Photonic stimulation, also referred to as infrared light therapy, has reduced patients’ pain, stimulated nerve function and circulation, and promoted tissue healing. The infrared light therapy instrument is a patented Food and Drug Administration-approved device that uses low-intensity infrared light to treat a diverse range of pathologies.
It has been found to beneficial for patients experiencing acute and chronic pain, soft tissue injury, and trigger points in nerve injury. It helps circulatory disorders by improving metabolism, circulation, and providing analgesic, ant-iinflammatory and anti-edematous effects as well as wound-healing benefits. Common treatable syndromes include arthritides, epicondylitis, headaches, disc problems, myofascial pain, neuralgia/neuritis, sciatica, restless leg syndrome, muscle spasm, trigger points, sprains/strains, swelling, Raynaud’s syndrome, Bell’s palsy, and postsurgical pain.
Light therapy can improve the function of neural pathways as well as stimulate the release of endorphins (natural pain killers). It can stimulate the autonomic nervous system, create a parasympathetic response, and reduce nerve-induced pain and muscle spasms. Light therapy has also been successful with musculoskeletal pain. In fact, light therapy may also relax tightened muscles so that the injured dysfunctional joint receives more fluid and more symmetrical movement.
Hope that answered your question.
Good luck and best wishes.
