Complementary therapies practiced at Clinique Vitalis

Laser therapy - Class 4 (Photobiomodulation)

The Laser - Class IV photobiomodulation process targets deeply damaged tissue to stimulate cellular activity, increase vascularity and, in turn, promote healing. Laser therapy - Class 4 allows the neuromusculoskeletal disorder to work more quickly with chiropractic care.

Effects of this therapy:

Pain-free and calming approach
Reduces inflammation, pain (analgesia) and muscle spasms in acute or chronic injuries
Accelerates the healing process through cell proliferation and blood supply (microcirculation)
Brings significant relief

Additional Information

Example of a scientific article (literary journal)

Radial shock wave therapy – RSWT

Radial shock wave therapy is a slightly more invasive therapeutic approach than Class 4 laser therapy, designed to safely and effectively stimulate the body’s natural deep tissue healing response.

Effects of this therapy:

Accelerates the healing process through cell proliferation and the formation of new blood vessels
Destroys calcification in a controlled manner
Release the trigger points
Brings significant relief
Restores mobility

General information

Combined protocol
Radial shock wave therapy and Laser therapy
An innovative solution to relieve your pain quickly and sustainably, following the highest standards of clinical practice.
We are committed to providing state-of-the-art treatments supported by evidence-based research and the latest technological advancements. This is why, in certain cases, we offer a combined approach that uses two complementary therapeutic technologies:

Why combine these two treatments?

These two approaches work synergistically to target the source of pain, reduce inflammation, and support tissue repair:

Radial shock wave therapy

Stimulates a natural healing process through micro-impacts.
Activates blood circulation and promotes regeneration.
Desensitizes muscle trigger points.
Highly effective for tendinopathies, fasciitis, and chronic pain.

Radial shock wave therapy

What the science says:

Recent research suggests that the combined use of radial shockwave therapy and Class 4 laser therapy can lead to better clinical outcomes than when used separately, particularly in cases of chronic pain, sensitive areas, or more complex conditions.

Radial shock waves are applied first to stimulate healing and desensitize the tissues.
The laser is then applied to support cellular regeneration without compromising the beneficial effects of the initial treatment.
Unlike ice or anti-inflammatory medications, photobiomodulation laser therapy does not block the beneficial inflammation triggered by radial shockwaves. It reduces secondary discomfort and accelerates recovery while respecting the body’s natural healing process. This type of treatment is non-invasive, safe, quick, and can provide significant relief from the very first sessions.

Everyone is unique, which is why we recommend scheduling a consultation for a comprehensive evaluation with one of our chiropractors. Based on your condition and health goals, they will propose a tailored treatment plan and, if appropriate, recommend a combined protocol of radial shockwave therapy and therapeutic laser.
