Neck Pain

What are the causes of neck pain? How can neck pain be treated and what are the benefits of the Laser?

We do not realize how much we use our neck until something goes wrong.

Neck pain is a very common problem, and in the past few years, the use of low- level laser has become a popular and effective treatment worldwide.

Approximately 70% of the population experiences neck pain at some point during their lifetime. Constant pressure on the neck vertebrae as a result of lengthy driving, improper posture while sitting at the computer, sitting underneath the air conditioner, lifting heavy loads and many other factors can cause neck pain, migraines, and project pain to the shoulders, arms, and forearms.

A number of disorders, injuries and diseases can cause pain. Deterioration of the neck vertebrae, whiplash injury due to trauma causing the head to move forward and backward very rapidly, or from a herniated disc between the neck vertebrae, placing pressure on a nerve.

Neck pain can also evolve from infections connected to the throat, lymph glands, meningitis or other illnesses and medical conditions such as fibromyalgia, polymyalgia, and arthritis.

Neck pain may be treated via rest, exercise, massage, physical therapy, chiropractic treatment, acupuncture, cortisone injections, and anesthetic creams.

The Laser for Treating Neck Pain

Today, many patients seek relief from neck pain using low-level laser therapy (LLLT).

Research has shown that LLLT is an effective therapy for alleviating pain in musculoskeletal injuries. (Bjordal 2003; Marini 2010; Öz 2010) and arthritis (Brosseau 2005).

Dr. Roberta Chow from the University of Sydney, Australia, surveyed data from 16 controlled trials totaling 820 people, treated for neck pain using LLLT.

People suffering from chronic neck pain who underwent laser treatments were four times more likely to experience reduced pain than those treated with a placebo.

“The results of LLLT in this review compare favorably with other widely used therapies and especially with pharmacological interventions, for which evidence is sparse and side effects are common.” (The Lancet).

Neck pain is predicted to be a medical condition of increasing importance in the USA and other countries due to a growing elderly population. Therefore, a treatment that does not rely on drug intervention and has no apparent side effects is desirable.

A clinical study on the The Laser carried out at Parma University in Italy proved the significant efficacy of  The Laser for the treatment of joints.

The Laser for the Treatment of Neck Pain

The Laser provides breakthrough laser therapy, offering the power of some professional lasers as used in clinics, in a lightweight portable device that may be used from the comfort of home.

The treatment is safe, effective and may provide lasting pain relief.

The Laser’s restorative power is provided by advanced laser technology.

The Laser should be placed in contact with the skin allowing the photon energy to penetrate the tissues. This stimulates the body to produce adenosine triphosphate otherwise known as ATP, which carries energy within the cells. The ATP interacts with various biomolecules inside the cells promoting normal cell function and enhancing the body’s natural processes.

Patients recover from muscular, skeletal, and nerve injuries as cells regenerate faster and function better.

Research has proved that using the The Laser for painful knee conditions provides cells with more energy to perform their functions.

Therapeutic effects of LLLT (laser phototherapy) include:

  • Increased production of ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate)
  • Increased cellular metabolism
  • Increased collagen production
  • Increased enzyme production
  • Increased protein synthesis
  • Improved blood circulation
  • Improved lymphatic flow and drainage
  • Reduced inflammation

All this serves to boost the body’s natural healing power, targeting the root causes of pain and providing rapid relief.

The Laser is unique due to it’s beam that covers a surface of 4.5 cm, making it possible to treat a wide range of painful conditions easily, effectively and quickly.

The Laser is now available for home use and has been proven clinically effective and safe. The treatment has no known side effects and is a non-invasive method for treating many types of orthopedic conditions.

The Laser is safe for all ages, and does not require protective eyewear during use.

What are the benefits of  The Laser?

  • May reduce chronic pain
  • Non-invasive and non-surgical treatment
  • Suitable for all ages
  • No known side effects
  • Clinically proven by many studies
  • Easy and safe for home use
