BENEFITS OF RED LIGHT THERAPY (4 of 6)

BLOG POST 4 OF 6 - INFLAMMATION

Many of today’s modern diseases (cardiovascular disease, obesity, diabetes and cancer to name but a few), are all associated with excessive inflammation levels. *

Red light therapy is amazingly powerful in reducing inflammation levels in the body, without the side-effects associated with anti inflammatory drugs.** In addition to reducing the inflammation, consistent red light therapy treatments will reduce the discomfort associated with the inflammation.**, ***

Taking rheumatoid arthritis as an example; this is an autoimmune condition that affects how the joints function. Red light therapy has been proven to reduce morning stiffness, aches & pains, and ease movement and movability in the joints. High inflammation levels are also lowered. ****

Looking at the case of osteoarthritis; the bones are pretty much in direct contact with each other as the cartilage has been worn away. Stiffness & pain ensues when the cushioning is eroded. Red light therapy assists by reducing the inflammation, swelling and pain and freeing up movement in the joints. Joints will rise in temperature, reflecting the metabolic and circulatory effects of the red light therapy.
