Laser Therapy

Low-level laser therapy (LLLT) is widely utilized for treating several musculoskeletal conditions which also includes fibromyalgia. The low-level laser therapy offers anti-inflammatory effects and relieves pain which is felt in this mysterious disease. The wide-spread burning pain is relieved with few sessions of laser therapy. It helps in improving sleep, stiffness, skin tenderness, fatigue, muscular spasms, and others. 

This cold laser therapy launched by BioFlex is a non-pharmacological treatment option that aids in relieving this neuropathic pain. It is a cost-effective and safe process that poses no severe adverse effects over the body. 

LLLT acts over the peripheral neural stimulation where it aids in the regulation of microcirculation, promotes analgesic and interrupts the pain mechanism. The use of LLLT promotes vascularization, increases the number of fibroblasts within the body, leads to epithelization and promotes the formation of collagen fibers. LLLT has bio-stimulatory effects where it promotes the formation of new cells along with the generation of new connective tissues.

In addition to pain control, the use of LLLT helped in promoting muscle activity along with a reduction in fibromyalgia fatigue. Different studies suggest the use of LLLT where it helps in enhancing the quality of life, allowing the patients to actively perform their routine activities.
