Mobile Light Therapy
Certified red light and near infrared light therapy is available as an add-on for the PEMF services offered by MearaPulse Therapies.
What is Light Therapy?
Red light therapy and near infrared light therapy, also known as photobiomodulation, are forms of phototherapy that use specific wavelengths of light to stimulate healing and cellular repair in the body.
The key difference between red and near infrared light is the depth they are capable of penetrating into tissues, with near infrared penetrating deepest at 2-3 inches max, depending on tissue type.
Both types of light therapy have been studied and proven to improve circulation, reduce pain and inflammation, stimulate collagen production, and improve cellular metabolism. They are commonly used to assist a variety of conditions, including musculoskeletal pain, arthritis, wound healing, and skin conditions.
Red light and near infrared light therapy does not produce any significant heat, making it safe and comfortable to use.
Benefits
Pain relief: reduce pain and inflammation, including pain associated with osteoarthritis and musculoskeletal injuries.
Improved wound healing: promote healing in both acute and chronic wounds; help to increase blood flow, reduce inflammation, and promote the growth of new tissue.
Enhanced muscle recovery: reduce muscle damage, soreness, and inflammation following exercise, leading to improved muscle recovery.
Reduced inflammation: reduce swelling and edema, especially after surgery or traumatic injuries. reduce inflammation in the body, which can help alleviate pain and promote healing.
Reduced joint pain: shown to be effective in reducing pain and inflammation in joints, particularly with osteoarthritis.
Improved skin health: improve skin texture, reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, and promote collagen production. improve skin health, reducing the appearance of scars and promoting hair growth.
Reduced anxiety and stress: Light therapy has been shown to have a calming effect on animals and may help to reduce anxiety and stress.
Improved mood and sleep: improve mood and cognitive function, as well as improve sleep quality
Improved brain function: Studies have found that light therapy can improve cognitive function, including memory and learning, and reduce cognitive decline in aging populations
How it Works
Red light therapy and near infrared light therapy work by stimulating the body’s natural healing processes at the cellular level. When the body is exposed to specific wavelengths of light, it triggers a response in the mitochondria (the energy centres of cells), which leads to a cascade of biochemical reactions that can help promote healing, reduce inflammation, and improve cellular function.
Here are some of the ways light therapy works to benefit health:
- Increased blood flow: Red light therapy has been shown to increase blood flow to the treated area, which can help deliver oxygen and nutrients to cells, promote tissue repair, and reduce inflammation.
- Increased collagen production: Red light therapy has been shown to stimulate the production of collagen, a protein that is essential for healthy skin, hair, and nails.
- Reduced inflammation: Red light therapy and near infrared light therapy have been shown to reduce inflammation by decreasing the production of inflammatory cytokines and increasing the production of anti-inflammatory cytokines.
- Enhanced cellular energy production: Red light therapy and near infrared light therapy have been shown to increase cellular energy production by stimulating the mitochondria, which can help improve cellular function and promote healing.
- Improved nerve function: Near infrared light therapy has been shown to improve nerve function and reduce pain by stimulating the production of nitric oxide, a molecule that helps relax blood vessels and improve blood flow.
Overall, the exact mechanisms of action for red light therapy and near infrared light therapy are still being studied, but they are thought to work by promoting cellular repair and improving overall cellular function in the body.
