What is Red Light Therapy?

Red light therapy (RLT) uses low-level red light wavelengths to help improve various health conditions. It is also known as photobiomodulation (PBM) or low-level light therapy (LLLT). RLT was first discovered by NASA in the 1980s when they were looking for ways to help plants grow in space.

They found that red light wavelengths helped stimulate plant growth and also had potential benefits for human health. Since then, RLT has been studied extensively and has been found to have various therapeutic benefits. As a wellness treatment, RLT works by penetrating the skin and stimulating the mitochondria in our cells.

Mitochondria are responsible for producing energy in our cells, and RLT helps to increase their activity, which can help to improve cellular function. RLT also helps to increase blood flow and reduce inflammation, which can help to improve various health conditions.

Red Light Therapy for Pain Relief

At some point in our lives, we all experience pain. Pain can be debilitating and affect our quality of life, whether from an injury, chronic condition, or everyday wear and tear. Fortunately, red light therapy has emerged as a promising treatment option for pain relief.

Red Light Therapy for Arthritis

Arthritis is a common condition that causes joint pain, stiffness, and inflammation. In a study published in the Journal of Photochemistry and Photobiology, red light therapy significantly reduced pain and improved joint function in knee osteoarthritis patients.

Red Light Therapy for Fibromyalgia

Fibromyalgia is a chronic condition that causes widespread pain, fatigue, and other challenging symptoms. In a study published in the Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine, red light therapy significantly reduced pain and improved sleep quality in fibromyalgia patients.

Red Light Therapy for Muscle Pain and Inflammation

Various factors, including injury, overuse, and chronic conditions, can cause muscle pain and inflammation. Red light therapy in Clearwater has been shown to reduce muscle pain and inflammation by increasing blood flow and promoting collagen production. In a study published in the Journal of Clinical and Aesthetic Dermatology, red light therapy significantly reduced pain and improved range of motion in patients with chronic neck pain.

Safety Precautions for Red Light Therapy

While red light therapy is generally considered safe for most patients, there are a few precautions to take:

If you have sensitive skin, we’ll start with shorter sessions and gradually increase the time to avoid skin irritation
If you are pregnant, consult with your doctor before pursuing red light therapy
As some medications can make the skin more sensitive to light, if you are taking any medications, let us know before undergoing treatment

What Should I Expect During Red Light Therapy?

The procedure typically involves using a device that emits red light at a specific wavelength, which is absorbed by the skin cells. During a red light therapy session, you’ll sit or lies down while the device is placed near the target area. The treatment usually lasts between 10 and 30 minutes, depending on the condition.
