Neck Pain – Neck Pain Treatment – Beam Of Light Can Help Cure Neck Pain
Low intensity lasers may help treat neck pain, according to a new Australian study. Results for the non-invasive treatment were comparable to those for other treatments, including painkillers and anti-inflammatories. In the study, 820 patients with neck pain were given the therapy, which involves firing low-power laser beams at the back or side of the neck, where the pain is located.
The lasers penetrate the skin to a depth of several centimetres, but are not painful and do not generate damaging heat.
Patients with acute neck pain experienced an immediate reduction in pain, while those with chronic neck pain improved over the five months following treatment, say the researchers from the University of Sydney, Australia.
The treatment works by tackling compounds that cause inflammation.
Alternative treatment only a quick fix – Martin Haines
“Lasers and other forms of electrotherapy have been around for many years, and they can provide some welcome relief. It has been well established however that although these quick fixes can be useful, they are often only temporary and it is important to have a longer term view on any condition and address the causes of your pain as well as the symptoms themselves. Often you will find that if your upper back is stiff, you have a history of shoulder injuries, if you have stiff hips, a leg length discrepancy, even tight nerves can all cause neck pain.
Also your workstation may not be set up correctly, you may not have the right chair for you, your pillow may not be suitable or even the way you sit to watch TV may be causing your pain. To have any hope of a longer term solution look further than the pain itself – find out the causes”. Martin Haines – Pain Control Expert

About Neck Pain
Neck pain (or cervicalgia) is a common problem, with two-thirds of the population having neck pain at some point in their lives.
Neck pain, although felt in the neck, can be caused by numerous other spinal issues. Neck pain may arise due to muscular tightness in both the neck and upper back, or pinching of the nerves emanating from the cervical vertebrae. Joint disruption in the neck creates pain, as does joint disruption in the upper back.
The head is supported by the lower neck and upper back, and it is these areas that commonly cause neck pain. The top three joints in the neck allow for most movement of your neck and head. The lower joints in the neck and those of the upper back create a supportive structure for your head to sit on. If this support system is affected adversely, then the muscles in the area will tighten, leading to neck pain.
