Class IV Laser Therapy (Photobiomodulation) In Kilgore TX

Class IV Laser Therapy in Kilgore TX—also known as photobiomodulation (PBM)—is a non-invasive treatment that delivers focused red and near-infrared light to targeted tissues. “Class IV” refers to the laser’s power category (higher-power therapeutic lasers), which allows efficient delivery of light energy and treatment of broader or deeper areas when clinically appropriate.
At Kilgore Integrated Health, Class IV laser therapy is used as part of a personalized care plan to support pain reduction, improved mobility, and tissue recovery.

How it works?

Photobiomodulation is understood to act at the cellular level. Red and near-infrared light is absorbed by cellular photoreceptors—particularly within mitochondria (including cytochrome c oxidase)—and can influence cellular signaling and metabolism associated with tissue response and recovery.

Common conditions treated in Kilgore TX

Class IV laser therapy is commonly used to support care for:

• Low back pain and neck pain
• Sciatica-related pain
• Headaches (often when associated with muscle tension)
• Shoulder pain and knee pain
• Arthritis-related aches, joint stiffness, and muscle spasm
• Soft-tissue injuries and overuse syndromes
• Neuropathy symptoms (when appropriate—determined after clinical evaluation)

At Kilgore Integrated Health, Class IV laser therapy is used as part of a personalized care plan to support pain reduction, improved mobility, and tissue recovery.

Many PBM/laser therapy systems marketed in the U.S. are FDA-cleared for temporary relief of minor muscle and joint pain and stiffness, muscle spasm, minor arthritis pain, and for temporarily increasing local blood circulation (when heat is indicated). Specific indications vary by device.

What to expect during treatment

Treatments are typically brief and are often described as comfortable, sometimes with a mild warming sensation. Laser therapy is frequently combined with other conservative treatments (such as rehabilitation).
