High Energy Induction Therapy & Class IV Laser

Sometimes recovery needs more than time.

When injury, chronic pain, inflammation, or restricted movement keeps you from doing what you enjoy, your care may need a different approach. We use Zimmer HEIT and Class IV laser as part of individual treatment plans designed to support recovery, reduce discomfort, and help you return to activity.

Zimmer High Energy Induction Therapy

Supporting muscles, nerves, and movement.

High Energy Induction Therapy (HEIT) uses a high-intensity electromagnetic field to deliver energy into the body and influence tissues beneath the surface. The practice uses it to support circulation, muscle relaxation, pain reduction, and recovery, particularly when muscles are tight, painful, or not functioning normally. Pain can change how you move. You may guard a painful area, tighten muscles, restrict movement, or compensate without realizing it. HEIT may be incorporated into a broader treatment program to help address these changes and support more comfortable movement. The treatment stimulates deep neuromuscular structures without surface electrodes. Your doctor selects the settings and adjusts the intensity for your condition and comfort.

When HEIT may be considered

Care for muscles and movement

Your evaluation helps determine whether HEIT belongs in your plan. It may be used for:

Muscle pain & tightness

Including muscle spasms and trigger points.

Back & neck discomfort

Selected painful musculoskeletal conditions.

Joint pain

Concerns that affect comfortable movement and activity.

Sports & activity-related injuries

Support within an individual recovery and rehabilitation plan.

Selected nerve-related concerns

The practice may consider HEIT for peripheral neuropathy, nerve dysfunction, or chronic nerve-related pain.

Muscle weakness & functional concerns

Including muscle inhibition and selected balance or gait difficulties.

Class IV laser therapy

Using light to support recovery.

Class IV laser delivers concentrated light energy into targeted tissues. This approach, called photobiomodulation, uses specific wavelengths of infrared light to support the body’s natural healing processes, local circulation, comfort, and tissue recovery. Your doctor may incorporate it into care for the concerns below.

Back & neck pain

Selected spinal and surrounding soft-tissue concerns.

Tendon & ligament injuries

Care directed toward the tissues identified in your evaluation.

Joint pain & arthritis-related discomfort

Support for comfort and everyday movement.

Muscle & sports injuries

Including muscle strains and activity-related injuries.

Chronic soft-tissue conditions

Including inflammation that may be addressed as part of a broader plan.

Selected nerve-pain concerns

Symptoms such as burning, tingling, or numbness require evaluation to determine appropriate care.

What to expect

Two technologies. Different experiences.

Your doctor explains the treatment and selects the settings for your individual needs.

What does a HEIT session feel like?

The pad is placed over the treatment area and the intensity is increased gradually. You may feel tingling, similar to a TENS or electrical stimulation unit, followed by rhythmic muscle contractions. The intensity is adjusted to remain comfortable.

How long does HEIT take?

When combined with another treatment, 5–10 minutes is typical. Standalone sessions may last 15–20 minutes.

What does a laser session feel like?

Patients typically notice gradual warmth on the skin, often described as warm sunshine. The therapy uses light energy; the warmth itself is not the intended mechanism of tissue repair.

How long does a laser session take?

Smaller areas such as elbows, wrists, or feet typically take 3–5 minutes. Larger areas such as the spine, shoulders, hips, or knees typically take 6–8 minutes.

Why combine technologies?

The right combination for your needs.

Sometimes one approach is enough. Other times, a more comprehensive plan is appropriate. HEIT and Class IV laser can be used on their own or alongside chiropractic adjustments, focused shockwave, spinal decompression, and other therapies. Each works differently, giving us options to tailor care to your condition. If you have already rested, changed activities, tried exercises, medication, massage, adjustments, or other treatments and are still limited, an evaluation helps us understand what to consider next.

Your recovery is personal

We begin by understanding you.

There is no single treatment for every person or every condition. Your story and goals guide the recommendations.

What happened, and how long has it been going on?

We discuss your history, where you hurt, and the approaches you have already tried.

How does it affect your movement?

We look at the activities that are uncomfortable, restricted, or becoming harder to do.

What are you trying to get back to doing?

Returning to running, sleeping comfortably, getting through a workday, playing with grandchildren, and moving around the house are different goals. Your care should reflect yours.

Which approach fits your condition?

Your evaluation helps us decide which treatment or combination may be appropriate, then explain the options to you.

Get back to doing more

Keep the focus on the life you want to live.

Pain can gradually narrow your routine. You stop doing what hurts, then avoid what might hurt, and eventually say no to activities you once enjoyed without thinking. Our goal is to help you recover so you can move, work, exercise, sleep, and participate in life with fewer limitations. The technology is a tool; your needs and the activities that matter to you remain the focus.

Let’s find the right approach for you.

If pain or an injury is keeping you from doing what you want to do, start with a consultation and evaluation. We will listen, assess what is happening, and discuss care designed around your goals.
