Red Light Therapy / Infrared Light Therapy / Cold Laser Therapy / Deep Tissue Therapy Laser
What Are They? What Do They Do?

Introduction to Red Light Therapy

Most of us have heard of red light therapy—it’s quite popular right now. You may have also heard of an infrared sauna, or even tried one. Perhaps you know someone with an infrared sauna or sleeping bag at home. You might even have an LED light or red light device that promotes healthy skin or reduces wrinkles. These are all common uses for red light therapy today.

Benefits of Red Light Therapy

Red light therapy has been around for many years and has proven to be highly effective. People with autoimmune disorders often turn to red light therapy because it helps reduce inflammation. It also promotes healing by speeding up the recovery process.

This therapy works well for conditions like sprains, strains, infections, and post-surgical healing. Red light therapy reduces inflammation in the injured area, making it less sensitive, reactive, and painful. Most people experience immediate pain relief and reduced inflammation after a session, and since it speeds up healing, the pain relief is longer-lasting.

Long-Term Pain Relief with Laser Therapy

Laser therapy is designed to reduce pain both immediately and over the long term. By reducing inflammation, it helps alleviate a variety of conditions. Red light therapy is particularly useful for healing infections (like shingles, cuts, and abrasions), as well as tendonitis, bursitis, stenosis, arthritis, and other joint issues.

Deep Tissue Laser Therapy for Stubborn Pain

Deep tissue therapy laser (also known as cold laser therapy) is especially effective for hard-to-treat pain conditions such as stenosis and arthritis. In the case of stenosis, red laser light reduces inflammation around the nerve roots where they exit the spine, allowing them to move more freely. Controlling inflammation is crucial to preventing these conditions from worsening and managing the associated pain.

Maintaining your range of motion is key to preventing conditions like stenosis and arthritis from progressing over time. In fact, if this treatment is done correctly, you could be as good—or even better—in 10 years compared to now, without needing more invasive pain management procedures.

Cellular Healing with Deep Tissue Laser

Deep tissue therapy laser works by healing muscles on a cellular level. It decreases cell membrane permeability, boosts mitochondrial activity, and increases energy production. The more energy a cell produces, the more active it becomes, leading to faster healing.

Combining Laser Therapy with Other Techniques

I find deep tissue therapy lasers particularly useful for stubborn pain, chronic injuries, and inflammation. When combined with Nimmo Trigger Point Therapy or Receptor Tone Technique, this approach can effectively treat persistent joint pain that is otherwise difficult to manage.
