Treatment
Class 4 Laser Therapy
When tissue is inflamed and slow to heal, it needs a push. Class 4 laser therapy uses focused light to calm pain and speed recovery deep in the joint.
Class 4 laser therapy delivers concentrated, therapeutic light into injured tissue. It is a non-invasive way to reduce inflammation and support healing at the cellular level. It is one of the core technologies in our restorative protocols.
A handpiece moves over the treatment area, sending energy into the tissue below the skin. That energy boosts circulation and helps cells repair faster. You feel a gentle warmth, nothing sharp, and there is no recovery time afterward.
Inflammation is often what keeps a knee painful and stuck. By calming it and encouraging repair, laser therapy eases pain and supports the tissue-healing side of your plan. Dr. Sarah Scharf uses it alongside movement work so the whole knee improves, not just the symptoms.
