Advanced Class IV laser therapy at Optimal Health Members, powered by the LightForce LCT-1000 and guided by Dr. Chris Colgin.
New Patient Special OfferClass 4 laser therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses concentrated, deep-penetrating light to reduce pain, calm inflammation, and speed up healing in the muscles, joints, and nerves. It is also called photobiomodulation, and it is FDA cleared for the relief of muscle and joint pain. At Optimal Health Members, Dr. Chris Colgin uses the LightForce LCT-1000, a powerful Class IV deep-tissue laser that delivers up to 10 watts of light energy without drugs, injections, or surgery.
Wondering what to expect during your session? Here is how this technology helps you live pain-free.
The laser sends safe, specific wavelengths of light (810nm and 980nm) deep into your muscles and joints. This triggers your cells to produce more energy (ATP), which accelerates your body's natural healing process and reduces inflammation.
A patented, optically correct quartz ball attachment gently massages the area during treatment. This combination of physical massage and light therapy moves fluid out of the way, letting the healing energy reach the deepest layers of damaged tissue.
Your time is valuable. Sessions are efficient, typically lasting only 5 to 10 minutes per area. It is a quick, painless, and drug-free way to get back to doing what you love.
Dr. Colgin most commonly uses it for both fresh injuries and chronic pain that has not responded to other treatments.
Most patients feel a gentle, soothing warmth and find it relaxing. There are no needles, no shock, and no downtime. On deeper areas like the low back or hip, the warmth is more noticeable, which is completely normal.
Most patients need a series of sessions to get lasting results, usually between six and ten depending on how deep and long-standing the problem is. Some people with acute injuries feel relief after just one or two visits, but the benefit is cumulative and builds over time.
Yes. The light is non-ionizing, so it does not damage DNA or cause cancer the way X-rays can. It is safe for patients with metal implants, joint replacements, or plates. Both the patient and provider wear protective eyewear during every session.
While both are excellent non-invasive treatments, they work differently. Class 4 laser therapy uses specific wavelengths of light (photons) to increase cellular energy (ATP) and accelerate healing. SoftWave therapy uses acoustic sound waves to trigger a cellular response and reduce inflammation. We offer multiple advanced modalities at Optimal Health Members and will recommend the best one for your specific condition.
