Pain Management
What is chronic pain?
“We always give our best to satisfy your needs”
Chronic pain is any pain that lasts for more than three month period. The pain can become progressively worse or reoccur for an extended period of time that goes beyond the standard healing process. Chronic pain can affect both men and women and is often related to lowback pain, sport injuries, or arthritic pain. This type of pain can cause a significant decrease in quality of life, both physically and emotionally, as one is limited in their ability to fully function.
Pain Management
Fotona’s advanced technology provides an alternative method to treat and manage pain effectively without the common risks of typical methods like pain medication. While pain medications often lead to addiction and dependency, a fotona laser treatment is a natural and effective way to reduce or eliminate chronic pain. This treatment is specifically beneficial to those suffering from fibromyalgia, arthritis and sports related injuries. Both men and women suffering from chronic pain can benefit from this treatment.
How does a laser treatment help chronic pain?
By applying targeted heat into the muscle tissues and skin, the tissues are loosened allowing the lymphatic fluid to flow easier. With easier flow of the lymphatic fluid, swelling is reduced which releases tension and pain in the targeted area. The heat also stimulates the creation of connective tissues to strengthen the area experiencing pain. The fotona laser has special settings that allow the technician to penetrate heat deeper and more effectively compared to other lasers.
What can I expect from the treatment?
Each person is different but during the treatment, you can expect minimal to mild discomfort. Immediately following treatment, you may experience some redness or swelling that will diminish after a few hours. Most patients can resume their daily activities immediately following the treatment. It is best to avoid direct sun for a few days following treatment and to apply sun screen.
