Back pain remains one of the leading causes of mobility limitations worldwide. According to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), both upper and lower back discomfort affect a large percentage of adults at some point in their lives, often due to posture, lifting habits, stress, or repetitive motion. At ReliefNow Laser Charleston, Dr. Lee Russo regularly speaks with individuals who hope to remain active while managing day-to-day stiffness or soreness.
“Back pain can come from countless daily patterns—how people sit, stand, drive, lift, or even sleep,” said Dr. Russo. “Most individuals simply want options that don’t disrupt their routines but help them feel more comfortable moving through their day.”
Why Many Adults Explore Non-Invasive Support for Back Pain
Back pain frequently builds gradually, making it difficult for people to pinpoint a single cause. Peer-reviewed chiropractic literature notes that postural imbalance and prolonged sitting can place added pressure on spinal structures and soft tissues, contributing to discomfort.
Light-based modalities have gained attention as individuals look for non-invasive comfort support. Research summarized by the National Library of Medicine (NLM) notes that therapeutic light has been explored for its potential to support comfort in irritated soft tissues. The American Society for Laser Medicine and Surgery (ASLMS) describes these devices as non-invasive tools used across various clinical settings.
“Class IV laser therapy is a non-invasive light-based approach used to support comfort in irritated soft tissues,” Dr. Russo explained. “It does not fix the underlying condition, but some people say it helps them move with less discomfort.”
What People Often Ask About Class IV Laser Therapy
Common concerns that bring people to the clinic include:
- Tightness from prolonged sitting
- Lower back strain from lifting
- Upper back tension linked to posture
- Discomfort from old injuries
- Reduced flexibility or stiffness
Dr. Russo emphasizes that posture and movement patterns often play a significant role in how back pain develops over time.
