Class IV Laser Therapy

At Cascadia Chiropractic and Massage, we’re excited to provide Class IV laser therapy as part of our holistic approach to wellness for our community. Laser therapy is an innovative, evidence-based tool that allows us to offer pain relief and healing support in a gentle, efficient way. Our practice uses the Platinum Series therapy lasers by Summus Medical Laser—technology that’s known for its effectiveness in decreasing inflammation, improving circulation, and speeding up tissue repair. By drawing oxygen and nutrients to affected areas, this therapy creates an optimal environment for reduced pain and improved function without the need for surgery or medication. We believe in combining cutting-edge science with compassionate care. That’s why we tailor each laser session to your specific needs, whether you’re recovering from an injury, managing chronic pain, or seeking to support your body’s natural healing process. Our approach is rooted in experience and a desire to help our neighbors in Marysville, Arlington, Stanwood, North Lakewood, and surrounding communities feel their best. If you’ve been searching for a safe, non-pharmacological way to address pain or speed recovery, laser therapy is a great option to consider.

Health Concerns Class IV Laser Therapy May Improve

Service symptoms imageMany people come to us for Class IV laser therapy because they’re experiencing persistent aches, swelling, or slow-healing injuries. We see folks dealing with acute pain from sprains, strains, or sports injuries, as well as those with long-standing issues like arthritis, repetitive stress injuries, or chronic muscle discomfort. Laser therapy can be helpful for people with back, neck, or joint pain, post-surgical discomfort, or scar tissue that just won’t seem to let up.


We also assist patients who notice that inflammation, muscle spasms, or stiffness are keeping them from their daily routines or favorite activities. If you struggle with swelling that doesn’t go away easily, lingering tenderness, or an old injury that seems stuck, laser therapy might help bring relief. Some people try laser sessions after other options haven’t worked well, or as a complement to their regular chiropractic or massage visits. Our goal is always to listen first—by understanding what’s holding you back, we can tailor a plan to help you recover and feel more like yourself.

What to Expect During Your Laser Therapy Visit

When you schedule Class IV laser therapy at our clinic, you’ll start with a thorough conversation so we can learn about your needs and goals. We’ll discuss your areas of discomfort, how long you’ve been experiencing symptoms, and any previous treatments you’ve tried. Together, we’ll decide on the best approach for your situation and answer any questions you might have, so you always feel informed and comfortable. During each laser session, you’ll relax as we direct the focused laser light to the affected area. Most treatments last 15 to 20 minutes, depending on the size and location of your concern. The majority of people feel nothing more than a gentle warmth or mild tingling during the process, and there’s no downtime afterward. Some people begin to notice improvements after just one or two visits, while others may need several sessions to see significant changes. We’ll adjust your treatment plan as needed and talk with you about ways to support healing at home. Because laser therapy can be combined with our other services, we’ll help you figure out what works best for your schedule and overall goals.

How Class IV Laser Therapy Can Help You

People receiving Class IV laser therapy at our practice often report quicker recovery times, less inflammation, and a noticeable drop in their pain levels. Many patients feel that laser therapy gives them the relief they’ve been seeking—especially if other treatments haven't provided lasting results. Some notice better range of motion, less stiffness, and more freedom to get back into exercise, work, or hobbies they enjoy. Laser therapy supports the body’s natural healing abilities, so improvement may continue even after the session ends. You may find that swelling goes down faster and that sore spots recover more efficiently, making everyday life feel easier again. Since there are very few side effects and no medications involved, people appreciate that it’s a gentle, noninvasive option that can fit into even the busiest lifestyles. While results can differ from person to person, combining laser therapy with chiropractic care or massage often provides even stronger results—getting you back to doing what matters most in your life.
