I utilize this form of therapy to reduce pain and inflammation and to lessen the appearance of scars as well as the formation of scars. Sadly, this treatment is typically not covered by insurance companies, even though there is abundant evidence as to its efficacy.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Pain Relief With LLLT<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A recent study looked at a low-level light therapy at the wavelength of 635 nanometers and its effects on pain. The group using the LLLT for 15 minutes per day twice a week had a 35% reduction in pain. This required no injections, no pills, and nothing addictive as a method of relief. In fact, there was a 49% reduction in pain reported which compares well to an overall 20% pain reduction with opioids.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There were no adverse events observed during this study, and the group treated was very satisfied with the results reached.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another great study measured serum (blood) levels of inflammatory components. Namely, the study observed TNF-alpha and IL-8. Both of these highly inflammatory substances were reduced in the blood after the use of low-level light therapy.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This type of therapy has also been shown to be effective for the treatment of shoulder pain, plantar fasciitis, and fibromyalgia, among other conditions.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>How Does It Work?<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Low-level light therapy uses a laser in a safe manner to treat pain and inflammation effectively and safely. At Warner Orthopedics and Wellness, we often use this modality in our practice as we prefer natural treatments of pain, such as photobiomodulation, as opposed to unnatural treatments such as steroids or narcotics.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For more information on low-level light therapy and the natural treatment of pain, contact us today at Warner Orthopedics and Wellness!<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\">Meredith Warner, MD<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-313666\" src=\"https:\/\/natalien12.sg-host.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/WOW_Meredith_Signature_Navy.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"164\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/natalien12.sg-host.com\/contact-us\/\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-218596 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/natalien12.sg-host.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/web-button-for-blog-2.jpg\" alt=\"Orthopedic Surgeon Baton rouge appointment\" width=\"850\" height=\"286\" srcset=\"https:\/\/warnerorthopedics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/web-button-for-blog-2.jpg 850w, https:\/\/warnerorthopedics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/web-button-for-blog-2-600x202.jpg 600w, https:\/\/warnerorthopedics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/web-button-for-blog-2-300x101.jpg 300w, https:\/\/warnerorthopedics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/web-button-for-blog-2-768x258.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 850px) 100vw, 850px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dr. Warner here \u2013 \u00a0 Low-level light therapy (LLLT) is a form of treatment that I often use in my practice.
