What is K Laser Therapy?
K-Laser Therapy uses selected wavelengths of light to stimulate key molecules in human tissues. Decades of medical research have identified the wavelengths, energy levels and frequencies that positively stimulate cellular metabolism, accelerating and enhancing the body's own healing and reparative abilities.
K-Laser energy penetrates deep into musculoskeletal tissues and accelerates cell metabolism by increasing blood flow, nutrients absorption, cell division and excretion of waste products. As a result: skin, tendons, ligaments and muscles are repaired faster with reduced inflammation, scarring and pain.

Frequently Asked Questions
How often should a patient be treated?
Acute conditions may be treated daily, particularly if they 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 and increased mobility) after the very first treatment. Sometimes you will not feel improvement for several 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! K-Laser Therapy is often used with other forms of treatment, including physical therapy, chiropractic and osteopathic adjustments, massage, soft tissue mobilisation, and even following surgery. Other healing modalities are complementary and can be used with laser to increase the effectiveness of the treatment.
