Have You Considered Light Therapy for Pain Treatment?

Chronic pain and pain caused by injuries or inflammation are no joke, and the associated discomfort can lead to utmost frustration and depression, not to mention the debilitating effects it has. While ineffective treatments have left many individuals with the belief that they should simply adapt and get used to living with these conditions, this is certainly no way to live. There has to be a better way. The good news is that there is another solution. Light therapy is being used increasingly for pain treatment, and with great success. So, if you’re suffering from pain, this treatment is something you should definitely consider.

What is Light Therapy?

Considered one of the safest therapies available today, red and infrared light is used at specific wavelengths and frequencies to accelerate the body’s healing process. It does this by allowing increased blood flow to the area being targeted, as well as by reducing the sensitivity of neural pathways and stimulating the body to release endorphins, providing a natural and non-toxic form of pain relief.

Light therapy is non-invasive, painless and can be used frequently without causing more damage to injuries. This makes it an excellent choice for chronic pain treatment.

What Is This Type of Treatment Best Used For?

Typically, the shorter wavelength of red light makes it particularly effective in treating infections, and suitable for treating issues close to the surface of the skin, including cuts and wounds, scars, and acupuncture and trigger points.

The longer infrared waves penetrate deeper, making it a more effective choice for the treating of issues found in the bone, joints, bursa, or deep muscles.

Some of the conditions for which light therapy provides effective pain treatment include:

• The painful, inflammatory conditions that are often associated with arthritis
• Effects associated with nerve damage
• Chronic muscle spasms
• The inflammation and muscle spasms that are associated with fibromyalgia
• The discomfort and inflammation that accompanies calcaneal spur or flat feet
• Damage to cartilage
• Pain in the temporomandibular joint (jaw)
