Class IV Laser Therapy in Antigo, WI. $120 Per Session.
We use a 60-watt Summus medical laser to treat the injured tissue itself, which is a different mechanism than the medications, injections, and low-output cold lasers that have probably already failed you.
What a 60-Watt Laser Reaches That a Cold Laser Cannot
Laser therapy in Antigo, WI is not one treatment sold at one strength. The class of device and its output determine how deep the energy travels, and that single specification separates a treatment that reaches a lumbar disc from one that warms your skin.
Our Summus unit is a Class IV medical-grade laser running at 60 watts. The cold lasers commonly found in this region output around half a watt and penetrate roughly half an inch of tissue. If a laser was tried on your knee or your low back and produced nothing, output is the most likely reason.
How Does High Intensity Laser Therapy Actually Work?
High intensity laser therapy works through photobiomodulation, which means laser light is absorbed by your cells and changes how they behave. The clinical effect breaks down into three things happening at once in the treated tissue.
Circulation Increases
Blood flow to the treated area rises, delivering oxygen and nutrients to tissue that has been starved of both, which is common in chronic injuries that have stopped healing.
Inflammation Comes Down
The laser reduces the inflammatory response in the tissue, which is what most of your pain and stiffness is actually made of.
Cellular Repair Speeds Up
Cells increase energy production and rebuild damaged tissue faster than they would on their own. This is the part that produces lasting change rather than temporary relief.
This is why we describe it as treating the tissue instead of the symptom. A medication interrupts the pain signal. Non-invasive laser treatment in Wisconsin at this output changes the condition of the tissue generating that signal.
