Recently leaders in our field were invited to address the US Congress on how PBM therapy assists in chronic pain conditions and can offer a solution to the growing opioid their (and our) country faces. Delighted to share this news:
NEW TECHNOLOGIES, TREATMENTS CAN END OPIOID USE
“On Oct. 11, Congress held its first ever briefing on ending opioid use through ‘innovative medical technologies for pain management.’
Photobiomodulation (PBM) was the featured technology.”
Very pleasing and welcome news for the PBMT community, patients at large and health budgets everywhere! Long overdue recognition for a safe, intelligent treatment that tackles the cause of chronic pain and resolves it. A giant leap for PBM clinicians and pain sufferers everywhere!
