K-Laser in Molalla OR
What is Laser Therapy?
Specific red and near-infrared laser light wavelengths are delivered by Class IV K-Lasers in order to have a therapeutic effect on the body. These include improved tissue repair, improved circulation, reduced edema, and pain reduction. Since the 1970s, laser treatment has been practiced in Europe, and in 2002, the US Food and Drug Administration approved its use. Thousands of practitioners around the world, including Molalla OR practitioners now favor K-Lasers.
TREATMENT EFFECT
Laser therapy is a medical treatment that uses the application of red and near infra-red light to stimulate a process called photobiomodulation. Photobiomodulation or PBM improves circulation, bringing oxygen and nutrients to the injured area which encourages an improved healing environment.
Cellular Effects
Infrared laser light affects tissues at the cellular level while providing treatment. An increase in cellular metabolism increases the movement of nutrients across the cell membrane, resulting in an increase in the creation of cellular energy (ATP). This results in a series of favorable occurrences that hasten the healing process and lessen discomfort.
K-Laser therapy can increase range of motion, decrease inflamation, and relieve discomfort.
