I do phototherapy twice a week at physical therapy. I had ADR in 2004 and about 9 months after the surgery I started to develop facet joint pain. Now its so bad that I have to have the Charite disc removed and have my spine fused. Having phototherapy twice a week helps but it isnt a cure all like the person above me said.. It takes the edge off.
Accupuncture works too.
