September is Pain Awareness Month. According to the CDC, in 2021 an estimated 20.9% of U.S. adults (51.6 million persons) experienced chronic pain, and 6.9% (17.1 million persons) experienced high-impact chronic pain. Over-the-counter pain medications are often considered the first line of defense in overriding or muting pain signals from completing their journey to the brain. But even common medications like aspirin have side effects, with some medications posing more risk to organs such as the liver and kidneys.
Low level laser therapy, also known as photobiomodulation, can offer physicians and patients a cost-effective, drug-free way to manage pain. In this webinar, Dr. Christopher Carraway and special guest Dr. David Kulla will discuss the benefits of super pulsed laser therapy for acute and chronic pain patients. Additionally, they will explore real-world cases and protocols for achieving the best patient outcomes in conjunction with other therapies.
