K-Laser Therapy

 

 

"When Dr. Jeff administered my first treatment with the “K-Laser” I noticed immediate and profound results. By the time I got home that evening, my pain had improved so much that my mobility was back to normal for the first time in months! When I woke the next morning, I was pain free, I couldn’t believe it. No side effects either. I am hopeful and feeling better with each visit."

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.

 

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 Pain
Herpes Zoster (Shingles)
Post-Traumatic Injury
Trigeminal Neuralgia
Fibromyalgia
Diabetic Foot Ulcers
Burns
Deep Edema / Congestion
Sports Injuries
Auto & Work Related Injuries

Patient benefits of LASER THERAPY:

Laser Therapy is proven to biostimulate tissue repair and growth.  The Laser accelerates the healing process and decreases inflammation, pain, and scar tissure formation.  In the management of chronic pain Class IV Laser Therapy can provide dramatic results.

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.

 

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.

 

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.

 

K-Laser Advanced TECHNOLOGY:

K-Laser is leading the way in pain management, tissue repair, safe treatments, and fast treatment times.  K-Laser is the premier laser company in the USA to offer:

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 that 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 there 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 the condition is not improving.  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 treatment, 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.

Dr. Katlein Asks some important questions of interest to Studio City residents - Chiropractor Studio City Dr. Katlein Asks...

Will chiropractic adjustments make my spine too loose?
No. Only the spinal joints that are fixated and "locked up" receive attention. The occasional spinal joint that moves too much is passed over so weakened muscles and ligaments can strengthen and heal.
Why do so many drugs require a prescription?
Because they can be dangerous? I chose a chiropractic career specifically because it avoids artificial means of pain relief. Our Studio City chiropractic practice attracts health-conscious families that prefer a safe and natural solution. Ready to get started? Call our office today.
