No, DT3L is not a temporary fix the cause of the pain. This is why proper assessment is necessary by the doctor before we recommend DT3L for you. It does not fix all chronic pains, it all depends on the cause. You will need to follow precautions in order to avoid re-injury or the pain may return. DT3L does not only help injured tissues; wounds heal faster, it also makes tissues stronger and less vulnerable to re-injury. Just like you can fracture your healed bones, you can have the pain again if you injure yourself.
