Side effects of painkillers are notoriously unpleasant – ranging the gamut from drowsiness to risk of addiction. Many of us search for drug-free solutions to pain that don’t negative impact our day-to-day life. And some, for example Air Force pilots, don’t have the option to use drugs to manage pain at all.
For those who seek to avoid drugs as a solution for pain management Class IV Laser Therapy can be a great answer. Lasers for pain are becoming more and more mainstream as they become more prevalent in professional and collegiate sports. Therapy lasers reduce pain associated with inflammation and swelling. Other tips to reduce the need for prescription drugs:
• Stretch thoroughly before and after exercise.
• Wear shoes with good support – this small step can make a big difference in low back pain.
• Adopt better sitting and standing posture, poor posture is a major contributor of back pain.
• Take a break – if you are in pain don’t muscle through it, reduce the intensity of your activity and give your body the opportunity to recover.
• Take a Yoga class, increasing your flexibility can help increase mobility.
