High Intensity Laser Therapy
Advanced high Intensity therapy for rapid results.
What Is Laser Therapy?
Our office uses Class IV Lasers which provides a specialized form of laser therapy to promote rapid healing and provide natural pain relief. We choose to use laser therapy as a natural alternative for patients, rather than depending on surgery, injections or drugs for treatment and relief. We are certified in the use of a Class IV high intensity laser. We know laser therapy accelerates the healing process by increasing circulation, enhancing tissue repair and decreasing inflammation and pain.

How It Works
Our office uses safe and painless high intensity laser therapy to trigger a number of functions of healing at the cellular level. These include improving circulation, which boosts your immune response and stimulates healthy healing of injured or damaged tissue.
Laser therapy uses a scientific method called photo biomodulation to achieve these cell-level changes through delivering specific red and near-infrared wavelengths to the site of the injury.
Class IV laser therapy is non-invasive. Furthermore, therapeutic treatment laser therapy does not burn or cut through the skin because the action is photochemical, not thermal like surgical lasers. After a treatment, you will likely begin seeing positive effects almost instantaneously. However, we recommend 6 to 10 treatments for long-term pain relief and injury healing.
Joint and Muscle Pain Relief
The most beneficial use for Class IV laser therapy is pain relief. Using laser treatments, we can offer pain relief for inflammatory conditions, such as muscle spasms, plantar fasciitis, carpal tunnel syndrome, and bursitis. We also use this treatment for damaged ligament pain relief. If you suffer from a connective tissue disorder or injury, such as tendonitis, myo-fasciitis, radicular pain, sprains, or effusion, we can use laser treatments for tissue healing as well.
FAQs
Are there any side effects?
Through more than twenty years of use by healthcare providers all over 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 is more active after treatment.
How long does each treatment take?
The typical treatment is 5 to 10 minutes depending on the size of the area being treated.
How often do I need to be treated?
Acute conditions may be treated daily, particularly if they are accompanied by significant pain. More chronic problems respond better when treatments are received 2 - 3 times a week, tapering to once a week or once every other week, with improvement.
How many treatments does it take?
This depends on the nature of the condition being treated. For some acute conditions, 1 to 6 treatments may be sufficient. Those of a more chronic nature may require 10 to 15 (or more) treatments. Conditions such as severe arthritis may require ongoing periodic care to control pain.
How long before I feel results?
You may feel improvement in your condition (usually pain reduction) after the very first treatment. Sometimes you will not feel improvement for a number of treatments. This does not mean that the condition is not improving. Each treatment is cumulative and results are often felt after 3 or 4 sessions.
Can it be used in conjunction with other treatments?
Yes! Laser Therapy is often used with other forms of treatment, including physical therapy, chiropractic adjustments, massage, soft tissue mobilization, electrotherapy and even following surgery. Other healing modalities are complementary and can be used with laser to increase the effectiveness of the treatment.
Our Laser System vs Others
KDT High Intensity Laser Therapy delivers much more energy dosage than other lasers; this provides patients a much faster recovery with our treatments compared to other low level or cold lasers. Our KDT 45-Watt Laser delivers 100 times more energy per minute than the strongest low-level cold laser. Patients also love the heating side effect that is generated from the high intensity laser energy. The KDT Laser system also creates much more tissue penetration which allows for effective results with even the deepest and most difficult to treat pathologies. The image below will help you better understand why the KDT laser is the right choice for your problem. Our laser system can also treat pain and symptoms associated with skin conditions such as shingles, burns, open wounds, and many other problems due to our ability to adjust the power output settings and apply a pulse mode as well. High Intensity laser therapy has been shown to improve range of motion, reduce pain, and inflammation in even one treatment! Positive outcomes can be seen and felt immediately, this is why we choose this laser platform to best treat your needs.
