How Light Helps Heal Your Body

Light plays a crucial role in human existence. Similar to how plant cells require light for photosynthesis, human cells absorb specific wavelengths of light, which stimulates them to produce more energy.

Light therapy is not a modern concept. It has long been utilized to treat various medical conditions. Before the advent of pharmaceuticals, illnesses such as psoriasis, acne, seasonal affective disorder, and even tuberculosis were treated using sunlight. Many arthritis sufferers report a decrease in pain on sunny days or during vacations in bright locales.

When we experience inflammation due to an injury, energy production within the affected cells slows down, which disrupts their normal function. This diminished energy production limits the cell's ability to withstand additional stress. If cellular stress surpasses energy production levels, cell death occurs, further instigating and perpetuating inflammation. In addition, blood flow in these areas becomes obstructed, restricting the delivery of essential nutrients needed for healing.

Injuries may persist or evolve into chronic conditions if tissues remain trapped in a cycle of cellular death and inflammation, causing ongoing pain, muscle guarding, and limited functionality. However, when tissues are exposed to the correct dose and wavelength of light, cellular energy production can be rejuvenated, thereby enhancing the cells' healing capacity. The ultimate effect is the restoration of normal functions within the affected area, alleviating pain, and improving range of motion without the need for medications or surgery.

Cold laser therapy is a groundbreaking solution for musculoskeletal pain, as it sends concentrated healing light wavelengths directly to the target tissues. This technology allows for the treatment of tissues—including bones, ligaments, muscles, nerves, and cartilage—that would typically remain unexposed to light. By administering specific, therapeutic wavelengths, the overall power remains low enough to avoid burning or damaging the skin and surrounding tissues.
