Chronic pain. A common debilitator among men and women across the nation and studies suggest over the next few decades, percentages may reach epidemic proportions.
Enter Low Level Laser Therapy treatment, which has shown to help with tissue repair and aid in pain relief. Research is well under way with clinical trials correlating LLLT's role in reducing inflammation, nerve conduction of painful stimuli, and muscle fatigue. In fact, a recent article was published regarding the treatment of neck pain with LLLT. The results below seem promising, though perhaps, not as long lasting as most chronic sufferers would like.
"LLLT reduced pain immediately following treatment in acute neck pain and up to 22 weeks after completion of treatment in patients with chronic neck pain."
The good news is that LLLT doesn't stop there, it's light reaches a bit further still. Not only does laser therapy benefit those with neck discomfort, it also helps with patients suffering from rheumatoid arthritis, tendinopathy, and joint disorders. Benefits for those with low back pain are still materializing, along with the placement of laser over nerves vs. joints for greatest effect.
Imagine. Laser therapy helping to blind the cancer from seeing its way through the body of a patient, making them more functional and independent in everyday activities the rest of us take for granted.
It could happen.
