Burning back pain laser therapy treatment

Usually, burning back pain arises from neuropathy, a term used to describe nerve injury or disease. A herniated disc and a degenerative change of vertebrae bodies or of joints may injure nerve roots by entrapping them. Shingles is a disease affecting nerves and the main symptom is burning pain. This type of burning pain may be at any level in the back and also follow the affected nerve pathway.

Laser therapy is normally very effective for treating burning pain. According to Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), burning back pain falls in the category of Heat Painful Obstruction Syndrome.

The lower back is strongly influenced by the Kidney, the Bladder and the Governor Channels. The Bladder, the Governor, the Small Intestine, The Triple Warmer, and the Gall Bladder Channels travel in the upper back and shoulder area.
