How Does Work Red Light Therapy for Neck Pain?

When red light is absorbed by the skin and underlying tissues, it triggers several physiological responses that can help alleviate neck pain:

Increased Cellular Energy: RLT boosts the production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) in cells. This increase in energy can accelerate healing and tissue repair, which is beneficial for addressing muscle strain or injuries in the neck.

Reduced Inflammation: Red light therapy has anti-inflammatory properties that can help alleviate swelling and discomfort. By reducing inflammation in the neck area, RLT can provide significant pain relief.

Improved Blood Circulation: RLT promotes vasodilation, which enhances blood flow to the affected area. Improved circulation helps deliver oxygen and nutrients to the tissues, facilitating recovery and reducing stiffness.

Collagen Production: For those with chronic neck pain or stiffness, RLT can stimulate collagen synthesis, improving the elasticity and strength of connective tissues. This can be particularly helpful for conditions like arthritis or tendinitis.
