K-Laser Therapy
Owner & Handler consent form
K-Laser therapy is a safe and effective therapy for relief of pain and reduction of symptoms associated with mild arthritis and muscle pain and for accelerated wound healing. K-Laser also promotes relaxation of muscle spasm and promotes vasodilation and enhanced circulation.
Adverse effects of laser therapy may occur from multiple causes including hypersensitivity, pre-existing health conditions, thermal effects, excessive pressure from the probe, and laser tissue over-stimulation. Direct laser light can cause damage to the retina in your eye due to lack of blink reflex to infra-red laser beams.
Possible adverse effects
- Temporary increase in pain during application of laser.
- Temporary increase in pain the following day after laser therapy.
- Mild bruising from vasodilation or direct pressure of the laser probe on the skin surface.
- Temporary dizziness.
- Reactions when photosensitising drugs are used with laser therapy.
