Class IV Laser

    At Richmond Family Chiropractic in Richmond, Texas, we are committed to providing patients with the latest evidence-informed technology to promote healing, reduce pain, and accelerate recovery. One of the most advanced therapies available in our office is the REMY FX Elite 90W Class IV Laser. This high-powered photobiomodulation (PBM) system is designed to deliver therapeutic light energy deep into injured tissues, helping patients recover from musculoskeletal injuries, chronic pain conditions, sports injuries, and motor vehicle accidents without the use of medications or invasive procedures. The REMY FX Elite 90W utilizes multiple therapeutic wavelengths and customizable treatment protocols to provide efficient, comfortable care for a wide variety of conditions.

Class IV laser therapy works by delivering specific wavelengths of light that are absorbed by cells within muscles, ligaments, tendons, joints, and other soft tissues. This process, known as photobiomodulation, stimulates cellular metabolism and ATP (adenosine triphosphate) production, which supplies energy for tissue repair. Laser therapy has also been shown to support healthy circulation, temporarily reduce pain, decrease inflammation, and promote the body's natural healing response. Because the treatment is non-invasive and painless, many patients find it to be an excellent complement to chiropractic care and rehabilitation.

The REMY FX Elite 90W stands apart because of its powerful output, four therapeutic wavelengths, and advanced software that allows treatment to be customized for each patient's condition. With built-in clinical protocols and adjustable treatment parameters, the laser can be tailored to both acute injuries and chronic musculoskeletal conditions. Its high power allows providers to efficiently deliver therapeutic energy to larger treatment areas and deeper tissues while maintaining patient comfort throughout the procedure.

At Richmond Family Chiropractic, Class IV laser therapy is frequently incorporated into treatment plans for patients recovering from motor vehicle accidents. Even relatively low-speed collisions can produce significant stress on the muscles, ligaments, discs, and joints of the spine. Common injuries such as whiplash, cervical sprains and strains, lumbar sprains, muscle spasms, shoulder injuries, and soft tissue inflammation often benefit from a comprehensive rehabilitation program. Following a thorough examination, Dr. Joshua Michael determines whether laser therapy is appropriate and integrates it with chiropractic adjustments, therapeutic exercises, spinal rehabilitation, and other conservative treatments to help patients recover as safely and efficiently as possible.

Many patients report that laser therapy sessions are comfortable and relaxing. Depending on the area being treated, sessions generally last only a few minutes, making it easy to incorporate into a regular treatment visit. While some individuals notice temporary pain relief shortly after treatment, most experience the greatest improvements after completing a series of treatments as healing progresses. Because every injury is unique, treatment frequency and duration are individualized based on the patient's diagnosis, symptoms, and recovery goals.

By combining advanced technology such as the REMY FX Elite 90W Class IV Laser with personalized chiropractic care, rehabilitation, and patient education, Richmond Family Chiropractic provides a comprehensive approach to pain relief and injury recovery. Whether recovering from a car accident, managing chronic joint pain, or rehabilitating a sports injury, our goal is to help patients heal naturally, restore mobility, and return to the activities they enjoy with greater comfort and confidence.
