What is Laser Therapy?

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.

Cellular Effects

During treatment, the painless application of 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 reduction of pain.

Numerous studies show that Laser Therapy can reduce pain associated with:

  • Tendinopathies
  • Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
  • Myofascial Trigger Points
  • Tennis Elbow
  • Neck Pain
  • Lower Back Pain
  • Rib Pain
  • Ligament Sprains
  • Muscle Strains
  • Repetitive Stress Injuries
  • Plantar Fasciitis
  • Rheumatoid Arthritis
  • Osteoarthritis
  • Shoulder, Back and Knee Pain
  • Shingles
  • Fibromyalgia
  • Diabetic Neuropathy
  • Edema
  • Sports Injuries
  • Auto & Work Related Injuries

Frequently Asked Questions

Acute conditions may be treated daily, particularly if they are accompanied by significant pain. More chronic problems respond better when treatments are received 2-3 times a week, tapering to once a week or once every other week, with improvement.

You may feel improvement in your condition (usually pain reduction) after the very first treatment. Sometimes you will not feel improvement for a number of treatments. This does not mean that the condition is not improving. Each treatment is cumulative and results are often felt after 3-4 sessions.

There is little or no sensation during treatment. Occasionally one feels a mild, soothing warmth or tingling. Areas of pain or inflammation may be sensitive briefly before pain reduction.

During more than twenty years of use by healthcare providers all over the world, very few side effects have been reported. Occasionally some old injuries or pain may be aggravated for a few days as the healing response is more active after treatment.

The typical treatment is 4-8 minutes, depending on the size of the area being treated.
