K-Laser therapy: healing your pain

There is little or no sensation during treatment. Occasionally one feels mild, soothing warmth or tingling. Areas of pain or inflammation may be sensitive briefly before pain reduction.

During more than twenty years of use by healthcare providers all over the world, very few side effects have ever 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.

The typical treatment is 3 to 9 minutes, depending on the size of the area being treated.

Acute conditions may be treated daily, particularly if accompanied by significant pain. More chronic problems respond better when treatments are received 2 to 3 times a week, tapering to once a week or once every other week, with improvement.

This depends on the condition. Some acute conditions need 1 to 6 treatments; more chronic problems may require 10 to 15 or more. Conditions such as severe arthritis may require ongoing periodic care to control pain.

You may feel improvement (usually pain reduction) after the very first treatment. Sometimes you will not feel improvement for a number of treatments — each treatment is cumulative and results are often felt after 3 or 4 sessions.
