About K-Laser
What is 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.
Patient Benefits of Laser Therapy
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.
Has effectiveness been demonstrated
scientifically?
Yes. There
are thousands of published studies demonstrating the clinical effectiveness of
Laser Therapy. Among these, there are more than one hundred rigorously
controlled, scientific studies that document the effectiveness of laser for
many clinical conditions.
Cellular Effects of Laser Therapy
During Laser
Therapy the infrared laser light interacts with tissues at the cellular level
and metabolic activity increases within the cell, improving the transport of
nutrients across the cell membrane. This initiates the production of cellular
energy (ATP) that leads to a cascade of beneficial effects, increasing cellular
function and health.
Laser Therapeutic 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.
K-Laser Advanced Technology
K-Laser is
leading the way in pain management, tissue repair, safe treatments, and fast
treatment times. We are the premier laser company in the USA to offer:
• Dual-Wavelength
Beam that Penetrates Deep into the Tissue
• Continuous
& Modulating Frequencies to Promote Pain Control and Healing.
• SuperPulse
Mode for Deeper Therapeutic Penetration
• High
Power Delivering Larger Doses, Resulting in Shorter Treatment Times.
• Presets
that Result in More Consistent and Safe Treatment Outcomes.
Dual Wavelength/Triple Delivery Mode
The K-Laser
was the first to employ dual infrared wavelengths simultaneously of 800nm and
970nm. Combine this with Three Distinct Delivery Modes (Continuous Wave,
Frequency Modulated, and Intense SuperPulse), and you have a therapeutic laser
solution that offers as much variety as the conditions and patients you treat.
Numerous studies show that Laser
Therapy can help with:
Tendinopathies
∙ Carpal Tunnel Syndrome ∙ Myofascial Trigger Points ∙ Lateral Epicondylitis
(Tennis Elbow) ∙ Ligament Sprains ∙
Muscle Strains ∙ Repetitive Stress Injuries ∙ Chondromalacia Patellae ∙ Plantar
Fasciitis ∙ Rheumatoid Arthritis ∙ Osteoarthritis ∙ Shoulder, Back & Knee

Burns ∙ Deep Edema / Congestion ∙ Sports Injuries ∙ Auto & Work Related Injuries
Frequently Asked Questions
Does it hurt? What does a treatment
feel like? There is
little or no sensation during treatment. Occasionally one feels mild, soothing
warmth or tingling. Areas of pain or inflammation may be sensitive briefly
before pain reduction.
Are there any side effects or
associated risks?
During more than twenty years of use by healthcare providers all over the
world, very few side effects have ever been reported. Occasionally some old
injuries or pain syndromes may feel aggravated for a few days, as the healing
response is more active after treatment.
How long does each treatment take? The typical treatment is 3 to 9
minutes, depending on the size of the area being treated.
How often should a patient be treated? Acute conditions may be treated
daily, particularly if they are accompanied by significant pain. More chronic
problems respond better when treatments are received 2 to 3 times a week,
tapering to once a week or once every other week, with improvement.
How many treatments does it take? This depends on the nature of the
condition being treated. For some acute conditions 1 to 6 treatments may be
sufficient. Those of a more chronic nature may require 10 to 15 (or more)
treatments. Conditions such as severe arthritis may require ongoing periodic
care to control pain.
How long before the results are felt? 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 nothing is happening. Each treatment is cumulative and results are often
felt after 3 or 4 sessions.
Can it be used in conjunction with
other forms of treatment?
Yes! Laser Therapy is often used with other forms of therapy, including
physical therapy, chiropractic adjustments, massage, soft tissue mobilization,
electrotherapy and even following surgery. Other healing modalities are
complementary and can be used with laser to increase the effectiveness of the
treatment.
Laser therapy was born from scientific
research over 30 years ago in Europe and perfected by K-LaserUSA with the
latest technological advancements.

Testimonial
Dr. Burak and his staff are professional, polite, and truly care more about their patients than they do the 'ol mighty dollar. He helped me tremendously before my deployment to Afghanistan, and I still feel good months later. He's one of those "fix the problem" Dr's, not one of those "lets just hide the pain for a while" Dr's. A great, great guy who knows his stuff!
