Take Aim at Chronic Pain- A New Weapon to Effectively Treat Pain Without Harmful Side Effects
In the United States, it is estimated that 56 million individuals suffer from some form of chronic pain annually. The prevalence of chronic pain accounts for the greatest number of work absenteeism than any other group of diseases, and the prevalence of chronic pain reports is estimated to increase. Often, people with acute or chronic pain (low back pain, knee pain, or persistent neck stiffness and pain) will quickly turn to over-the-counter medicine for relief, however, the FDA recently issued strict warnings regarding the misuse and overdosing of the over-the-counter pain medications due to severe complications such as stomach ulcers, hearing disorders and liver failure.

FX 635 Laser: How it Works
FX 635Low Level LaserTherapy (LLLT) or cold laser, is a painless, sterile, non-invasive, drug-free modality that is used for a variety of conditions such as acute and chronic pain. The low level laser technology and patented laser diode arms precisely target the pain centers. It reduces inflammation while promoting bio-stimulation at a cellular level in the musculoskeletal point of the pain’s origination. During the laser treatment, the light will penetrate the skin and is absorbed by receptors within the mitochondria. The mitochondria is the energy manufacturer of a cell. Receptor stimulation with light promotes energy production, biochemical reactions, protein and growth factor synthesis, cell growth and proliferation and enhanced blood and oxygen flow.
Patients with chronic pain who choose FX 635 treatment experience improved comfort and quality of life without the risks associated with the side effects of opioids and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs or NSAIDs that can cause ulcers, bleeding, kidney disease and heart attacks.
Further Benefits of Low-Level Laser For Back Pain
In addition to the FX 635’s qualities as a drug-free, non-invasive option for back pain treatment, patients and physicians turn to it for the following benefits:
Works in conjunction with other treatments: Low-Level Laser treatment for pain can supplement other traditional treatments for the condition, such as chiropractic and muscle stimulation. Because the FX 635 helps patients return to an active lifestyle, other treatments that work on positive muscle stimulation work in unison with its healing effects.
A viable option to surgery: Low-Level Laser Therapy provides a far less physically intrusive option for low back pain relief. In addition, without the recuperation period associated with post-surgery recovery, the FX 635 allows patients to feel comfort and relief much faster than they do during the often painful and long recovery period associated with surgery.
