LED Therapy for Pain Research
Pain is a common experience and can manifest in various body regions. When felt, it usually signals that the body needs to alter its behavior to heal from something negative that occurred. If the region doesn’t react appropriately to these changes, the pain persists; meanwhile, when they do take effect and disappear naturally as part of the healing process, one may no longer experience it at all.
LED Therapy is a safe, noninvasive treatment that uses red, infrared and blue light to promote circulation and improve tissue oxygenation. It offers an alternative to medications which often have side effects or lead to addiction.
At InLight Medical, we offer a revolutionary array of LED light therapy systems designed to maximize the body’s potential for health and wellness. Unlike many other solutions you may have tried, InLight Medical systems don’t just treat symptoms; they promote healthy immunity and encourage an overall balanced lifestyle.
When selecting an LED system for your practice, it’s essential to find one that delivers the correct wavelengths; has the appropriate milliwatt output; and is energy dense enough to maximize absorption by tissue (skin). Look for medical-grade systems with a 510K classification number as well as a warranty and repair center.
A quality LED system should have a long lifespan, be highly efficient and produce minimal heat production. Furthermore, it must have the correct power density to match its wavelengths, as well as be constructed out of quality materials for durability and safety.
LEDs come in a range of colors, such as red, infrared and blue. Emitting low-level light energy that absorbs into the body and helps heal symptoms such as arthritis, back pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, muscle strains and more by providing healing energy to cells.
Studies have demonstrated the most efficient LEDs are those in the red and near-infrared spectrums, which penetrate deeply into skin and tissues to promote healing. This is because LEDs activate cells’ mitochondria and release nitric oxide (NO), leading to vasodilation which increases circulation in an area. This boost in circulation may explain why you experience pain relief and inflammation reduction after exposure.
LEDs are also effective at stimulating the body’s production of ATP, which acts as a signal for cells to produce more energy and repair tissue. Furthermore, it promotes cell proliferation – an essential factor in optimizing healing capacity – further increasing their healing power.
LED therapy is growing in popularity as a viable alternative to pharmaceutical medications for treating chronic pain, wounds and skin issues. Its success can be attributed to its ability to increase nitric oxide and ATP levels – both of which have been demonstrated to reduce pain, reduce inflammation and boost tissue oxygenation.
