Class IV Laser Therapy
Great for: Patients with tendonitis, joint pain, sprain/strain injuries, chronic back or neck pain, and post-operative surgical recovery.
Class IV laser therapy is an advanced treatment that uses high-powered near-infrared laser light to deliver deep tissue penetration, stimulate cell regeneration, boost ATP production and increase blood flow to injured areas. The result is enhanced tissue repair, reduced pain and swelling, and improved overall healing times. Often used to treat musculoskeletal conditions like joint pain, tendonitis, and back pain. Class IV laser therapy is non-invasive, safe, and effective. It’s a popular choice for patients looking for a drug-free alternative to pain management, offering a gentle yet powerful option for accelerating recovery and alleviating chronic discomfort.
Instrument-Assisted Soft Tissue Massage (IASTM)
Great for: Patients with tendonitis, muscle strains, car accident injury recovery and whiplash, or scar tissue from a past injury limiting flexibility.
IASTM is a therapeutic massage technique used to treat soft tissue injuries, particularly those involving tendons, ligaments, and muscles. It involves applying deep, focused pressure with a massage tool in a specific direction across the fibers of the affected tissue, which helps break down scar tissue and adhesions that may have formed after an injury. By disrupting the collagen fibers in the tissue, IASTM encourages the proper realignment of fibers during the healing process, promoting better flexibility and reducing pain. This technique is commonly used to treat conditions such as tendonitis and tendonopathies, muscle strains, ligament injuries, nerve entrapments, and is effective in improving mobility and accelerating recovery by enhancing blood circulation and tissue repair.
Interferential Current (IFC)
Great for: patients dealing with muscle spasms, inflammation, or acute-to-chronic pain who want a non-invasive way to calm symptoms between adjustments.
Interferential current therapy is a form of electrical stimulation commonly used in chiropractic care to alleviate pain and promote healing. It uses two medium-frequency electrical currents that intersect and create an interference pattern in the body's tissues, stimulating nerves and muscles, improving blood circulation, and reducing swelling. IFC is especially effective for acute or chronic pain, muscle spasms, and inflammation, including symptoms related to sciatica. The treatment is non-invasive and can be customized to target specific areas of discomfort. This therapy is one of Dr. Huber's favorites for treating muscle spasms after a recent sport or car accident.
Ultrasound Therapy
Great for: patients recovering from muscle strains and tendonitis.
Ultrasound therapy is a therapeutic treatment that uses high-frequency sound waves to promote healing, reduce pain, and improve tissue mobility. During the treatment, a gel is applied to the skin, and a small handheld device emits sound waves that penetrate deep into the tissues. These sound waves create microscopic vibrations that stimulate blood flow, reduce inflammation, and encourage the repair of damaged muscles, tendons, and ligaments. Ultrasound therapy is commonly used to treat conditions like tendonitis, muscle strains, joint pain, and soft tissue injuries. It's a non-invasive, gentle procedure that can help speed up recovery and alleviate discomfort.
Cupping
Great for: Patients with muscle tension or tightness.
Cupping is a therapy involving placing special cups on the skin to create suction. This suction helps increase blood flow, relieve muscle tension, and improve circulation. Cupping is a popular, non-invasive approach to treating muscle tension and tissue inflammation, and has gained particular popularity among athletes in recent years as a recovery method.
Frequently Asked Questions
Coverage for laser therapy, cupping, IASTM, IFC, and ultrasound varies by insurance plan and diagnosis. Visit our Insurance page to see the providers we accept, or call (702) 900-2709 and we'll help verify your benefits.
Most patients see improvement over a series of sessions rather than a single visit, the exact number depends on the condition and how long it's been present. We'll outline a recommended plan after your initial exam.
Cupping isn't typically painful but minor soreness can occur. It can leave temporary circular marks on the skin from increased blood flow to the area. These marks usually fade within a few days to a week and are a normal, expected part of the treatment.
Yes. Laser therapy, IASTM, IFC, ultrasound, and cupping are all commonly used alongside chiropractic adjustments as part of a broader treatment plan, rather than as standalone replacements for care.
These therapies are frequently used during auto-injury recovery to reduce inflammation and speed healing. Visit our Auto Injury Chiropractic Care page for more information.
