What is Class IV Laser therapy?
· Class IV K-laser Therapy is a proven to biostimulate tissue repair and growth. The Class IV laser accelerates the healing process by decreasing inflammation, pain, and scar tissue formation. In the management of chronic (arthritis etc) and acute pain.
· Class IV K-lasers deliver specific red and near infrared wavelengths of laser light to induce a therapeutic effect within the body. These include increased circulation, decreased swelling, nutrients to the affected area, reduction in pain and enhanced tissue repair.
· During treatment, infrared laser light interacts with tissues at the cellular level. Increased metabolic activity within the cell stimulates the transport of nutrient across the cell membrane initiating increased production of cellular energy (ATP).
· Does it hurt– There is little or no sensation during the treatment. Occasionally one feels a mild, soothing warmth or tingling.
· Are there any side effects– During more then 20 years of use by health care providers all over the world, very few side effects have ever been reported. Occasionally some old injuries or pain syndromes may be aggravated for a few days, as the healing response is more active after treatment.
· 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.
