Pain
Q.Light® Pain Care
Q.Light® Pain Care is used for the treatment of acute and chronic pain in medical practices, clinics, specialised treatment centres, nursing homes/services and for self-treatment at home.
It is not just another infra-red treatment device but combines the therapeutic effect of polarised visible red light with near infra-red, which provides warmth and dilates the blood vessels to increase the supply of oxygen to the tissues.
It is not just another infra-red treatment device but combines the therapeutic effect of polarised visible red light with near infra-red, which provides warmth and dilates the blood vessels to increase the supply of oxygen to the tissues.
Clinical recognition of phototherapy is now widespread and scientific studies have shown significantly increased microcirculation of blood in the areas treated. Biostimulation by light energises tissue cells directly, enabling them to function and reproduce more efficiently and light has a similar effect on blood cells.
After just a short treatment time this triggers a similar beneficial effect in the whole circulating blood stream (photomodulation), which carries the benefits of light therapy throughout the body within 90 minutes.
Specific effects include improvement of rheologic transport and transport functions, optimised oxygen transport to cells, increased functional activity of monocytes, granulocytes and lymphocytes, induced lipid peroxidation in plasma and an increase of anti-inflammatory cytokines.
These changes can still be observed at declining levels for up to 24 hours after treatment.
Natural healing is accelerated, the immune system is boosted and pain and inflammation are alleviated.
Applications
The treatment regime
The main applications for Q.Light® Pain Care are:
Backaches
Cosmetic professionals have also used Q.Light® Pain Care before application of semi-permanent make up, epilation and other procedures to reduce pain and discomfort.
Rheumatologic diseases, including arthritis
Chronic pain
Q.Light® Pain Care is an ideal complement to a variety of pain management programmes and it can benefit the patient's general condition as well as pain symptoms. The light beam is directed at a right angle to the area to be treated and typical treatment times at maximum treatment diameter 25cm (10 inches) are 15-25 min, though smaller areas can be treated more quickly.
For joint treatment times can be extended without danger. No side effects or contra-indications have been reported and you cannot over-dose. Excess treatment time is ineffective but not harmful. Q.Light® Pain Care does not replace professional healthcare but regular therapy at home between consultations produces highly beneficial results.
Treatment should be given twice daily but it is safe to use Q.Light® Pain Care more frequently and for severe cases sometimes three to four times per day may be beneficial. This is more effective than treating for longer periods.
Important note on chronic pain
Pain is a complex area and is highly subjective. Perceived pain may arise from a wide variety of sources, both physical and psychological and in cases of chronic pain the two can frequently become interrelated.
Whilst chronic pain is one of the indications given by the manufacturer for Q.Light® Pain Care these problems are usually deep seated and no one treatment will work in all cases. Whilst effective for some people and some types of pain there can be no guarantee that it will help in any particular case. Since the treatment is entirely natural and drug-free however, Q.Light® Pain Care can usually be used as an extra therapy alongside existing treatments.
