K-Laser devices deliver specific wavelengths and frequencies of laser light to produce a therapeutic effect upon the body. Effects can include increased circulation, decreased swelling, reduction of pain and enhanced tissue repair. A major advance in treatment occurred in the 2000’s with the introduction of much more powerful, Class IV multi – wavelength machines. Since then, K-Laser has been adopted by practitioners worldwide.
Acute conditions may be treated daily, particularly if they are accompanied by significant pain. More chronic problems respond better when treatments are received 2 to 3 times a week, tapering to once every week or two as
improvement is seen
You may see some improvement to your condition (usually pain reduction) after the first treatment. Sometimes you will not feel improvement for a number of treatments. This does not mean that nothing is happening. Each treatment is cumulative and results are often felt after 3-4 sessions
This depends on the nature of the condition being treated. For some acute conditions 1- 2 treatments may be sufficient. Those of a more chronic nature may require 5-8 (or more) treatments. Some conditions may require ongoing periodic care to control pain.
What do treatments feel like? There is little or no sensation during treatment. Occasionally the patient feels a mild, soothing warmth or tingling. Areas of pain or inflammation may be sensitive briefly before pain reduction.
The painless application of laser energy promotes increased circulation by drawing oxygen and nutrients to the affected area. This creates an optimal healing environment to reduce swelling, inflammation, muscle spasm, stiffness and pain. As the injured area returns to normal, pain is relieved and function restored.
While you may exhibit renewed energy after the first treatment, consult your doctor before you return to full activity. A gradual introduction of activity may be suggested to ensure the patient does not aggravate the condition
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 to initiate increased production of cellular energy (ATP). This leads to a cascade of beneficial events promoting the acceleration of the healing process and reduced pain
There is no patient sedation or restraint required and the experience is usually pleasant and comforting to them. K-Laser Therapy treatments are cumulative in nature. The Length and frequency of treatments varies with your condition. Even though improvement may be seen after the first visit, most patients require several treatments for greatest benefit.
