Best Laser Treatments - Pain Management without Pills!

In this post, Best Laser Treatments will investigate the use of the low level laser for pain management.

Many people suffer from chronic pain? What they really need is pain management, but don’t want to take drugs that have side effects ... wouldn't it be even better if the source of the pain could be fixed! Low level laser treatment might be the answer to many prayers.

In the early 1960’s, researchers discovered that light could stimulate a response at the cellular level of tissues in the body, resulting in increased energy levels. Whether the pain is from an injury or disease, laser therapy increases the energy in the body's cells to metabolize at a higher rate. This speeds its natural ability to heal, reduce and relieve pain and in turn, the body converts the laser light into a form of energy that it can use to repair itself and function at a higher level.

Low level laser therapy, also referred to as biostimulation, low energy, low reactive, low intensity, soft and or cold laser are changing the way medical doctors, chiropractors, physical therapists, and other health care professionals assist healing and pain management. Low level laser therapy is a light source treatment that generates light of a single wavelength. It emits no heat, sound, or vibration. LLLT uses photochemical reactions in the cells, also referred to as photobiology or biostimulation to produce results. At this time the low level laser, or , LLLT uses low output levels (15100 mW), short treatment times (10-240 seconds), and low energy levels (1-4 J/cm2).


Results suggest that laser radiation and monochromatic light may alter cell, stimulate collagen production, alter the DNA synthesis, and improve the function of damaged neurological tissue.

Low level laser therapy may:

1. Increase ATP production by the mitochondria ,increase oxygen consumption on the cellular level, which may result in muscle relaxation
2. Increase serotonin and increase endorphins
3. Increase anti-inflammatory effects through reduced prostaglandin synthesis
4. Improve blood circulation to the skin for neuralgia and diabetic neuropathy
5. Decrease permeability of the membrane of the nerve cells
6. Increase lymphatic flow and decreased edema


By using low level laser therapy many conditions can be treated when it comes to pain management. Conditions like chronic arthritis, tendonitis, carpal tunnel syndrome, neuropathy and fibromyalgia all benefit from the use of the low level laser. Unlike the surgical laser that burns and cuts tissue the low level laser does not have any side effects.

Best Laser treatments gives the low level laser and cold laser therapy a thumbs up. The benefits are many … avoid surgery, eliminate pain and return to a healthier life. Sounds like a pretty sweet deal to me!
Soon you may be doing the Happy Dance!

  1. Excellent read, I just passed this onto a colleague who was doing a little research on that.
