Have you ever had a cut that bled for years? Of course not. That would be crazy. It’s crazy because healing doesn’t take nearly that long. So why is it that when you have pain for years and go to an office for help, they do treatments like laser therapy to "increase the healing"?
The Reality of Healing
When you get a cut, it heals within a few days to weeks. Your body’s natural healing process is efficient and effective. But what about chronic pain that persists for years? The reality is, the initial injury has likely healed a long time ago. So why does the pain continue?
Misunderstanding Chronic Pain
Chronic pain often isn’t about an unhealed injury. It’s about how your body and brain continue to react long after the physical damage has been repaired. Treatments that focus solely on "healing" the original injury, like laser therapy, might not address the actual source of your ongoing pain.
Why Traditional Treatments Fail
The Injury Is Healed: Your body’s tissues usually heal within a few weeks to months. If you’re still in pain years later, it’s not because the tissue hasn’t healed; it’s because of other factors like nerve sensitivity, muscle imbalances, or even psychological factors.
Symptom-Focused Approaches: Treatments like laser therapy might provide temporary relief by addressing symptoms, but they don’t get to the root cause of chronic pain. Without targeting the underlying issues, the pain remains.
Lack of Comprehensive Care: Many traditional treatment plans don’t take a holistic approach. They might focus on one aspect of pain management without considering how different factors interact and contribute to your pain.
