What is Laser Therapy?
The K-Laser
Class IV K-Lasers deliver specific red and near-infrared wavelengths of laser light to induce a therapeutic effect within the body. These include increased circulation, decreased swelling, reduction of pain and enhanced tissue repair. Laser therapy has been used in Europe since 1970s and was cleared by the United States Food and Drug Administration in 2002.
Therapeutic Effects
The painless application of laser energy promotes increased circulation by drawing oxygen and nutrients to the affected area. This creates an optimal healing environment reducing inflammation, swelling, muscle spasm, stiffness and pain. As the injured area returns to normal, pain is relieved and function is restored.
Cellular Effects
During treatment, infrared laser light interacts with tissues at the cellular level. Increased metabolic activity within the cell stimulates the transport of nutrients across the cell membrane initiating increased production of cellular energy (ATP). This leads to a cascade of beneficial events promoting the acceleration of the healing process and reduced pain.
What to Expect
There is no patient sedation or restraint required and the experience is usually pleasant and comforting to them. Best of all we do them in the comfort of your home. For more information or questions please watch the video below, visit our Q&A section, or visit this website.
