LightForce® 25W XPi Deep Tissue Laser Therapy | Pain Relief, Rehabilitation & Prevention

Q: Is LightForce laser therapy FDA-cleared?

Yes. LightForce Therapy Lasers are FDA-cleared for temporary relief of minor muscle and joint pain, stiffness, local muscle spasm, and to temporarily increase local blood circulation.

Q: Can laser therapy be used over metal implants?

Yes. At the irradiance levels used by the LightForce 25W XPi, light energy reflects off metal implants and does not generate heat at depth. Laser therapy can be safely performed over most orthopedic implants.

What Is the LightForce® 25W XPi?

Treating pain at its source — not just the surface — with 25 watts of intelligent, evidence-based laser energy integrated into a complete rehabilitation system.

The LightForce® 25W XPi is a Class IV, high-power therapeutic laser that delivers concentrated light energy — at dual wavelengths of 980 nm and 810 nm — deep into muscles, joints, tendons, and soft tissue. At 25 watts of continuous output, it penetrates tissue layers that surface-level treatments and lower-powered lasers simply cannot reach.

It is FDA-cleared, manufactured to strict ISO international standards, and trusted by over 250 professional and collegiate athletic training programs worldwide, including teams across the NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, and Olympic programs. LightForce® estimates more than 1.2 million treatments are performed globally each month using their systems.

At SVPC, we selected the 25W XPi specifically because it delivers the power needed for deep tissue work while its built-in intelligent feedback system ensures every session is accurate, safe, and repeatable.

How Deep Tissue Laser Therapy Works

Photobiomodulation (PBM) — your body's own healing, accelerated

Deep Tissue Laser Therapy uses focused light energy to trigger a natural biological healing response within your cells. When laser energy is applied to injured tissue, photons penetrate beneath the skin and are absorbed by mitochondria — the energy-producing organelles inside your cells. This initiates a cascade of therapeutic effects that produces genuine, durable recovery — not a masking of symptoms.

Reduces Inflammation

Suppresses pro-inflammatory cytokines, reducing local swelling and inflammatory response at the cellular level.

Increases Blood Flow & Oxygen Delivery

Improves localised circulation, delivering oxygen-rich blood to the injured site and flushing metabolic waste through enhanced lymphatic drainage.

Accelerates Cellular Repair

Stimulates mitochondrial activity, boosting ATP production and activating tissue regeneration mechanisms. Increases collagen synthesis for tendon and ligament recovery.

Modulates Pain Signals

Reduces the transmission of pain signals along nerve pathways, providing genuine, lasting relief — not a temporary numbing effect.

Promotes Faster Recovery

The combined biological effect shortens recovery time for both acute injuries and chronic conditions, helping you return to activity sooner and more safely.

Built for Precision and Performance

What distinguishes the LightForce® 25W XPi from standard laser systems

Empower IQ™ Delivery System

The smart handpiece provides continuous real-time visual and haptic feedback during treatment, monitoring dosing speed and ensuring your therapeutic dose is consistent every single time — not dependent on manual estimation.

Influence® Technology

Automatically adapts treatment parameters to patient-specific data, accounting for tissue depth, condition type, and treatment area. Your session is tailored to your anatomy — not a one-size-fits-all setting.

Intelligent Treatment Head Recognition

The system identifies which applicator is in use and recommends the appropriate power level — reducing clinician guesswork and improving treatment safety across every session.

Patented Massage Ball Technology

The on-contact massage ball compresses superficial tissue to reduce surface absorbers, collimates the laser beam to minimise energy loss, and allows simultaneous manual soft tissue mobilisation with laser energy delivery.

Multiple Interchangeable Treatment Heads

Large and small massage balls, large and small cones, and flat window applicators — each purpose-built for specific clinical scenarios, from broad muscle groups to precise trigger points and superficial tissue.

25W Class IV Power

High output enables faster delivery of full therapeutic doses compared to lower-wattage systems, reducing session time while maintaining clinical effectiveness across both acute and chronic presentations.

Pain relief is the entry point — not the finish line. At SVPC, the LightForce® 25W XPi is integrated into a structured, progressive plan of care that moves through three clear phases: Relief → Recover → Regain.

1

Relief

Reducing Pain & Inflammation

Our priority is calming inflammation, reducing pain, and creating the tissue conditions that allow rehabilitation to begin. Laser therapy addresses the underlying biology of your injury — not just the surface sensation.

