Why Choose HILT
Four Ways Class 4 Laser Therapy Helps
Deep Tissue Penetration
Class 4 laser light travels well below the skin to reach muscles, joints, discs and nerves that surface treatments cannot.
Reduces Nerve Pain
Laser energy may calm irritated nerves, which can ease radiating pain, tingling and numbness at its source.
Accelerates Healing
Cells absorb the light, which may support faster tissue repair and better circulation in the treated area.
Anti-Inflammatory
By reducing inflammation and swelling, HILT may help restore comfort and range of motion.
How It Works
What Is Class 4 Laser Therapy?
Class 4 laser therapy, also called High-Intensity Laser Therapy (HILT), uses a handheld applicator to deliver focused beams of near-infrared light to the treatment area. Class 4 is the highest therapeutic power class, which lets the light reach tissue far deeper than lower-powered lasers.
Cells absorb that light in a process called photobiomodulation. It may increase cellular energy, improve local circulation and turn down inflammatory signals, which supports the body’s natural repair. Many people feel only gentle warmth during treatment.
At Culver Spine, HILT is one of several non-surgical options, alongside EMTT magneto therapy, spinal decompression therapy and shockwave therapy.

Questions Answered
Class 4 Laser Therapy FAQs
Have a question that is not answered here? Contact our team and we will be happy to help.
What is Class 4 laser therapy (HILT)?
High-Intensity Laser Therapy (HILT) is a non-surgical treatment that delivers Class 4 laser light deep into tissue. The light is absorbed by cells and may reduce inflammation, ease nerve pain and support the body’s natural repair.
How does HILT work?
A handheld applicator directs near-infrared light into the treatment area. Cells absorb the light in a process called photobiomodulation, which may increase cellular energy, improve circulation and calm inflammatory signals.
Is Class 4 laser therapy safe?
HILT is performed by trained providers using settings chosen for your condition, and everyone in the room wears protective eyewear. Tell us about pregnancy, cancer history, tattoos in the treatment area, photosensitizing medications and implanted devices so your provider can confirm HILT is right for you.
Does HILT hurt?
Most laser applications are described as gentle warmth rather than pain. Your provider will explain what to expect and can adjust the treatment if anything feels uncomfortable.
What conditions can HILT help with?
Patients ask about HILT for disc-related back and neck pain, nerve irritation such as sciatica, and joint and soft-tissue pain. See our pages on disc herniation, sciatica and neck pain. Your provider will confirm whether HILT fits your diagnosis after an evaluation.
How many HILT sessions will I need?
It depends on your condition, how long you have had symptoms and your goals. After your evaluation, your provider will recommend a plan and review your progress along the way. Results vary from person to person.
How is HILT different from EMTT and shockwave therapy?
HILT uses laser light, EMTT uses pulsed magnetic fields and shockwave therapy uses acoustic waves. Each works differently, and your provider will recommend the one, or the combination, that suits your condition.
