LED light therapy is really a way to help the body heal itself. The
lights have specific wavelengths that are absorbed by a photo
acceptor, cytochrome c oxidase within the mitochondria of the cell.
The energy (photons) from the lights increases the energy within
the cell and that speeds up the healing process.
The lights must be specific wavelengths and must be delivered at a
specific dosage.
Phototherapy pad combines red+infrared+yellow+blue light,
which is multicolor pain relief system, applied to any area of
body.
The visible red is effective for stimulating acupuncture points,
releasing trigger points, treating wounds and infections.
The infrared wavelength (not visible), which penetrates deeper, has
been shown to be effective in helping heal soft tissue
injuries,joints and muscles.
