Dear Patients and Friends,
I am now offering K-Laser Therapy treatments in my office in Sebastopol. http://klaserusa.com I am excited and inspired by this addition to my practice because of the acceleration of healing time the laser can induce for injured joints, muscles, and inflamed and diseased tissues. In many inflammatory conditions and injuries the results are immediate! This is such good news for those of us who have those boggy or nagging areas of soreness that never seem to go away. Like a plant that has been deprived of sunlight, when the infrared laser light reaches injured cell tissue, the chromophores (molecules that can accept photons, causing biochemical change within atoms, molecules, cells or tissue) allow the cells to open and receive this infrared light energy. This is a healing light which activates the ATP (the universal energy currency of all known living organisms). If we were plants, photosynthesis would occur. Since we're mammals, it's called photobiomodulation.
Here are some additional facts:
The K-Laser is a Class IV therapeutic laser light that interacts with cells to improve cell membrane permeability thus leading to a cascade of beneficial effects increasing cellular energy and health. Its healing effects far exceed those of modalities like ultrasound and elecrical stimulation by leaps and bounds. It was approved by the FDA in 2003 and is relatively new to most doctors. It differs greatly from the Class IIIb lasers that some of you have experienced.
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. The infrared light can reach into deep areas such as sinuses, knees, shoulder joints, lungs, intervertebral discs, nerve roots and joint capsules to activate cellular regenesis (photobiomodulation). It is also effective for dermatological conditions like shingles, warts, all degree burns, cold sores and other herpetic lesions, psoriasis, enigmatic rashes, wounds and fractures.
K-Laser Class IV Therapy Promotes:
• Increased Circulation
• Immune Stimulation
• Muscle Relaxation
• Improved Vascular Activity
• Accelerated Cell Reproduction and Growth
• Stimulation of Nerve Regeneration
• Increased Metabolic Activity
Positive Effects of K-Laser on the Body:
• Improves and promotes healing
• Reduces pain and spasm
• Increases joint flexibility
• Reduces symptoms of osteoarthritis
• Improves peripheral microcirculation
• Detoxifies and eliminates trigger points
• Advanced pain relief
These sessions are currently being scheduled Tuesday and Thursday afternoons, 3-6.
Please call the office at 707 824-0790 to book your appointment. Allow 15 minutes for the first session.
All the best, Dr. Laura
