Anyone tried using red light therapy?

Posted by domokane @domokane, Jul 29, 2023

There seems to be some evidence that photobiomodulation - heating the skin via infra red light - has some benefits for stimulating nerve re growth. There are lots of devices available on Amazon as well as lots of seemingly expensive treatments provided by chiropractors.

I would be interested to know of any personal experience with such devices and any possible recommendations.

I'll just throw in my 2c here, I've been struggling with backpain for the last 8 years and constantly using pain meds and warm therapy to ease the pain. I decided to try red light therapy and its been great, but do get ones that have a near infrared component as it goes deeper into the skin.

I decided to purchase a panel and its been working wonders for me

No insurance covers RLT. The only FDA APPROVED RLT is from https://platinumtherapylights.com

I recently bought a unit on amazon, today was the 3rd day that I used it. I did not notice any improvement with my leg pain so far.
