Next-Generation Pain Relief and Healing

At Southeast Family Chiropractic, Drs. Crown and Katherine Hoffman are proud to offer Summus Horizon Medical Laser Therapy — the most advanced form of Class IV Cold Laser Therapy available today.


This state-of-the-art technology represents a quantum leap in non-surgical, drug-free healing — helping patients recover faster, reduce pain, and restore mobility with proven clinical precision.


Now available in Gastonia, NC, the Summus Horizon Laser brings decades of research and engineering into one safe, effective treatment designed to accelerate the body’s natural healing process.

What Is Class IV Cold Laser Therapy?

Also known as Photobiomodulation Therapy (PBM), Cold Laser Therapy uses specific red and near-infrared wavelengths of light to stimulate tissue repair and reduce inflammation.


When applied to injured or painful areas, this light energy penetrates deep into soft tissues — increasing circulation, improving oxygen flow, and stimulating cell regeneration.

The result:

Faster recovery and pain reduction

Improved mobility

Enhanced tissue repair and cell growth

Reduced inflammation and swelling

Unlike medication or surgery, Cold Laser Therapy works by energizing your body’s own cells to heal naturally — without side effects or downtime.

How the Summus Horizon Laser Works

The Summus Horizon Medical Laser is designed to target four key biological structures simultaneously, using four distinct wavelengths of therapeutic light:

Benefits include:

650 nanometers:  Targets Superficial receptors to accelerate tissue healing, increase cellular regeneration, reduce the need of antibiotics, and drastically shorten healing time.

810 nanometers: Targets Mitochondria, the energy powerhouse of the cell. This drastically increases the conversion of O2 to ATP (the energy currency of the cell), accelerates cellular metabolism, stimulates the immune system, and penetrates deep within the target tissue.

915 nanometers:  Targets Hemoglobin, the oxygen-carrying molecule in the body. This serves to double Oxygen delivery to the target tissue, improves pain relief, and enhances healing effects.

980 nanometers:  Targets Water in the blood which improves circulation, increases pain relief, decreases morbidity, and encourages faster recovery.

This synergy of wavelengths allows for deep, consistent, and effective healing at the cellular level — a process backed by robust scientific evidence and over a decade of clinical success.
