FLORISSANT/HAZELWOOD K-LASER CERTIFIED PRACTIONER
K-Laser Therapy at EPIC Life Chiropractic & Wellness in Florissant, MO
When you're hurting from a chronic pain problem or a recent injury, you may be searching for ways to feel better and heal thoroughly without having to take massive doses of pills or go through the extended trauma of corrective surgery. Fortunately, the human body can find what it needs to repair itself in certain frequencies of amplified light. Here at EPIC Life Chiropractic & Wellness, our Florissant chiropractor can use a technology called K-Laser therapy to ease pain and promote healing.
How K-Laser Therapy Works
K-Laser therapy is a state-of-the-art technique for helping the body's cells manage their own repair and regenerative process more effectively. Unlike surgical lasers, this low-level medical laser penetrates tissue without cutting or vaporizing it. This harmless, painless penetration allows the laser light to act on underlying tissues that have sustained damage. In a process called photobiomodulation, the energy of the laser triggers cell components to start making more of a substance called ATP, which fuels the rebuilding of tissues for faster, more complete healing. The laser energy also stimulates blood flow, reducing pain, swelling, and inflammation.
A typical K-laser therapy session is quick and easy for the patient. All you have to do relax comfortably on the treatment table as we direct the laser beam on the area in need of treatment. As with many other kinds of therapy, you'll most likely get the best results from multiple, regularly-scheduled sessions. You may even decide to use K-Laser therapy as your preferred means of chronic pain management, especially since it's safe enough to undergo as frequently as you like.
Benefits of K-Laser Therapy
Not all laser therapy devices offer the same degree of healing and pain relief. Many older lasers are Class 3 devices, which emit a form of red light that cannot penetrate tissues very deeply. The K-Laser belongs to the superior category known as Class 4. This means it emits an infrared beam that can penetrate to a depth of several centimeters, treating tissues unreachable by older laser technologies. The higher-power beam also covers a wider treatment area, making it useful for more extensive problems.

Summus Medical Laser
The Summus Medical Laser is one of the most advanced treatment options available when it comes to pain relief and helping the body heal at a much faster rate. Our chiropractor can easily incorporate the use of the Summus Medical Laser, also known as the K-Laser, into the treatment we provide at our practice. The technology works along with other aspects of chiropractic care to hasten the healing process and reduce recovery time, while at the same time ensuring proper healing.
How the K-Laser Works
The K-laser is non-invasive and works at the cellular level, stimulating cells to produce more ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) that they will need during the rejuvenation and repair process. The system uses a low-level laser to penetrate through soft tissues so that a specific group of cells may be targeted. There are no incisions and no wounds. The laser draws freshly oxygenated blood to the area, improving blood flow and reducing inflammation. Cells are prompted to begin the healing process and can gradually begin to repair themselves.
The Benefits of K-Laser Therapy
There are several benefits to using the K-laser. Because the laser is non-invasive, there are no wounds or incisions that need to heal as a result of therapy. The laser's ability to stimulate the cells into producing what they need to heal themselves allows the healing process to begin almost immediately. There are no harmful drugs and no surgical procedures required. Using the laser addresses the cause of a person's discomfort. As the area begins to heal, there is less pain and inflammation allowing for better range of motion and improved flexibility.
What Conditions Can the K-Laser Be Used for?
The K-Laser can be used for a wide variety of injuries and health conditions. It can be used to treat the following:
- Neuropathy
- Neck pain
- Back pain
- Chronic pain
- Strains, sprains, and pulls
- Osteoarthritis
- Tendinitis
- And many more
The advanced technology associated with the K-Laser complements other treatments that are included as part of a chiropractic care plan. Laser therapy allows for treatment to be isolated to the area in which the injury or illness is most prominent.
