K Laser in Rochester

What Is Laser Therapy in Rochester?

Platinum Series Class IV therapeutic lasers deliver specific red and near-infrared wavelengths of laser light to induce a photochemical reaction and therapeutic effect. Physiological effects include increased circulation, reduced inflammation, pain reduction, and enhanced tissue healing. Laser therapy has been used in Europe since the 1970s and was cleared by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 2005

Laser Therapeutic Effects

During each painless treatment in Rochester, laser energy increases circulation, drawing water, oxygen, and nutrients to the damaged area. This creates an optimal healing environment that reduces inflammation, swelling, muscle spasms, stiffness, and pain. As the injured area returns to normal, the function is restored and pain is relieved.

Cellular Effects

During laser therapy, infrared laser light interacts with tissues at the cellular level increasing metabolic activity within the cell. By improving the transport of nutrients across the cell membrane, the increased production of cellular energy (ATP) is stimulated. The cascade of beneficial effects that follows includes increased cellular function and tissue repair.

Where Do Clinical Results Really Come From?

There is always some debate as to which are the “right” parameters for which conditions. Conditions do not absorb light, tissues do, and more specifically, the photon absorbing chromophore. Beyond that, there are a variety of mechanisms involved that need to be stimulated. To this end, Platinum Series therapy lasers employ the broadest range of wavelengths and frequencies targeting each relevant tissue type. Each step in the bio-modulation mechanism, within every treatment, will have the greatest chance of enhancing all healing processes involved.
