FAA Laser Therapy
Laser Therapy, or "photobiomodulation", is the use of specific wavelengths of light (red and near-infrared) to create therapeutic effects. These effects include improved healing time, pain reduction, increased circulation and decreased swelling. Laser Therapy has been widely utilized in Europe by physical therapists, nurses and doctors as far back as the 1970's. Now, after FDA clearance in 2002, Laser Therapy is being used extensively in the United States. Laser Therapy is proven to biostimulate tissue repair and growth. The Laser accelerates wound healing and decreases inflammation, pain, and scar tissue formation. In the management of chronic pain Class IV Laser Therapy can provide dramatic results, is non-addictive and virtually free of side effects. During each painless treatment laser energy increases circulation, drawing water, oxygen, and nutrients to the damaged area. This creates an optimal healing environment that reduces inflammation, swelling, muscle spasms, stiffness, and pain. As the injured area returns to normal, function is restored and pain is relieved. The K-Laser was the first to employ dual infrared wavelengths simultaneously of 800nm and 970nm. These Dual Wavelengths are more efficient, healing the tissue while also aiding in pain relief. Combining the K-Laser's Dual Frequencies of Continuous Wave and Modulation assures that each treatment you receive will be from the most advanced Class IV Laser Therapy technology. In addition, the K-Laser SuperPulse treats deeper conditions very effectively. For more information click Laser Therapy or click on the video below to view the benefits of laser therapy.
