Laser Therapy
Why Knot? is now offering Laser Therapy Sessions! We are so excited to introduce the Class IV Therapeutic Laser to our clients. This remarkable new device is used for the treatment of acute and chronic conditions to accelerate the healing process. It offers non-invasive treatment for improving many types of pain and injuries. It is an effective alternative to surgical procedures, does not require the use of drugs, and has virtually no side effects.
How does laser therapy work?
This approach works by stimulating the body's natural healing process, providing pain relief and repairing injured tissues. Photons of infrared light penetrate through the skin and are absorbed by special components in your body's cells called chromophores. Just as photosynthesis creates energy for plants to grow, the absorption of the photons by your cells causes increased production of cellular energy. Vitamin D is another example of the photochemical process and how light affects cells.
Using infrared light in areas of damage or injury means there is more available energy for accelerated healing. This is called biostimulation. Because of its biostimulatory nature, laser therapy helps poorly functioning cells by providing available energy to accelerated healing.
Laser energy increases ATP production (cellular energy) and circulation, which draws water, oxygen and nutrients to the damaged area. As the injured area returns to normal, function is restored and pain is relieved. Patients treated with laser therapy often show improvement both during and after treatment in the following ways:
Reduced Inflammation
Reduced Muscle Spasms
Reduced Stiffness
Reduced Pain
Nerve Regeneration
Improved Lymph Flow
Improved Circulation
Reduced Scar Tissue
Relaxation
Improve Joint Motion
Antimicrobial
Improved Immune Response
Accelerated Cell Growth and Tissue Repair

What are the risks?
When it comes to pain management, laser treatments are extremely safe and can provide amazing results. Laser treatments should never be given directly over the eye or the thyroid gland. Laser treatment is entirely safe to deliver directly over metal implants, over broken skin, and on acute injuries.
Is there any pain or side effects associated
with Class IV Laser Therapy?
The laser should be painless and has no side effects when applied by a properly trained professional. During treatment the patient experiences a gentle warming effect and at times, a profound feeling of relaxation. Muscle stiffness may be felt the following day. Occasionally some old injuries or pain syndromes may feel aggravated for a few days as the healing response is more active after treatment.