LightForce® laser anti-inflammatory sessions
Manual therapy & soft tissue mobilisation
Gentle range-of-motion work
Patient education on load management

2

Recover

Guided Exercise & Functional Rehab

Exercise is central to recovery. Strengthening muscles around injured joints reduces load, restores movement patterns, and rebuilds neuromuscular control. Laser therapy supports this phase by reducing post-exercise soreness and accelerating tissue healing between sessions.

Targeted strengthening & mobility training
Neuromuscular retraining & balance work
Post-exercise recovery optimisation
Progressive functional movement sequencing

3

Regain

Building Resilience & Protection

Recovery without prevention is incomplete. Laser therapy supports tissue maintenance, manages cumulative load, and treats early irritation before it becomes injury. Combined with corrective exercise programming, we ensure you leave more resilient than you arrived.

Tissue overload management for active individuals
Early intervention for tendinopathy & bursitis
Corrective exercise & strength conditioning
Self-management strategies & home programs

What to Expect at SVPC

Your LightForce® laser therapy session — from arrival to result

LightForce® Deep Tissue Laser Therapy is completely non-invasive and painless. Most patients describe the sensation as a pleasant, soothing warmth in the treated area. Sessions are quick, comfortable, and often combined with hands-on treatment or rehabilitation exercise within the same appointment.

Session Length: 5–15 Minutes

Treatment duration depends on the area size, tissue depth, and condition being treated. The session is fast without compromising therapeutic dose accuracy.

During Treatment

You remain seated or lying comfortably. The clinician applies the smart handpiece using smooth, consistent strokes over the target area. Protective eyewear is worn by both you and your clinician as a standard precaution.

After Your Session — No Downtime

You can resume normal daily activities immediately. For many patients, laser therapy is followed directly by hands-on treatment or a rehabilitation exercise session — combining modalities within the same appointment for efficient, integrated care.

Results Timeline

Many patients notice meaningful improvement within 3 to 5 sessions. Chronic conditions often require 8 to 12 or more sessions. Your clinician will monitor your progress and adjust the plan at each visit.

Combined Care at SVPC

Laser therapy at SVPC is never used in isolation. It is integrated with manual therapy, therapeutic exercise, dry needling, and other modalities — ensuring that as your tissue heals, your function is simultaneously being rebuilt.

Is Deep Tissue Laser Therapy Right for You?

Laser therapy is appropriate for most patients experiencing musculoskeletal pain, soft tissue injuries, or post-surgical recovery needs. It is a safe and effective alternative or complement to pain medication, cortisone injections, and surgery for many conditions.

Laser therapy is generally not recommended for individuals who are pregnant, have active cancer at the treatment site, use photosensitising medications, or have certain implanted electronic devices. Your SVPC clinician will review your complete health history before beginning any laser protocol to confirm it is appropriate and safe for you.

Frequently Asked Questions

No. The treatment is completely non-invasive. Most patients find it relaxing and describe a comfortable warmth during the session.

Yes, and in most cases we encourage it. At SVPC, laser therapy is often combined with rehabilitation exercise in the same session — the laser reduces inflammation and primes the tissue before loading, and the exercise reinforces the gains made during treatment.

Acute injuries typically respond within 3 to 6 sessions. Chronic conditions may require 8 to 12 sessions or more. Your full rehabilitation plan, including exercise and prevention milestones, will be mapped out after your initial evaluation.

Exercise is essential for recovery, but inflamed and painful tissue resists loading. Laser therapy reduces the biological barriers — inflammation, pain, poor circulation — that prevent your rehabilitation exercises from being performed at the intensity needed to drive adaptation. Together, they achieve faster and more durable outcomes than either approach alone.

Absolutely. One of the most effective uses of Deep Tissue Laser Therapy is maintenance and prevention — managing tissue overload, treating early irritation before it becomes injury, and supporting patients with degenerative or recurring conditions who want to stay active long-term.

Yes. LightForce® Therapy Lasers are FDA-cleared for temporary relief of minor muscle and joint pain, stiffness, local muscle spasm, and to temporarily increase local blood circulation.

Yes. At the irradiance levels used by the LightForce® 25W XPi, light energy reflects off metal implants and does not generate heat at depth. Laser therapy can be safely performed over most orthopaedic implants.

Coverage varies by plan and provider. Our team will help you understand your benefits and available options before beginning your program.
