If you tuned into Fox & Friends this morning, you saw their “Wellness Week” segment highlighting the growing popularity of red light and contrast therapies. During the segment, medical experts discussed how these light-based treatments are transitioning from professional athlete training rooms to mainstream wellness because of their ability to support the body’s natural healing process.
We are thrilled to announce that we are bringing this exact level of advanced technology to the Franklin community with the arrival of the LightForce® Class IV Therapy Laser.
Whether you’ve been searching for “red light therapy in Franklin” or looking for a non-invasive way to manage chronic pain, here is everything you need to know about how this medical-grade technology works.
What is Class IV Laser Therapy?
While the red light therapy discussed on Fox News is excellent for general wellness and skin health, the LightForce Class IV Laser is a medical-grade powerhouse. Unlike smaller LED panels, a Class IV laser delivers higher power and specific wavelengths that penetrate deeper into the muscle and joint tissue.
How it works:
The process is known as photobiomodulation. The laser sends light energy (photons) into your damaged cells. These cells absorb the energy and convert it into chemical energy, which helps:
• Reduce Inflammation: It speeds up the “clearing out” of inflammatory markers.
• Relieve Pain: It interrupts pain signals and stimulates endorphin release.
• Accelerate Healing: It increases local circulation, bringing fresh oxygen and nutrients to the injury site.
Who is it for?
This therapy is designed for anyone looking to get back to their active lifestyle without relying solely on medication or invasive procedures. It is particularly effective for:
• Athletes: Quick recovery from sprains, strains, and “weekend warrior” injuries.
• Chronic Pain Sufferers: Relief for lower back pain, neck tension, and sciatica.
• Post-Surgical Patients: Helping to reduce swelling and speed up tissue remodeling.
• Arthritis Management: Reducing joint stiffness and improving mobility.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does it hurt?
Not at all. Most patients describe a soothing, warm sensation during the treatment. It is a relaxing experience that typically lasts between 5 and 10 minutes depending on the area being treated.
How many sessions will I need?
While some people feel a difference after the very first visit, laser therapy is cumulative. For acute injuries, 3–5 sessions might do the trick. For chronic conditions, a plan of 6–10 sessions is often recommended.
Is it safe?
Yes. Class IV laser therapy is FDA-cleared and has been used for decades in professional sports (NFL, MLB, and PGA) to keep athletes on the field.
How is this different from the red light I see on TV?
The “Wellness Week” segment on Fox News highlighted the benefits of light therapy for overall health. The LightForce laser we use is a concentrated version of that technology—it’s the difference between standing in the sun and using a magnifying glass to focus that energy exactly where your body needs it most.
