Our office in Jacksonville Beach uses safe and painless high intensity laser therapy to trigger a number of functions of healing at the cellular level. These include improving circulation, which boosts your immune response and stimulates healthy healing of injured or damaged tissue. Laser therapy uses a scientific method called photobiomodulation to achieve these cell-level changes.
Class IV laser therapy is non-invasive. Furthermore, therapeutic treatment laser therapy does not burn or cut through the skin because the action is photochemical, not thermal like surgical lasers. In fact, most patients enjoy the mild heating of the laser. After a treatment, you will likely begin seeing positive effects almost instantaneously. However, we recommend more than one visit for long-term pain relief and injury healing.
Class IV laser therapy uses specific wavelengths of light to stimulate your body’s natural healing process through a process called photobiomodulation. When laser energy reaches injured cells, it helps improve cellular metabolism, increase circulation, and encourage the production of ATP—the energy source your cells use to repair damaged tissue.
Unlike medications that simply mask symptoms, laser therapy works by supporting the body’s own healing response. This makes it an excellent option for patients dealing with chronic pain, inflammation, or injuries that have been slow to recover.
Class IV laser therapy can be an effective treatment for many acute and chronic musculoskeletal conditions, including:
Back and Neck pain
Shoulder pain
Knee Pain
Tennis and Golfer's elbow
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Muscle Strains and Ligament Sprains
Arthritis and Joint pain
During your examination, we’ll determine whether laser therapy is appropriate for your condition and whether it should be combined with chiropractic care, rehabilitation exercises, or another treatment to achieve the best results.
Your first visit begins with an evaluation to determine whether Class IV laser therapy is appropriate for your condition. We’ll discuss your symptoms, examine the affected area, and create a personalized treatment plan.
During treatment, the laser applicator is moved slowly over the injured area for several minutes. Most patients experience a soothing warming sensation as the laser delivers energy into the tissues. Treatments are painless, require no downtime, and most appointments take only a few minutes.
Many patients notice improvement after their first treatment, although a series of visits is often recommended to achieve the best long-term results, especially for chronic conditions.

Class IV laser therapy uses focused light energy to treat painful or injured tissue without drugs or surgery. The light penetrates the skin and is absorbed by cells in the muscles, tendons and joints. It may help reduce pain and inflammation and support the body’s natural recovery. At Twin Waves Chiropractic & Wellness in Jacksonville Beach, we often use it alongside chiropractic care and other therapies.
No, most patients find it comfortable and relaxing. You’ll usually feel gentle warmth where the laser is applied. We adjust the settings to your comfort level, so tell us if it ever feels too warm.
Class IV laser therapy is considered safe when it’s delivered by a trained provider who screens patients first. It’s non-invasive and doesn’t involve drugs. You and our team will wear protective eyewear during treatment. We’ll review your health history first to confirm that laser therapy is appropriate for you.
Most sessions take between 3 and 15 minutes. Treating one area usually takes just a few minutes. If we’re treating several areas, a session can take up to about 15 minutes.
It depends on your condition, how long you’ve had it and how your body responds. Many patients notice changes within the first few visits, while longer-standing problems usually need a series of treatments. After your exam, we’ll recommend a plan and adjust it as you progress. It could be as few as 4 or as many as 20 sessions.
No, there is no downtime. You can return to your normal daily activities right after treatment. Some people feel mild warmth or temporary soreness in the treated area, which usually passes quickly. We’ll tell you if we’d like you to adjust your activity during your care plan.
Class IV laser therapy is commonly used for back pain, neck pain, shoulder pain, knee pain, arthritis-related joint pain, tendon and ligament problems, plantar fasciitis and muscle strains. If you’re not sure whether laser therapy fits your condition, we’ll tell you after an exam.
Laser therapy isn’t appropriate for everyone. It is generally avoided over a pregnant abdomen, over known cancerous or suspicious tumors, directly over the eyes, and over certain implanted devices such as pacemakers. Tell us about any medications that make your skin sensitive to light, and about any history of cancer. We’ll screen you at your visit to make sure it’s safe.
Class IV laser therapy is generally not covered by health insurance.

Laser therapy uses light energy, and shockwave uses mechanical pressure waves. Laser therapy is gentle and warming, and it is often used to calm pain and inflammation. Shockwave delivers percussive pulses that are often used for chronic tendon problems, heel pain and stubborn tight tissue. We sometimes use them together, depending on your condition.
