The Science

Photobiomodulation:
Light That Heals

Class IV laser therapy isn't heat, and it isn't surface-level red light. It's a precise photonic process with measurable, well-documented effects on living tissue.

Photobiomodulation (PBM) works by delivering specific wavelengths of light into tissue, where mitochondria — the energy-producing structures inside your cells — absorb that light and convert it into accelerated cellular activity.

The result is a measurable increase in ATP production (cellular energy), improved circulation, and a reduction in inflammatory markers at the site of injury — all without heat, drugs, or downtime.

Class IV lasers operate at far higher power output than Class III/cold lasers — meaning treatment is both faster and reaches significantly deeper into tissue.

Unlike NSAIDs or corticosteroid injections, laser therapy doesn't mask pain — it addresses the underlying inflammatory and cellular processes driving it. That's why effects continue working for hours after you leave the clinic.

This is the same core technology used in NFL and NBA training rooms, where game-day turnaround and drug-free recovery are non-negotiable. At One Nine, it's available as a standalone treatment or alongside hands-on physical therapy.

Cellular Repair
Stimulates mitochondrial ATP production, giving damaged cells the energy to repair faster.
Reduced Inflammation
Decreases inflammatory markers at the cellular level, easing swelling and chronic irritation.
Increased Circulation
Improves local blood flow, delivering oxygen and nutrients to accelerate the healing process.
