Pain Management with Acupuncture and Red & Near IR Light Therapy
How Does Light Therapy for Pain Work?
In the same way that plants grow by getting their energy from the sun during photosynthesis, Infrared light therapy -- or “low-level light” therapy -- uses specific, proven wavelengths to stimulate a natural response in human tissue that can increase circulation, accelerate tissue repair, ease muscle pain, relieve joint stiffness, and enhance overall cell performance on a microscopic level. Infrared light therapy works by boosting cellular energy to encourage and enhance the body’s natural healing abilities.
When tissue is damaged, pain occurs. Human tissue can be compromised in a variety of ways; a sprained ankle, a surgical procedure that didn’t heal properly, or even an overly intense gym session can all cause bodily discomfort and emotional distress. Pain can be short-term or long-term, and because it presents itself differently in every person, it can be extremely difficult to treat.
Celluma’s unique ability to bend, flex, and contour close to the skin’s surface allows cells to absorb even more light energy to achieve maximum restorative potential. Celluma’s unique and superior device design offers pain-relieving therapeutic benefits equal to or better than more powerful and expensive devices, making all-natural pain management a very real possibility for all people who suffer from pain.
Clinical research has shown that red & near IR light therapy works in that way:
- increases blood circulation
- repairs and restores damaged soft connective tissue
- stimulates or decreases inflammation, which helps control our natural healing capabilities
- eases muscle and joint pain, stiffness, spasm and arthritis
- activates the lymphatic system, an important part of our immune system that helps carry waste out of the body
The Celluma, FDA cleared low - level light therapy applies the same wavelengths of light energy used by cold lasers to treat:
carpal tunnel syndrome, bursitis, tendonitis and myofacial pain, ankle sprain and knee injuries, and temporomandibular joint dysfunction, chronic back, shoulder and neck pain, arthritis, chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia, and post-herpetic neuralgia, as well as tissue repair in cases of diabetic ulcer, venous ulcer, mouth ulcer, fractures, tendon rupture, ligamentous, tear, torn cartilage, and nerve injury.
- Efficacy of low-level laser therapy in the management of neck pain: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomised placebo or active-treatment controlled trials.Chow RT1, Johnson MI, Lopes-Martins RA, Bjordal JM.
CONCLUSION: LLLT reduces pain immediately after treatment in acute neck pain and up to 22 weeks after completion of treatment in patients with chronic neck pain.
- The effectiveness of low-level laser therapy for nonspecific chronic low back pain (NSCLBP): a systematic review and meta-analysis
CONCLUSION: Our findings indicate that LLLT is an effective method for relieving pain in NSCLBP patients. However, there is still a lack of evidence supporting its effect on function.
- Review of Literature on Low-level Laser Therapy Benefits for Nonpharmacological Pain Control in Chronic Pain and Osteoarthritis
CONCLUSION:Based on current research, the utilization of LLLT for pain management and osteoarthritic conditions may be a complementary strategy used in clinical practice to provide symptom management for patients suffering from osteoarthritis and chronic pain.
Celluma red & near IR light therapy brings best results when combining it with
acupuncture, however it can be done on its own.

Enhance Muscle Gain, Strength, Endurance, and Recovery with Red and Near-Infrared Light Therapy
How does red and near-infrared light affect muscles and what is it actually doing to cause these benefits? 1. Red and near-infrared light help promote the production of internal antioxidants by your cells, which prevents oxidative stress and damage to the muscle tissue (when light is applied before exercise). CONCLUSION: LLLT reduced the inflammatory response induced by trauma and was able to block the effects of reactive oxygen species (ROS) release and the activation of NF-kappaB. The associated reduction of iNOS overexpression and collagen production suggest that the NF-kappaB pathway may be a signaling route involved in the pathogenesis of muscle trauma. 2. Red and near-infrared light help reduce inflammation that will lead to cellular damage (and fatigue) in the muscle tissue as well. CONCLUSION: A randomised, placebo controlled trial of low level laser therapy for activated Achilles tendinitis with microdialysis measurement of peritendinous prostaglandin E2 concentrations. 3. Red and near-infrared light decrease lactic acid production by muscles. 4. Red and near-infrared light improve mitochondrial function during exercise. |
