To initiate cellular metabolism, we have to introduce more oxygen, the principle fuel for aerobic organisms, and the only way to get oxygen and nutrients to the cells for processing, and waste products like lactic acid and carbon dioxide away from the cells is through the blood. Accordingly, generating local circulation, both input and output of blood, is one of the primary mechanisms of laser therapy.
When osteoblasts have more ATP available to them and in the presence of damage, they will proliferate more rapidly and regulate their collagen production. Read about all the bone- and joint-healing effects, at both the cellular and clinical levels.
Brain and Spinal Cord injuries have some of the most debilitating effects on our quality of life and have always been thought to be irreparable. Read about how neuro-scientists have been using laser as a non-surgical modality to treat conditions they believed were beyond their reach.
There are 4 predominant things in our body that absorb radiation to a significant percent. Everything else absorbs orders of magnitude less in the Near Infrared, and so these four are primary targets of laser therapy. Here are some links to their respective absorption spectra.
FACT: Different tissue types respond well to different frequencies. This is an industry consensus. The reasons why are unclear, but what is clear is that there is no single frequency that works best for all tissue-types. Read about some of the experiments that have led us to these conclusions.
Infected wounds, both internal and external pose a real problem because despite their similar appearances, the origins of the infection could vary WIDELY, from bacterial, to fungal, and viral. Read about how regardless of origin, infections can be treated successfully with lasers.
From humans to pets. From hip dysplasia to stomatitis. From infected wounds to soft tissue trauma. From fractures to osteoarthristis. See some case studies from the THOUSANDS of patients who have been successfully treated with the K-Laser.
Smooth muscle pain can stem from a variety of injuries and complications including ligament tears, tendonitis, contusions, overuse, fatigue, inflammation and more. Discover how laser therapy has not only increased tensile strength of smooth muscle injuries, but done it faster.
Chronic pain affects more the 80 MILLION Americans. Acute injuries happen every day. Hydrocodone with Acetaminophen was prescribed more that 3 1/2 BILLION times last year. There is another way. Learn about why and how well therapeutic lasers treat your everyday pain.
Damage to nerves of the peripheral nervous system can be caused either by diseases of or trauma to the nerve or the side-effects of systemic illness. Neurologists used to believe that if impulses ceased after trauma to the nerve, no impulses could be stimulated thereafter. Read about how doctors have been able to use laser to repair nerve connections, bring feeling back, and relieve pain.
It is important to be familiar with the LEGITIMATE safety standards of laser therapy. Far too many people have biased and strategic scare campaigns aimed at lasers, in general, but more specifically, Class IV lasers. Read about the distinction of laser classes, the absolute contraindications, and most importantly the MYTHS of laser safety.
Wounds, both clean and contaminated, have varying levels of response, but there is no other single standard of care that is nearly as effective as laser therapy on ALL WOUND TYPES.
