Deep Tissue {Class IV} Laser Therapy
Deep Tissue {Class IV} Laser Therapy at Bay Area Disc Centers
Dr. Thomas Ferrigno’s continued commitment to providing the patients with the most advanced, non-invasive treatments available. One of our premier offerings is Deep Tissue {Class IV} Laser Therapy, utilizing the state-of-the-art Medray SuperMax 45W Quad-Wave laser system. This cutting-edge technology allows us to deliver targeted, deep-tissue therapy that accelerates healing, reduces inflammation, and alleviates pain without the need for surgery or medication.
Understanding Deep Tissue Laser Therapy
Deep Tissue {Class IV} Laser Therapy, also known as High-Power Laser Therapy, involves the application of specific wavelengths of light to stimulate cellular activity, a process known as photobiomodulation. This therapy enhances the body’s natural healing processes by increasing circulation, reducing inflammation, and promoting tissue regeneration. Unlike lower-class lasers, Class IV lasers deliver higher power levels, allowing for deeper tissue penetration and more effective treatment outcomes. This makes them particularly effective for treating musculoskeletal conditions, chronic pain, and soft tissue injuries.
The Medray SuperMax 45W Quad-Wave: A Technological Marvel
The Medray SuperMax 45W Quad-Wave laser stands at the forefront of laser therapy technology. With a total output power of 45 watts and four distinct wavelengths—650nm, 810nm, 915nm, and 1064nm—it offers unparalleled versatility and efficacy in treatment. Each wavelength penetrates tissue at different depths and interacts uniquely with cellular structures, allowing for a comprehensive therapeutic approach.
650nm Wavelength: Superficial Tissue Healing
The 650nm wavelength is primarily absorbed by the skin and superficial tissues. It plays a crucial role in enhancing cellular metabolism, promoting wound healing, and reducing superficial inflammation. This wavelength stimulates the production of ATP (adenosine triphosphate), providing cells with the energy needed for repair and regeneration.
810nm Wavelength: Deep Tissue Penetration
The 810nm wavelength penetrates deeper into tissues, targeting muscles, tendons, and ligaments. It is highly effective in increasing oxygen delivery to cells, enhancing circulation, and reducing deep-seated inflammation. This wavelength is particularly beneficial for treating chronic musculoskeletal conditions and promoting recovery from soft tissue injuries.
915nm Wavelength: Vascular and Lymphatic Stimulation
The 915nm wavelength is absorbed by water molecules within the body, making it effective in stimulating the vascular and lymphatic systems. This leads to improved circulation, reduced edema, and enhanced removal of metabolic waste products. By facilitating these processes, the 915nm wavelength aids in decreasing inflammation and accelerating tissue healing.
1064nm Wavelength: Deepest Penetration for Chronic Conditions
The 1064nm wavelength offers the deepest tissue penetration among the four, reaching areas such as joints and bones. It is particularly effective in treating chronic conditions like osteoarthritis and deep musculoskeletal pain. This wavelength stimulates collagen production and supports the repair of connective tissues, contributing to long-term relief and improved joint function.

Frequently Asked Questions About
Chiropractic Care In Campbell & San Mateo
Most patients complete their initial care program over 6 to 8 weeks, with treatments typically scheduled several times per week. The exact length depends on your condition, overall health, and how your body responds to therapy. After an initial consultation, we’ll design a plan that’s tailored specifically to your needs and goals.
When properly administered, non-surgical spinal decompression is considered a low-risk therapy for many patients with disc-related issues. The DRX9000® system continuously monitors your body’s resistance during each session, making real-time adjustments to ensure safety and comfort. As always, a full evaluation is essential to determine if you’re a good candidate for this type of care.
Most patients describe spinal decompression as a gentle, relieving stretch. In fact, most patients fall asleep during the treatment. Our team closely monitors your comfort throughout every session at both our Campbell and San Mateo offices.
Disc Restoration Therapy may be appropriate for a range of spinal disc conditions, including:
- Herniated or bulging discs
- Degenerative disc disease
- Sciatica
- Spinal stenosis
- Chronic neck or lower back pain related to disc dysfunction
We’ll review your full history and imaging, if available, to ensure the best possible approach to care.
The best way to find out is to schedule a consultation. Dr. Ferrigno will perform a thorough evaluation, review your MRI’s and discuss your options based on your specific condition, health history, and goals.
