces the inflammation around the irritated nerve. For a joint problem, an adjustment restores movement while laser supports the surrounding tissue. We sequence your care so each service supports the others.
