What to Expect in Therapy: K-Laser can be beneficial as a non-invasive pain management solution for chronic pain due to arthritis, sprains, strains, and other joint mobility problems, as an alternative to oral medications. It can also significantly reduce healing time by strengthening injured tissue and supporting normal tissue, leading to less scar formation during healing.
For faster recovery, we include K-Laser therapy in the treatment of bone and muscle injuries. We also recommend it for conditions as wide-ranging as tooth extractions, feline acne, and post-surgical hematomas. Lacerations and surgical incisions often benefit greatly from K-Laser, and it can also be beneficial for hip dysplasia, neck and back pain, and burn injuries.
What is K-Laser
K-Laser is the use of specific wavelengths of light (red and near-infrared) to stimulate the body’s natural ability to heal. The effects of laser energy include improved healing time, pain reduction, increased circulation, and decreased swelling.
K-Laser therapy interacts with tissues at the cellular level, drawing oxygen and nutrients to the affected area and increasing metabolic activity within the cell. This stimulates increased production of cellular energy (ATP) in active tissue. The benefits include increased cellular function and improved tissue repair.
The painless application of laser energy also promotes healing by reducing:
As the injured tissue returns to normal, pain is relieved, and normal function is restored.
Treatment Schedule
Treatments are cumulative in nature. The length and frequency of treatment vary with your pet’s condition. Although you may notice improvement after the first session, most pets require several treatments (3 to 8) for optimal benefits.
We offer a multi-treatment therapy, including 3 to 8 minutes of treatment per affected area for a specific number of scheduled appointments. We will discuss the specific treatment plan during your visit.
Side Effects and Associated Risks
During more than twenty years of use by healthcare providers for pets and humans across the world, very few side effects have been reported. Occasionally, some old injuries or pain syndromes may feel aggravated for a few days, as the healing response becomes more active after treatment.
