Class IV Laser Therapy (HILT) in Lincoln, NE

At Lincoln Family Chiropractic, we use Class IV Laser Therapy, also known as High-Intensity Laser Therapy (HILT), to help patients heal faster, decrease pain, and reduce inflammation—without drugs or surgery.
This advanced technology delivers light energy deep into injured tissues to stimulate cellular repair and accelerate recovery.
If you’re struggling with chronic pain, sports injuries, or inflammation that just won’t quit, laser therapy may be the missing piece in your healing process.

What Is Class IV Laser Therapy?

Class IV Laser Therapy uses high-powered, medical-grade infrared and near-infrared light to penetrate deep into muscles, tendons, ligaments, and joints.
Unlike older, low-level (cold) lasers that only treat surface tissue, Class IV Lasers reach deeper structures safely and effectively—providing faster, longer-lasting relief.

The laser energy interacts with your cells to increase circulation, reduce inflammation, and accelerate tissue repair.
Patients often feel gentle warmth during treatment and notice results within just a few sessions.

How Laser Therapy Works

  1. Photobiomodulation: The laser emits specific wavelengths (810 nm – 1064 nm) that are absorbed by the mitochondria in your cells.

  2. Cellular Response: This boosts ATP (cellular energy) production, promoting faster healing and reduced inflammation.

  3. Improved Circulation: Blood vessels dilate, increasing oxygen and nutrient delivery to damaged tissue.

  4. Pain Reduction: Laser energy decreases nerve sensitivity and helps release natural endorphins.

Each session lasts about 5–10 minutes per area, with no downtime—just relief and recovery.

Benefits of High-Intensity Laser Therapy

  • Fast Pain Relief: Reduces pain signals at the nerve level.

  • Accelerated Healing: Stimulates tissue regeneration and collagen synthesis.

  • Reduced Inflammation & Swelling: Increases lymphatic drainage.

  • Improved Mobility & Function: Frees up tight, painful areas.

  • Non-Invasive & Drug-Free: No side effects, injections, or downtime.

  • Safe for All Ages: Gentle, warm therapy that’s FDA-cleared and research-backed.

Many patients describe the laser session as “a relaxing, deep warmth” that leaves the area feeling looser almost instantly.
