K-Laser Treatment

 1. Helps reduce pain, inflammation, and enhance tissue healing – both in hard and soft tissues, including muscles, ligaments, and bones.

2. Enhances the microcirculation and gets more red blood cells flowing to the area: the arterial blood supply to the area, venous and the lymphatic return from the area. It also increases oxygenation of those tissues by stimulating the hemoglobin molecule to dump off oxygen at the treatment site.

3. Stimulates the cytochrome oxidase enzyme in the cells’ mitochondria. This is really one of the key discoveries in the whole science of laser therapy. Specifically, injured cells are targeted because damaged cells are more readily accepting of photons of light, whereas healthy cells don’t need this extra energy.

By stimulating the cytochrome oxidase enzyme, oxygen is utilized in the respiratory chain inside of the mitochondria, producing more ATP for that cell. So regardless of what kind of cell it is, it’s going to function at a higher level. The interaction achieved in the body with the K-Laser is called a photochemical reaction. By shining that light on a tissue, ATP energy is produced.

K-Laser treatment therapy can be helpful for:

• Acute injuries, such as strains, sprains, and shoulder injuries.
• Repetitive-use injuries such as carpal tunnel syndrome.
• Traumatic injuries, such as post-motor vehicle accidents with cervical strain/sprain.
• Chronic issues such as frozen shoulders and arthritis.

The infrared wavelengths used in the K-Laser allow for targeting specific areas of the body. The K-Laser is unique in that it is the only Class 4 therapy laser that utilizes these four infrared wavelengths, allowing for deep penetration into the body to reach areas such as your back and hip (the K-Laser also has a 100-milliwatt, 660-nanometer visible red which is excellent for superficial wounds):

• 660 nanometers – targets cells in the skin to create healthy tissue that resists pathogens.
• 800 nanometers penetrate the deepest and is at a peak of absorption for the cytochrome oxidase enzyme.
• 905 nanometers most efficiently target the hemoglobin molecule.
• 970 nanometers most efficiently stimulate microcirculation in the tissues.

K-Laser is a great safe addition to conventional surgical approach and an important part of surgery prevention. The laser is typically a fraction of the cost of surgery and virtually has no side effects. It can be effectively combined with a number of other treatment modalities, including various soft tissue mobilization techniques.
