Light therapy relieves pain - stimulates the cells to recover and cure - reduces swelling and inflammation - stimulates the immune system - is effective for the treatment of chronic pain and inflammatory disorders.
Considered as one of the safest therapies that are currently available! With light therapy, red and infrared lights are sometimes also used blue or green on specific wavelengths and frequencies to speed up the body's healing process.
By using light therapy, the ATP production in the cells is considerably increased. ATP stands for adenosine trifosphate, a vital energy molecule that is active in the body in many chemical reactions. Due to the increased ATP, the circulation and oxygen uptake of the cell increases and in this way the healing process is promoted and accelerated.
Light therapy also ensures an increased blood supply to the area to be treated to ensure that waste is removed from the area faster. It also helps to reduce the sensitivity of neural paths and stimulate the body to release endorphins, which offers a natural and non-toxic form of pain lighting.
Light therapy is painless, by applying everyone and non-invasive and can therefore be applied without more damage to injuries. This also makes it an excellent choice for the treatment of chronic and acute pain.
The lights
Blue light Has a demonstrated antibacterial effect and has a good effect on treating wounds, skin infections, but also fungi and eczema, for example.
Due to the shorter wavelength of red light It is particularly effective in the treatment of infections and suitable for the treatment of problems closer to/below the skin surface, including cuts and scars, but also acupuncture and trigger points and structures that are closer under the skin.
The longer infra-redWaves penetrate deeper, making it a more effective choice for the treatment of problems in bones, joints, muscles, tendons or connective tissue. These are also the lights that you (almost) cannot see!
The wavelengths used as well as the energy that can be supplied are important in order to achieve such an optimal effect.
