At The Well Yard, we are committed to offering cutting-edge treatments that help our patients recover faster and stay injury-free. Two of the most effective therapies we provide in combination with chiropractic care are Class IV Laser Therapy and Shockwave Therapy. Both of these advanced treatments work alongside chiropractic adjustments to reduce pain, promote healing, and optimize athletic performance. In this post, we’ll explain how Class IV Laser and Shockwave Therapy can enhance your recovery and keep you performing at your best.
What is Class IV Laser Therapy?
Class IV Laser Therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses high-powered laser light to penetrate deep into tissues, stimulating cellular repair and reducing inflammation. The laser energy increases blood flow to the treated area, which accelerates healing and provides pain relief. This makes it an excellent option for athletes and active individuals dealing with acute or chronic injuries.
At The Well Yard, we incorporate Class IV Laser Therapy into treatment plans for conditions like:
Tendonitis
Muscle strains
Joint pain
Plantar fasciitis
Soft tissue injuries
By stimulating the body’s natural healing process, Class IV Laser Therapy reduces inflammation, improves tissue repair, and speeds up recovery times—allowing you to get back to your sport or daily activities faster.
The Benefits of Shockwave Therapy
Shockwave Therapy is another powerful, non-invasive treatment we use at The Well Yard to address musculoskeletal pain and injuries. This therapy uses acoustic waves to promote healing in damaged tissues by increasing blood flow, breaking down scar tissue, and stimulating collagen production. Shockwave Therapy is particularly effective for treating chronic conditions that have not responded well to other treatments.
Some of the most common conditions we treat with Shockwave Therapy include:
Shockwave Therapy helps remodel tissues, improving their strength and flexibility over time. Many patients experience pain relief after just a few sessions, and the results continue to improve as the body heals.
How Chiropractic Care Complements These Therapies
While Class IV Laser and Shockwave Therapy are powerful treatments on their own, they become even more effective when combined with chiropractic care. At The Well Yard, we use chiropractic adjustments to ensure your spine and joints are unrestricted; improving mobility, and addressing underlying imbalances that may contribute to pain or injury.
When chiropractic adjustments are combined with Class IV Laser or Shockwave Therapy, the benefits are multiplied:
Accelerated Healing: Laser and shockwave therapies stimulate healing at the cellular level, while chiropractic adjustments correct joint restriction, allowing your body to heal more efficiently.
Reduced Pain: Laser therapy’s anti-inflammatory effects and shockwave therapy’s ability to induce tissue change work alongside chiropractic adjustments to relieve pain in muscles, tendons, and joints.
Injury Prevention: Chiropractic care addresses biomechanical imbalances, while Class IV Laser and Shockwave Therapy strengthen and heal soft tissues, reducing the risk of future injuries.

That’s why we take a comprehensive approach to your care, combining chiropractic adjustments with the latest therapeutic technologies.
