Laser Treatment for Gout - Advanced Pain Relief Solutions
It is an intensely painful disease caused by an increased concentration of uric acid in the blood. Low-intensity laser therapy has been clinically proven to shorten the duration of the first flare-up as well as relieve the pain associated with gout
You get one or more red, tender and swollen joints. They cause very severe pain.
Waste product Uric acid is the end product of the breakdown of nucleic acids, which are the main component of DNA.
In primary gout, one has either increased production or reduced excretion of uric acid. If you eat a lot of food containing nucleic acids, this in itself could lead to increased production, and more seizures.
The onset of gout is usually limited to nocturnal pain in a single joint, although it may be associated with multiple joints. The pain gradually becomes more severe and can be unbearable at times. The symptoms often mimic acute infection with swelling, elevated temperature and redness. The soft tissue overlying the joint is usually extremely tender, and in some cases even the presence of blankets touching the skin can be irritating. The overlying skin is tense, warm, shiny, and red or purple in color. Fever, increased heart rate, chills and feeling unwell may also be present.
Low Intensity Laser Therapy (LILT) used properly can significantly reduce the pain and swelling associated with acute gout flare-ups, eliminating the need for drugs. LILT works quickly to reduce the inflammation around the joint capsule in addition to relieving the disabling pain.
Avoiding purine-rich foods such as meat, fish, dry beans, mushrooms, alcohol, as well as consuming purine-neutralizing foods (ie, fresh fruits and vegetables) can help reduce gout triggers. In addition to dietary changes, increasing the volume of fluids consumed, especially water, helps the body’s ability to remove toxins that can cause or worsen gout.
