Class IV Laser Therapy in Nashville TN

Class IV Laser in Progress on a Patient's Arm

At Green Hills Chiropractic Clinic, we offer advanced Class IV Laser Therapy in Nashville TN, a non-surgical, drug-free treatment designed to reduce pain, speed healing, and improve mobility. This state-of-the-art technology supports the body’s natural healing process using specific red and near-infrared light wavelengths.

Also known as photobiomodulation therapy, laser therapy penetrates deep into soft tissue to help decrease inflammation, improve circulation, and stimulate cellular repair. Unlike medications or surgery, laser therapy works by activating your body’s own cells—without downtime or side effects.

How Laser Therapy Works

Class IV laser therapy delivers multiple therapeutic wavelengths to treat both superficial and deep tissues. This allows us to:

  • Reduce pain and inflammation
  • Increase blood flow and oxygen delivery
  • Accelerate tissue healing and cell regeneration
  • Improve mobility and recovery time

How the Summus Horizon Laser Works

The Summus Horizon Medical Laser is designed to target four key biological structures simultaneously, using four distinct wavelengths of therapeutic light:

Benefits include:

  • 650 nanometers:

    Targets Superficial receptors to accelerate tissue healing, increase cellular regeneration, reduce the need of antibiotics, and drastically shorten healing time.

  • 810 nanometers:

    Targets Mitochondria, the energy powerhouse of the cell. This drastically increases the conversion of O2 to ATP (the energy currency of the cell), accelerates cellular metabolism, stimulates the immune system, and penetrates deep within the target tissue.

  • 915 nanometers:

    Targets Hemoglobin, the oxygen-carrying molecule in the body. This serves to double Oxygen delivery to the target tissue, improves pain relief, and enhances healing effects.

  • 980 nanometers:

    Targets Water in the blood which improves circulation, increases pain relief, decreases morbidity, and encourages faster recovery.

This synergy of wavelengths allows for deep, consistent, and effective healing at the cellular level — a process backed by robust scientific evidence and over a decade of clinical success.
