K-Laser Therapy in Commerce Township

Our Commerce Township chiropractors are proud to offer top of the line cold laser therapy with the K-Laser treatment.

How Cold Laser Therapy works

Treating patients naturally and effectively with Cold Laser Therapy to bio stimulate tissue repair with a Class IV 15 Watt high powered K-Laser is now available at Oakland Chiropractic Clinic. The therapeutic laser treatments are safe, and when it comes to pain management may provide dramatic results. When tissues are damaged, cells begin to die and scar tissue begins to form which can slow or even limit the healing process. K Laser units are specifically engineered to produce the essential wavelength of light necessary to stimulate damaged cells and promote blood flow and healing. This non invasive laser therapy is now being used with great success in the treatment of soft tissue injuries in conjunction with Chiropractic adjustments.

Treatment Time and Relief

Laser sessions are very short, typically ranging from 6-8 minutes; with results in just a few treatments. Often, just a warm sensation is felt during the treatment. Basically, three things happen during K-Laser treatment. First, infrared laser therapy treatment helps reduce pain, reduce inflammation, and enhance tissue healing—both in hard and soft tissues, including muscles, ligaments, or even bones.

How Can Cold Laser Therapy Help

Laser Therapy is similar to both Ultrasound and Electrical Stimulation. During each treatment, laser energy increases circulation, reduces inflammation and swelling while increasing circulation to the affected area. Numerous studies have shown the effectiveness of laser therapy in the treatment of arthritis, back and neck pain, carpal tunnel, knee and shoulder pain, foot and ankle problems, sports injuries and fibromyalgia just to name a few. At Oakland Chiropractic, we use the medical grade K LASER with amazing effectiveness and results.

The K-Laser can produce up to 15 watts, and the laser light is allowed to diffuse to a spot size about that of a quarter. The infrared wavelengths used in the K-Laser allow for targeting specific areas of the body. The K-Laser is unique in that it is the only Class 4 therapy laser that utilizes these three infrared wavelengths, allowing for deep penetration into the body to reach areas such as your spine and hip, as well as a 100-milliwatt, 660-nanometer visible red which, again, is excellent for superficial wounds.
