light therapy can help relieve painWe all have pain at some point in our lives and it can rear its ugly head anywhere throughout the body.  Joint aches, sprains, back pain, arthritis, muscle pain, and inflammation are just a few of the debilitating and frustrating conditions that can keep you from enjoying life to the fullest.  Chronic pain can limit your activities and prohibit you from completing your normal day to day schedule of events.

There is a drug-free option that may offer tremendous relief and allow you to be able to function normally once again.  Light therapy for pain relief is a gentle, non-invasive, drug-free, and chemical-free alternative that has been shown to reduce and in some cases even eliminate aches and pains.  Red and infrared LED (light emitting diodes) lights deliver powerful therapeutic benefits to living tissue.  There is evidence that they speed up the healing process, reduce inflammation, and ease pain.

 One particular LED red light therapy device, the DPL Therapy System, incorporates both red and infrared technology into one unit to treat an immense number of problems.  Visible red light wavelengths at 660 nanometers are beneficial for treating surface conditions such as wounds, cuts, scars, and infection.  While infrared wavelengths at 880 nanometers effectively treat bones, joints, and deep muscle problems.  The combination of the two types of LED lights makes it possible to care for a vast array of issues.  LED light therapy uses a form of energy called “photons” to penetrate deep into the affected area repairing any damage making it all the more effective at relieving your pain problems.

Light therapy has been shown to accelerate healing for the following conditions:

  • Back pain
  • Wrist pain
  • Inflammation
  • Spasms and knots
  • Nerve injuries
  • Increases circulation
  • Leg pain
  • Bone spurs
  • Bone chips and fractures
  • TMJ
  • Neuropathy
  • Carpal tunnel syndrome
  • Shoulder pain
  • Tight muscles
  • Arthritis
  • Tennis elbow
  • Fibromyalgia
  • Swelling
  • Bruises
  • Ankle problems
  • Neck pain and stiffness
  • Strain and stress

The DPL System has the ability to activate the production of endorphins and blocks pain-transmitting neurons to offer an analgesic affect.  In fact, light therapy is so effective at reducing pain and inflammation that an increasing number of health-care providers are now incorporating light therapy into their treatment plans.

Red and infrared light therapy offers help to those suffering with joint and muscle pain.  It’s a simple technology to use with no downtime, pain, drugs, or side effects.  It’s a technology that gently relieves your pain and makes life all the more enjoyable.
