Back Pain
Understanding Back Pain
Back pain is a common ailment that affects a large portion of the population at some point in their lives. It can manifest as a dull ache, sharp pain, or even a burning sensation. Causes can range from basic muscle strain to more serious conditions such as herniated discs, osteoarthritis, or spinal stenosis.
Causes of Back Pain
The causes of back pain are numerous and often complex. They can include physical factors such as poor posture, lifting heavy objects improperly, or being overweight. We use the PBM to decrease the inflammation and irritation within the back that is often the source of the person's discomfort.
"The treatment that Dr. Sheen did on my back was a life changer for me! The pain that I was experiencing on a daily basis is gone! Before, I could not ride in a car longer than 30 minutes without the pain starting in and on long trips I had to constantly be adjusting my seat, cushions and positions. I can sleep through the night without waking up in extreme pain and I can now sleep on my left side where I could not before. The only drawback or side effect I have is that I cannot completely bend my left leg without leg pain. Which is fine, I just avoid bending it very far or doing yoga/ The right upper arm pain that he treated is better but I still am not able to lift a weight straight over my head without feeling discomfort. Which that is ok too, I am very grateful for his willingness to try it out on my issues and I talk about it to anyone that is interested."

Treatment Options at Sheen Vein & Cosmetics
At Sheen Vein & Cosmetics, we offer a range of treatment options for back pain, done by using Photobiomodulation. PBM uses light therapy to activate the body's own healing mechanisms which in turn help to accelerate the healing process while also decreasing the inflammation associated with the injured tissue. This in itself decreases the discomfort many people experience with the injury.
Preventative Measures
Prevention is always better than cure. Regular exercise, maintaining a healthy weight, and practicing good posture can significantly reduce the likelihood of developing back pain. Sheen Vein & Cosmetics also offers guidance on lifestyle modifications that can help prevent back pain, as part of a holistic approach to patient wellness.
