Light energy from a class IV laser interacts synergistically at the site of injury to relieve pain and promote faster healing.

(Photobiomodulation)

ACCELERATE YOUR RECOVERY

We use a class IV K-laser at equilibrium. Our therapeutic laser can treat a wide range of conditions. We implement laser as a stand-alone therapy or in conjunction with our low-force Chiropractic approach to improve outcomes. Laser accelerates your recovery.

LASER PROMOTES TISSUE HEALING

We introduced the Class IV laser because of its superior ability to efficiently deliver larger doses of energy and reach deeper tissues, such as discs and deep spinal ligaments. This is especially important for our patients receiving Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression Therapy. The pleasant application of Laser energy increases blood flow to the damaged disc, drawing oxygen, proteoglycans and other nutrients into it and providing the disc with the building blocks necessary for tissue healing.

CELLULAR HEALING

This aspect of your treatment at equilibrium is directly focused on influencing cells, because ultimately, all healing starts at the cellular level. Laser therapy promotes the following benefits:

Increased blood circulation and blood vessels to new tissue

Increased collagen production

Increased muscle regeneration

Increased cartilage production

Increased bone formation

Decreased inflammation & oedema

Decreased pain

Enhanced tissue healing

How K-Laser Works

Frequently Asked Questions

If you have any additional questions, please contact us.

1. What is a K-Laser and how does it work?

Class IV K-Laser Therapy is an TGA registered therapeutic modality that manages pain and inflammation while accelerating tissue regeneration.

Laser energy increases circulation, by drawing water, oxygen, and nutrients to the damaged area.

This creates an optimal healing environment that reduces inflammation, swelling, muscle spasm, stiffness and pain.

2. Why have we implemented the use of K-Laser at equilibrium?

We’ve complimented our practice with K-Laser therapy, because we want to provide a high-tech treatment option for our patients to heal quickly, recover fully, and reduce pain.

3. How long do treatments go for?

The typical treatment is 4– 8 minutes, depending on the size of the area being treated.

4. How often do you require treatments?

Your practitioner will discuss your individualised treatment plan with you, which is dependent on your presentation. We can use Laser therapy as a stand-alone treatment, but also incorporate the use of laser with our chiropractic and spinal decompression therapy. For acute issues, approximately 6–10 treatments are recommended; chronic conditions typically require 9–12 treatments. In some advanced chronic conditions, regular laser treatments are recommended.

5. When will you start feeling better?

Some people notice a change after the first treatment, but most people will notice an improvement by the third session.
