The good news is that there is an alternative to long-term painkillers for seniors who find themselves having to deal with chronic pain and it comes in the form Low-LeveL Laser Therapy (LLLT), which is both kind to the body and highly effective. In this blog, we take a look at LLLT in closer detail, so that you can decide if it’s right for you.
So, without further ado, let’s begin.
So, What Exactly is LLLT?
Also known as a Cold Laser, a Phototherapy Laser or a Soft Laser, the equipment used in LLLT emits a low-level laser beam into the pain-affected area. This laser penetrates the skin and triggers a chemical reaction deep under the skin, causing the reduction of pain. The reason it’s so gentle is that it causes no heating of the skin tissue and has no damaging effects whatsoever.
Is it Safe?
Absolutely, yes, as the laser light used is of such a low frequency. In fact, LLLT is so safe that during self-treatment, you don’t even have to wear protective goggles – as you would with laser surgery. Despite being so gentle, clinical studies have proven it to be extremely effective in the treatment of pain relating to inflammation, wounds and injuries. This is no idle claim either, as there are more than 100 double-blind studies that have verified its efficacy in pain management.
Until recently, low-level laser treatment was only possible via a hospital, but thanks to advances in the technology, it’s now possible to enjoy its benefits in the comfort on your own home. Not only that, but significant pain relief can be achieved in just a few minutes per day.
Feel Like Yourself Again
Chronic pain can be extremely debilitating – particularly later in life and the portable LLLT devices now available are helping more and more people in the twilight of their lives to regain their independence. They’re allowing them to do this by saying goodbye to the misery of chronic pain, and all without the need to take daily medication. Not only does LLLT effectively treat chronic pain without side-effects, but it also helps to heal the problem at source.
Treat the Pain in the Comfort of Your Own Home!
Until recently, Soft Laser treatment was given in private clinics or pain centers. Patients had to wait for their appointment and receive treatment by means of large, complicated machines. However, today, thanks to innovative technological developments, many patients suffering from various types of pain and inflammation can enjoy Soft Laser therapy safely and effectively, without leaving the comfort of their own home.
