RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS & INFRARED LIGHT THERAPY
Red light and near-infrared have been used in the clinical treatment of arthritis since the late 1980s. With over four decades of research, there has been enough scientific data collected to recommend it for the treatment of arthritis no matter the underlying cause or severity.
However, how does red light therapy work? Light therapy targets the cellular origins of arthritis. Cells absorb the wavelengths and turn that energy into chemical energy through Photobiomodulation. Red and near-infrared light increase the production of Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) which provides the cell with more energy to perform and repair damage more efficiently. Exposure to red light triggers and releases Nitric Oxide (NO) aka ‘miracle molecule’. Just 20 minutes of light therapy increases blood flow to nerves and other tissues offering you lasting relief.
