It has the important job of providing support and mobility for the head, but sometimes it can become painful. <strong>Chronic neck pain<\/strong> is a common affliction because the neck is a part of the body that\u2019s easy to strain or injure. And once injury occurs, chronic neck pain can last a lifetime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Neck pain may be sharp and located in one spot, or it might feel less intense but spread across a broader region. Sometimes the pain gets referred up to the head or accompanies a headache. Other times it can be accompanied by <strong>muscle spasms<\/strong> in the neck, upper back, or around the shoulder blade. Less commonly, shock-like pain or tingling may radiate down into the shoulder, arm, and\/or hand. Whatever the symptoms or cause, chronic neck pain can be relieved with light therapy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How will light therapy help treat chronic neck pain?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Photizo Pain Relief is CE approved for the treatment of chronic pain usually associated with an underlying condition. It helps to alleviate <strong>inflammation<\/strong> by <strong>increasing blood flow<\/strong> to the damaged tissues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Poor blood circulation<\/strong> can aggravate acute and chronic pain conditions. Light therapy helps to relieve pain by stimulating the <strong>formation of capillaries<\/strong> and <strong>increasing blood flow<\/strong> in the treated area. In turn, increased blood flow brings nutrients and oxygen to cells, and <strong>removes waste materials<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Collagen<\/strong> is the main component of the skin\u2014but that\u2019s not all. This fibrous protein is also present in all muscle and connective tissue throughout the body. If muscle or connective tissue is damaged, it needs collagen to form a latticework of cells that stitch the separated tissues together. Light therapy <strong>stimulates collagen production<\/strong>, thereby assisting in healing.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:50%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" src=\"http:\/\/www.photizo.net\/hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/28\/2023\/09\/YV4B0726-800x533-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3112\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.photizo.net\/hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/28\/2023\/09\/YV4B0726-800x533-1.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.photizo.net\/hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/28\/2023\/09\/YV4B0726-800x533-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.photizo.net\/hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/28\/2023\/09\/YV4B0726-800x533-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.photizo.net\/hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/28\/2023\/09\/YV4B0726-800x533-1-500x333.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"http:\/\/www.photizo.net\/hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/28\/2023\/06\/page-3-1024x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1190\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.photizo.net\/hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/28\/2023\/06\/page-3-1024x1024.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.photizo.net\/hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/28\/2023\/06\/page-3-300x300.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.photizo.net\/hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/28\/2023\/06\/page-3-150x150.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/www.photizo.net\/hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/28\/2023\/06\/page-3-768x768.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.photizo.net\/hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/28\/2023\/06\/page-3-500x500.jpeg 500w, https:\/\/www.photizo.net\/hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/28\/2023\/06\/page-3-100x100.jpeg 100w, https:\/\/www.photizo.net\/hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/28\/2023\/06\/page-3.jpeg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The neck\u2014or cervical spine\u2014is a coordinated network of nerves, bones, joints, and muscles.
