You can improve the time it takes to heal and decrease pain. In use for many years, the laser has just recently been approved for use by the FDA in the United States. Call St. Paul K-Laser to get more information.
Studies have shown the effects of laser therapy can assist with such conditions as trigeminal neuralgia, ligament sprains, carpel tunnel, sport injuries and many more injuries and disorders. The benefit from laser therapy is increased circulation, more oxygen is brought to the injured site and drainage is improved. Wound healing is increased and inflammation is decreased. It is non-addictive and free of side effects.
Used in pain management, class IV lasers use a high powered laser. It is safe but the patient must wear protective goggles during the procedure. Chronic pain requires approximately 2 to 3 visits a week lessening to one visit a week and then to twice a month. In several sessions you could see results. People have felt a difference after only one visit.
Often used along with other modalities like physical therapy, massage, electrotherapy and after surgery the other methods are complementary to the laser session. Use of more than one modality can increase the effects of each session and lessen the time for recovery. Each session will take only about 3 to 9 minutes and there is only a mild and soothing warmth felt from the laser.
Eliminating the need for surgery is the best reason to try laser therapy. Eliminating the need to take addictive drugs is another good reason. Getting back to normal function and eliminating pain can be achieved more quickly using laser therapy. The tissue is stimulated and therefore healing takes place much faster.
This painless method of dealing with otherwise painful conditions is safe and non-invasive. At St. Paul K-Laser you will find people trained in this technology. In the past only physical therapists, doctors and nurses were familiar with laser therapy. As it becomes more popular more people will be trained in the use of laser therapy.
