Constant body aches and pains can be frustrating. They can distract you from your job, family and hobbies. They prevent you from performing and being the best version of yourself. We should all have the ability to live pain-free and live life to the fullest, so why are we letting aches and pains take over? In this blog post, we will uncover pain management options at Victoria’s Cosmetic Medical Clinic and learn the processes and treatments.
Any description of pain can be frustrating and take away from what’s important in life. Pain is a complex experience that can have a profound impact on your physical and emotional well-being. Pain management aims to ultimately help you take control of your physical function and improve your quality of life.
The laser is placed directly over the area of pain for 30 seconds to several minutes, depending on the size of the area being treated and the intensity of the laser being used.
Once the laser energy passes through the layers of skin and reaches the target area, it is absorbed and interacts with the light-sensitive elements in the cell. When cells absorb this light energy, it initiates a series of events that eventually result in mending damaged or injured tissue, a reduction in pain, inflammation, and an overall reduction in healing time.
Under the care of a qualified practitioner, low-level laser therapy is considered to be very safe. Laser therapy is non-invasive and painless, so you can be treated with no downtime and no side effects.
To achieve short and medium-term pain relief, it may take either one or two sessions and for long-term pain relief, it may take several more.
Chronic pain can be defined as pain that persists longer than 12 weeks. This could involve pain associated with past injuries, arthritis, or other medical conditions. Chronic pain can be difficult, as it is uncertain whether the pain will ever go away.
Laser therapy uses Low-Level Lasers, which affect the healing process at a cellular level. They work by stimulating healing and new tissue regeneration, which reduces chronic inflammation by affecting compounds in the body related to pain and inflammation.
Low-level laser therapy is proven to reduce pain in the short, medium and long term. Relief from pain can come just minutes after treatment. In hours to days after the treatment, cells responsible for pain and inflammation diminish. The long-term pain relief associated with low-level laser therapy occurs within a week or two after treatments and can last for months or years as a result of the stimulation of natural tissue healing.
If you experience recurring back, neck or other pain, laser therapy is an excellent choice.
Short-term pain can be solved in just minutes after the treatment. At Victoria’s, we use a handheld low-level laser device, which allows us to treat any part of the body effectively without complications.
Back and neck pain are common problems for many people. You are most likely being limited by your pain, which is preventing you from doing the things you love. Shoulders are another common location many people experience pain.
Laser therapy has been used for many years on sports injuries, and can be a particularly great choice as it offers a drug-free, surgery-free and painless alternative compared to other methods of pain and injury management. Low-level lasers can effectively be used to reduce pain, swelling and inflammation within a period of hours to weeks, with no downtime.
Just some of the injuries that can be treated are:
Low-Level Lasers can effectively be used to reduce pain, swelling and inflammation within a period of hours to weeks, with no downtime, so you will be free to go back to work as soon as your pain subsides, rather than waiting for months after invasive surgery.
The low-level lasers improve tissue repair, ultimately reducing pain and inflammation wherever the light ray is applied. When cells absorb this light energy, it initiates a series of events that eventually result in mending damaged or injured tissue, a reduction in pain, inflammation, and an overall reduction in healing time. The stimulation of cell repair and rejuvenation can also lead to a reduction in the appearance of scar tissue and burns.
