The majority of patients report no pain. A few report mild discomfort. With our laser treatment, pain is greatly reduced because the lasers themselves create some amount of analgesia in both soft and hard tissues. Lasers can deliver their energy faster than it takes to trigger a neural response so, in essence, the treatment is over before you can feel it. Laser therapy also eliminates the vibration and whine of the dental drill, another source of discomfort.

The laser procedure requires only local anesthetic and the patients do not feel any pain when the laser is working. Several days after the operation some tightness will be felt in the thigh. Advil or Ibuprofen is all that is needed for the discomfort.

Simply put, we don't really know but this is a very controversial area. There is clearly some discomfort. Many studies have been done to try to ascertain how much pain the baby feels.

The first priority is the care and well being of the baby. Stem cell extraction is very safe because the blood is collected after the cord has been separated from your baby. Neither you nor your baby will feel anything since this procedure is only done after the cord has been detached.

Due to 'brittle' bones osteoporosis patients often suffer from very painful micro-fractures in the vertebrae of the spine. Already after a few weeks of Curatron treatments a high level of pain relief is obtained, which is explained by closing of these micro-fractures.

Yes. More than half of the patients we treat have some component of leg and/or arm pain. Sometimes the pain is referred, sometimes radicular. Some have neurologic deficits. All variations have responded to the proper kind of exercise. There is often a perception that the presence of extremity pain is cause for alarm, a reason to immediately get an MRI scan or refer the patient to a surgeon.

There may be a host of reasons for painful intercourse. Pain on initial penetration is often due to infection, spasm of the vaginal muscles or inadequate lubrication.

Pain in only one particular position may simply mean that in that position, your partner is pushing against your cervix.

Sclerotherapy uses a small needle to inject a solution into diseased veins. Laser uses energy from concentrated light beams to destroy diseased veins.

After breast augmentation surgery the sensory nerves in the breast are stretched. The nerves react in a different way after this procedure. The nerve may be irritated or pinched.
