Low Level Light Therapy (LLLT) for Pain and Inflammation

Low Level Light Therapy (LLLT) for Pain and Inflammation

What is Light Therapy?

Low Level Light Therapy (LLLT) is the application of light energy to tissue to obtain therapeutic benefits. The energy is used to improve cellular performance. LLLT is known for its healing and anti-inflammatory properties and has a variety of applications across many medical fields. Research has shown that LLLT can: increase circulation, accelerate tissue repair, decrease inflammation, ease muscle and joint pain, stiffness, spasm and arthritis and much more.

How Does Light Energy work for Pain and Inflammation? 

Specific wavelengths of light energy, when properly absorbed, up-regulates compromised cells and:

• Reduces Inflammation – By promoting the production of anti-inflammatory cytokines, inflammation is reduced.
• Aids in Blood Flow – This process promotes the release of nitric oxide, which helps to increase blood flow, nutrient delivery and cellular health to the muscles and joints.
• Increases Collagen Production – Collagen is an essential nutrient that contributes to the strength and integrity of the ligaments.  Scar tissue and adhesions are reduced. 
• Stimulates Cellular Activity – The light (photon) energy is absorbed by photo acceptors in the mitochondria and used to create adenosine triphosphate (ATP). The ATP produced then stimulates various metabolic processes which can result in the repair and regeneration of cell and tissue.

What is Celluma? 

Celluma is a low-level light therapy (LLLT) device that is FDA cleared and based on NASA research, Celluma delivers blue, red and near-infrared light energy simultaneously to safely treat a wide variety of conditions. Each wavelength is absorbed by different molecules that act as a signaling mechanism for different cellular processes. For example, some reduce inflammation, some kill bacteria, and others enhance localized circulation.
