subject: Chiropractor In St. Paul Uses K-laser To Help Local Residents With Pain Management Easily [print this page] The use of specific wavelengths of red and infrared light to create therapeutic results has been used for many years. St. Paul K-Laser employs this science to help manage pain. Working in the range of 790 to 970 nanometers the laser is absorbed by chromophores which can absorb wavelengths at 500 to 970 nanometers. This instrument can reduce pain, increase circulation and decrease swelling.
The therapeutic application of coherent, monochromatic light is laser therapy. Adding laser energy at atomic and sub-atomic levels fights disease and results in faster healing. Bio-stimulation, reduction of inflammation and chronic pain reduction results can be seen.
The FDA approved the used of lasers in the United States in 2001. But in Europe they have been used by doctors, nurses and physical therapists since the 1970's. Low power lasers were used in aiding in the relief of pain for many years around the world.
It usually takes about 10 sessions to see and feel the results of the K-Laser. It has helped in the relief of carpel tunnel, back pain, arthritis and fibromyalgia. Lasers have been known to enhance angiogenisis which is the creation of new blood vessels, increase lymphatic flow, increase metabolism and increase tissue strength.
By using the K-Laser one can eliminate the need for surgery and drugs. There are no side effects from the sessions other than a slight warm feeling. It is a quick and easy process and is as effective as physical therapy and in some case it is better.
Taking a cue from Chinese medicine the laser is used on acupuncture meridians and pressure points by stimulating them. It helps to heal injuries faster and strengthens tissue to aid in its ability to repair itself. The lymphatic system drains better and the blood flow can increase.
