SUPPORTIVE THERAPY
K Laser Rehabilitation Treatment
Therapeutic Effects
The painless application of laser energy promotes increased circulation by drawing
oxygen and nutrients to the affected area. This creates an optimal healing environment to reduce swelling, inflammation, muscle spasm, stiffness and pain. As the injured area returns to normal, pain is relieved and function is restored.
Cellular Effects
During treatment, infrared laser light interacts with tissues at the cellular level. Increased metabolic activity within the cell stimulates the transport of nutrients across the cell membrane to initiate increased production of cellular energy (ATP), This leads to a cascade of beneficial events promoting the acceleration of the healing process and reduced pain.
