Red Light Therapy An Advanced Alternative For Pain Relief and Repair

Light therapy in various forms has been existing since eternity. Truth be told, the ancient Greek doctor, Hippocrates, was famous for counseling patients on the benefits of light and recommended that they expose themselves to sunlight so as to treat several health conditions. In more recent times NASA, while taking up plant growth experiments in outer space, reported that red and infrared LEDs (light emitting diodes) can heal injuries a real fast pace. Following those discoveries, light has been tapped and researched fervently revealing endless benefits and therapeutic uses. Fast forward to today and you will see red light therapy for Athletes in chiropractor facility, spas, clinics, salons, and in the home.

How Red Light Therapy Work?

Light emitting diodes (LEDs) generate wavelengths that are measured in nanometers. If the nanometer count is high, the wavelength will automatically be high, resulting in the light penetrating deeper into the body. Specific nanometer ranges were researched and was found to penetrate into skin, tissue, joints, and bones where the light then gets absorbed at a cellular level. Once absorbed, the healing wavelengths stimulate more than 24 positive reactions, like:

§ Improving circulation § Improving collagen and elastin synthesis § Sparking cellular energy (ATP) § Stimulating healing and repair processes to engage § Improving the production of endorphins § Blocking pain transmitting neurons

Once these reactions start to occur within the cells and tissues, changes follow inside body.

§ Benefits to the body are as follows: § Pain relief § Faster healing of injuries § Mitigation of inflammation and swelling § Improved range of motion § Improved circulation § Blocking pain transmitting neurons § Improved production of endorphins

Which wavelengths does best to rejuvenate the skin and which wavelengths are highly effective for pain relief?

Yellow LEDs at 590+ nanometers, red LEDs at 625-660 nanometers, and infrared LEDs at 830+ nanometers do best to penetrate into every single layer of the skin.Once inside they start the process to heal and repair past damage. When the target is pain relief - red LEDs at 660+ nanometers and infrared LEDs at 880+ nanometers easily pass deep up to 2 inches in skin, tissue, joints, and bones relieving pain and speeding healing.
