We explain below why we should be at the top of your list, but let’s first look at why red light is a great option for helping with back pain.
How Red Light Therapy Helps Your Body
Before getting into how red light therapy helps you with back pain, it’s necessary to know how red light therapy works and what it’s for.
In short, red light contains certain wavelengths that stimulate your cell’s mitochondria, inspiring them to work better. This means they’ll also work faster at everything they’re naturally meant to do, which includes repairing themselves, transporting oxygen and nutrients, etc.
How Red Light Therapy Helps With Back Pain
There are many reasons for back pain, but we’ll touch on just a few of these, along with how red light helps with each.
Firstly, one main cause of pain in your back is overusing it or simply using it wrong, which results in overtaxed or pulled muscles. Your body will usually be able to heal itself with time and rest, but this takes quite a while and comes with more than a little pain.
Secondly, another cause of back pain is trauma – i.e., you get in a car accident, have a fall, or something along those lines. This causes damage to or along your spine, with this sort of damage being different and more severe than the slight damage you can do when working out.
Thirdly, many medical conditions affect the spine and back, either directly or indirectly, and cause pain.
In all these areas, by promoting healing, red light helps your body repair whatever is causing it pain. This both reduces the pain and ensures you recover faster.
