- Is it true that really innovative therapeutic strategies are being developed in Laser therapy today?
Yes, it is. The synchronization of continuous and modulated Laser emissions with different wavelengths, achieved through the innovative technology, permits us to obtain the synergy of the single effects (antioedema, anti-inflammatory, antalgic). This allows us to perform shorter therapies, and achieve extremely better results. Low level therapy under 500mw is outdated technology, and this is why doctors need to be aware that new technology has been developed. K-Laser is the frontrunner is this new technology with the first laser to emit a dual Infrared wavelength simultaneous in a continuous mode or a modulated mode.
- Does Laser therapy cause any side effect?
Side effects are rare and transitory. Some patients have reported a mild increase of pain when the laser touches an area of pain. This is usually brief and subsides quickly. Temporary redness can also develop in the region of treatment, this occurs from the vasodilatation effect of laser therapy.
- How many Laser sessions are necessary?
Up to ten sessions is sufficient.
- Are the protective goggles obligatory both for patients and Laser operators?
Yes. The protective devices are needed to protect eyes. Direct exposition to Laser light can cause eye disorders, and damage the retina.
- What is the power of Laser therapy devices?
Power of diode Laser devices used in Laser therapy can vary and depends on the modality of emission. Most lasers on the market today in the USA have a power range from 5mw to 500mw Continuous Lasers. The K-laser will emit a power range from 1000mw to 6000mw making this a high power laser.
- Some patients say they feel heat even if they are treated with high power Laser emission. Is Laser therapy based on thermal effects?
The effectiveness of Laser therapy does not depend on thermal effects. The energy is delivered to tissues directly, and not through heat. The heat sensation is an indirect effect, due to the increase in the local circulation of the treated area.
- Can the same therapeutic effects be achieved with a non-coherent light source?
The therapeutic effects are much greater if the emission is coherent. The bio-stimulative effects of coherent infrared and near infrared laser occur at the cellular level, releasing nitric oxide from hemoglobin and enzymatic reactions in the cell and mitochondria.

"I have seen patients with serious physical pain come into my offices who, sometimes after only one treatment, walk out pain free," explains Dr. Melissa Ritter D.C. "The laser does not always cure problems, but it can, in many cases, completely eliminate the painful effects of a series of pain conditions."
