This is not like other types of pain. An acute soreness can be severe, but it passes after a while. A chronic condition, however, stays with you for weeks, months, or even years. It is with you constantly, causing discomfort daily and eventually affecting just about everything you do and every aspect of your life. If this sounds familiar, you may want to consider the possibility of light therapy as treatment.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-207072\" src=\"https:\/\/old.photizo.net\/za\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2020\/11\/chronic-pain-relief.jpg\" alt=\"chronic pain relief\" width=\"553\" height=\"400\" \/>Typically, chronic pain is defined as a soreness that lasts for at least three to six months \u2013 often even longer \u2013 and which often does not respond well to treatment. This is different from a general headache, stomach cramp, or the soreness you feel when cutting a finger or pulling a muscle, which can often be treated by addressing the root cause. Some of the leading causes of chronic pain include arthritis, back problems, past injuries or surgeries, nerve damage, infections, and fibromyalgia.<\/p>\n<p>The use of painkillers is often suggested, but is also not the ideal solution, as one cannot simply carry on taking painkillers daily for an extended period of time. This could lead to other side effects, including getting desensitised to the effect of the pills, or even becoming dependent on them after a while, depending on the type of medication. Light therapy does not pose this risk.<\/p>\n<h3>What Is Light Therapy Treatment and How Does It Work?<\/h3>\n<p>The healing power of light has been known to people for centuries. Today, Photizo has made it possible to harness this healing power and apply it in the comfort of your own home, using the handheld <a href=\"https:\/\/old.photizo.net\/za\/photizo-pain-relief\/\">Photizo Pain Relief device<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>By using red and infrared light at specific wavelengths and frequencies, the healing process can be accelerated. It helps to reduce the sensitivity of neural pathways and causes the body to release endorphins that provide a nontoxic, natural form of pain relief.<\/p>\n<p>Applying the light therapy treatment is very easy. You simply place the head of the device on the area where the chronic pain is experienced and press the power button. Keep it there until the timed treatment ends. It is non-invasive and not painful at all.<\/p>\n<p>If you are looking for relief, consider investing in light therapy for chronic pain treatment. <a href=\"https:\/\/old.photizo.net\/za\/contact-us\/\">Contact Photizo today<\/a> for more information, or to find out how you can get your hand on a device.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Efficacy of Light Therapy for Chronic Pain Treatment Anyone who has suffered from chronic pain knows how constant this is, and how urgent it feels to find a way to obtain relief, even if just temporarily.
