The Healing Effects of K-Laser Therapy | Grande Prairie Physiotherapy & Massage
Over the years, there have been many methods used to deal with scar tissue damage, inflammation and pain due to injury. On the list of these great innovations is K-laser therapy. Developed in 1999 by Italian engineer Francesco Zanata, K-laser brings healing to a whole new level.
What Is K-Laser Therapy?
K-laser therapy delivers therapeutic effects using specific wavelengths of light (red and near-infrared). The treatment is delivered to the affected areas by a physiotherapist using a hand-held device. The laser light interacts with tissues at a cellular level which stimulates cell activities and improves overall cellular function and health. K-laser therapy is painless and the length of sessions and treatment are determined once a physiotherapist assesses the injury or condition.
Benefits of K-Laser Therapy
Therapeutic K-laser treatment has many benefits that promote healing.
Pain and Inflammation Reduction
K-laser therapy draws water to the injured area, increasing the oxygen and nutrients needed to decrease swelling, spasms and stiffness.
Damaged Tissue Regeneration
Often described as “photobiomodulation”, laser therapy stimulates the affected tissue which promotes healing, regeneration and protection from additional deterioration.
Cellular Function Improvement
K-laser therapy accelerates metabolic cell activity which produces cellular energy (ATP) and improves the function and health of cells.
Antibacterial and Antiviral
Laser treatments deliver agents that combat bacteria sometimes found in injured muscle fibers.
