Low Level Laser Therapy Treatment: How It Helps Pain-related Disorders Including Fibromyalgia

TORONTO - Sept. 21, 2016 - PRLog -- What is LLLT
Handy Cure Laser uses low-level pulsed infrared lasers, visible red light & static magnetic fields in a portable device that is suitable for home use. The Handy Cure is a versatile, user-friendly, and cost-effective method that can be used to treat a wide range of ailments & disorders.

How does Handy Cure work?
By emitting laser light through low-level laser diode, 4 infrared LEDs, and 4 red LEDs, it delivers speedy synergistic therapeutic results. Patients have responded favorably to LLLT, and a growing body of empirical research supports these findings.

There are 5,000+ peer-reviewed clinical research articles in the scientific literature supporting the use of LLLT.  This research spans many medical specialties including orthopedics, neurology, rheumatology, dermatology, cardiology, etc.

Magnetic field therapy has applications in the management of painful musculoskeletal problems due to its rehabilitative, regenerative, analgesic, + relaxing effects.

Handy Cure's benefits/features:
· Uses 3 different light wavelengths for customizable care: 905nm, 875 nm, and 635nm
· Relieves acute and chronic pain
· Improves micro-circulation & reduces inflammation
· Non-invasive, non-toxic, pain-free, no side effects
· Can reduce client dependence on analgesics & anti-inflammatory drugs
· Effective as both a standalone or supplementary treatment
· Rechargeable integral lithium battery for economic and Eco-friendly use
· Class 1M laser
· Class 2a Medical Device

Fibromyalgia
Often misdiagnosed as Arthritis, its common characteristics include widespread pain in muscles and joints, fatigue, anxiety, depression, and a decreased pain threshold. Fibromyalgia can cause you to feel pain all over your body. You might find that some parts of your body are tender or even too painful to touch.

More Musculoskeletal Applications
Chow et al (2009) concluded that LLLT can ameliorate both acute and chronic neck pain. A literature review was conducted on 16 randomized, controlled trials that involved over 800 patients with neck pain that was not sourced to specific causes. Researchers concluded that LLLT was an effective means of reducing acute pain and providing mid-term relief of chronic aches.

A review conducted by Huang et al (2015) determined that LLLT could benefit sufferers of chronic low-back pain by stimulating cell growth and circulation. These findings were supported by research by Djavid et al (2007), who concluded that a combination of exercise and LLLT was more effective for managing lower back pain than exercise alone.

The Handy Cure has also been proven effective as a short-term treatment for pain caused by rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, and chronic joint disorders (Bjordal et al, 2003; Brosseau et al, 2005).

By improving circulation and blood flow, LLLT shortens the duration of ischaemic episodes and minimizes associated pain and discomfort.
