Class IV Laser Therapy
–K-Laser Therapy–
K-Laser delivers energy from superficial to deep tissues. This activates a cascade of photochemical reactions that promotes cell function. Treated tissues can then accelerate the stages of healing and reduce pain sensation.
Some devices in science and technology have clearly improved the quality of affordable patient care. Laser therapy is one of the first that comes to mind.
Its mechanism is based on the properties of light. More specifically, laser therapy concentrates and transfers a very high quantity of energy onto a specific surface.
Our body transforms this bright energy into chemical energy through cellular mechanisms. This chemical energy is essential for carrying out daily biological functions. Here it does so in a shorter timespan and with very high efficacy.
This process reduces healing time for the patient. The benefits show up as a decrease in pain, inflammation and swelling. Overall recovery time is shorter too.
This kind of treatment does not expose the patient to risks. That holds provided the professional has learned the basic knowledge through special training.
In this field, K-Laser provides advanced technology. It makes it possible for the professional to perform very high level treatments. Thousands of customers treated so far have reported their satisfaction.
The protocols in K-Laser devices are the result of much experience. That experience combines basic and clinical research. The aim is to offer professionals the most efficient therapeutic tool on the market today.
K-Laser also organises focused training courses, both theoretical and practical. These give the clinician all the necessary knowledge. That enables him or her to achieve noticeable results quickly.
Common Questions About Class IV Laser Therapy
What does Class IV laser therapy feel like?
Most patients feel a gentle, soothing warmth over the treated area as the handpiece is moved across the skin. Nothing is injected and no incision is made. Protective eyewear is worn by both you and the clinician for the duration of the treatment.
How long does a laser therapy session take?
Sessions are short, generally a matter of minutes for each area treated. You can return to normal activity straight afterward. The exact time depends on the size and depth of the area being treated.
How many laser treatments will I need?
Laser therapy is normally delivered as a course rather than a single session. Treatments are spaced across a few weeks. The response is reviewed as you go. Some conditions settle quickly and some need longer. Your response is reassessed rather than assumed.
What conditions is Class IV laser therapy used for?
It is used as an adjunct for soft tissue and joint problems. These include tendon and ligament injuries, muscular strain, and painful joints. It also helps assist recovery after injury. It is generally combined with other care such as chiropractic treatment or rehabilitation rather than used on its own.
Are there reasons not to have laser therapy?
Yes. Laser is not directed over a known or suspected malignancy or over the abdomen in pregnancy. It is also not directed over the thyroid or an implanted electronic device. It is also avoided over areas of active bleeding or infection. Tell the clinician about your medical history and any photosensitizing medication you take so treatment can be adapted or declined.
