 What is Laser Therapy?

Laser Therapy involves 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. Most lasers on the market today in the USA have a power range from 5mw to 500mw, making them a cold laser. Our K-laser will emit a power range from 1000mw to 6000mw making this a high power heat laser that can put an end to your pain fast! Today.

 What does laser treatment feel like?

Patients of laser therapy usually do not feel the treatment, but will occasionally feel a mild, soothing warmth similar to sunlight. Laser treatment will never cause pain.
