K-Laser Therapy
Always on the cutting edge of the latest technology, Symmetry Health Center is only one of three facilities in Oakland and Alameda that offers the amazing Class IV K-Laser Therapy for more rapid and effective healing of injured joints, ligaments, tendons and muscles.
The FDA cleared, next generation, Class IV laser, called K-Laser™ is literally thousands of times more powerful than its predecessor the Class III laser, allowing it to penetrate far deeper, producing phenomenal results with fewer and faster treatments.
What is K-Laser?
As a class IV laser, the K-Laser has the ability to penetrate up to 4 inches deep! This unique ability is what allows the laser to repair damaged tissue on a cellular level. The K-Laser utilizes dual beam technology; one beam is responsible for penetrating deep to repair tissues, and the other beam is used to alleviate pain.
Why is the K-Laser such an effective healing tool?
Oxygen is one of the most essential components of healing. Unfortunately, when a region of your body is experiencing pain and inflammation, this region is also experiencing decreased oxygen supply. The K-laser increases blood circulation to the area it is treating, resulting in an increase in oxygen proliferation to these tissues. The K-Laser increases blood flow by creating tiny local temperature gradients on a molecular level that stimulate a cellular environment where blood cells are more likely to flow. In addition to oxygen proliferation, increased blood flow also provides inflamed tissues with much-needed nutrients, immune boosting cells, and maximizes the (ATP) energy output of each cell. This not only allows for a decrease in pain, but actually encourages damaged tissues to heal by rebuilding collagen.
While the Class III laser penetrated only a few millimeters, the Class IV Laser can penetrate over 4 inches deep into muscular skeletal tissue.
How can K-Laser help?
Treatments take just a few minutes, however the therapeutic effects continue to soothe and heal long after you’ve left the office.
The Class IV Laser is the first to use dual simultaneous infrared wavelengths. The Class IV laser’s dual frequencies of continuous wave and modulation allow one laser beam to penetrate deeper to heal deep tissue, while the other aids in pain relief with amazing results. Now, both chronic and acute conditions can be addressed like never before!
Each treatment is quick, drug-free, non-surgical, non-addictive, side effect-free and completely pain-free. Class IV Laser Therapy treatment increases circulation, drawing water, oxygen and nutrients to the damaged area resulting in reduced inflammation, swelling and muscle spasm, stiffness and pain. This Laser Therapy is proven to bio-stimulate tissue growth and repair.
The K-Laser™ energizes damaged cells to provide faster healing and increases circulation to the painful area, promoting a cascade of healing responses in your body, thereby decreasing inflammation and reducing or even eliminating your pain.
How much does it cost?
In an attempt to make laser treatments more affordable to our patients, we are happy to announce that we have recently cut the cost of our laser treatments by almost half! Now, one laser treatment will only cost you between $25-45 per session. We are aware how essential this service is to the healing process and want to ensure all of our patients can afford this unique and valuable service.
How many sessions do I need?
The number of sessions needed varies based on the region of complaint, severity, and length of time this inflammation has been present. We generally recommend a minimum of 6-12 visits for maximum effectiveness. Conveniently, the treatment sessions take approximately 5 minutes and can be added on to your regular chiropractic treatment.
We have seen the exceptional effects from the combination of chiropractic adjustments to mobilize to the joints, structural care to ensure the load is distributed throughout the body properly, and K-Laser therapy to heal the damaged tissue on the cellular level.
Please ask our chiropractic care in Alameda or Oakland location and doctors if you are a candidate for the safe, painless and effective K-Laser therapy in either our office!
