When it comes to the aspects of our daily lives, it’s safe to say we typically adhere to a schedule. We work certain hours, eat at certain times, attend the gym or other activities at certain times, etc. Regardless, there is always a sense of structure in what we do and when we do it. Pain, on the other hand, doesn’t work that way. Pain does not adhere to a schedule and can occur at any time, even when we least expect it. Ergo, it’s imperative that we stay prepared should pain arise out of seemingly nowhere.

While many of us would love to take a trip to the physiotherapist when pain arises, it’s not plausible to do so every time. Thus, methods of alleviating pain at home are a realistic and necessary option. Low-level laser therapy (LLLT) delivers a high-level of pain relief and can be done so in the comfort of your own home or just about anywhere. This can help you avoid constant trips to your doctor so you can get relief on your own terms. LLLT pain relief at home simultaneously mixes convenience, relief, and comfort - all in one!

Why is convenience so important when it comes to pain relief?

Alongside fast-acting, convenience is something a majority of people look for when it comes to pain relief. Pain can strike anywhere, at any time, ergo, having a form of relief from it when it does arise is expected from most. Visiting the doctor every time pain occurs isn’t plausible and while it may be the favourable option for some, it just isn’t convenient. Convenient methods of pain relief can provide peace of mind should pain arise knowing that there is aid within reach.

What makes LLLT devices so convenient?

LLLT devices are on-the-go or use-at-home pain relief devices. They are compact enough to fit into bags or purses, making them easy to travel with. Alongside their compact size, they have a long-lasting battery life; lasting up to 18 hours continuously on a single charge. Due to their long battery life, there is no need to go searching for a place to charge the device every so often.

Another key factor that makes LLLT devices so convenient is how user-friendly the devices are. With minimal buttons in the control panel, the device can be understood and used in a matter of seconds. Despite the complexity of the device's internals, the usability of the device is far from complex.

Where are LLLT devices typically used?

As mentioned previously, pain does not adhere to a schedule, thus, LLLT devices are utilized in a wide array of places. Most notably, LLLT devices are used;

• In clinics/doctors offices

• At home

• At work

• On vacation

• On long trips (plane, car, train, etc)

Pain medications are convenient as well, what gives LLLT devices the upper hand?

There is no denying that pain medication such as ibuprofen, acetaminophen, and other anti-inflammatories are convenient. Compact in size, pills are easy to store in just about any bag or even on a person themselves. However, what gives LLLT devices the upper hand is the lack of associated long-term symptoms. Over time, pain medications may pale in effectiveness if taken consistently. You may find one regular pill use to work and not two extra-strength pills cannot do the trick. The body adapts and gets used to what is being put into it and eventually, the effects of the medication may not be what they once were. LLLT devices work from the outside in, accelerating inflamed tissue recovery and improving microcirculation. Due to the natural approach of LLLT devices, consistent use won’t dull the effects.

Another concern many have with pain relief methods is side effects. Side effects can be short-term; occurring around the time one utilizes a pain relief method, or long-term; occurring over a significant period of time. Pain relief medication can cause short-term symptoms in some cases and if taken consistently, can pose damage to the body over time. Thus, it is important to limit the use of pain medications and only use when absolutely necessary. LLLT devices, on the other hand, pose little to no symptoms or side effects. The technology can be utilized frequently without causing overall harm to the body. The device is so safe, it can even be utilized on pets!

Whether you suffer from acute pain or chronic pain, finding convenient, fast-acting, and safe relief can be a journey and requires some trial and error. Luckily, LLLT devices can help put a happy end to the journey. The safety and effectiveness of the device make it a great option for both short-term and long-term pain.
