FAQ's


K-Laser Therapy Conditions
 
This new laser has been researched in Europe for many years, and it has been discovered that specific wattage and modulation are now used for specific painful conditions, never before available until now.
 
FDA Cleared in 2004.
 
Now we have the perfect blend laser therapy, using two types of wavelengths to produces phenomenal results in extremely short periods of time.

Clinical Conditions
 
These are just some of the painful conditions that have responded to laser treatments.

Short Term Effects
 
• Production and release of beta-endorphins (these are morphine like substances produced by various cells in the body that inhibit the sensation of pain)
• Cortisol production is increased (cortisol is the precursor of cortisone). This enables the body to combat the stress associated with trauma or the disease process

Long Term Or Cumulative Effect
 
• Angiogenesis (formation of new blood vessels)
• ATP (adenosine triphosphate) production is increased resulting in improved cellular metabolism
• DNA (deoxyribonucleicacid) production; protein building block of tissue is substantially increased
• Neurotransmission is facilitated due to elevated levels of serotonin and aceytylecholine
• Mitochondrial activity is stimulated resulting in cell replication etc. (i.e. replacement, regeneration and repair of abnormal cells)
• Modulation of macrophages, fibroblasts and other cells
• Regulates cell membrane potential, essential in Na, Cl and K ion transfer (electrolyte balance)
• Cytokines and other chemicals enhancing cellular communications are released

Other Effects
 
• The immune response is stimulated systemically
• Lymphatic drainage is improved
• The histamine response is positively altered
• Production of growth hormone is increased
• The body’s natural healing processes are enhanced

The beneficial physiological changes noted above are the result of tissue regeneration and cellular stimulation. Many other positive activities are modulated including the humoral and cerebral spinal fluid effects which are highly significant and are currently under investigation in research laboratories to accurately delineate the scientific aspects of this process.
