Introduction To Infrared Light Therapy For Back Pain Sufferers

Back Pain Solutions and sciatic pain relief have come a long way since the 1960’s when research began on light therapy for pain and muscle tissue relief.

Back then it was discovered that the light which penetrated into the skin could be single light either red, blue or green (with varying frequencies). Whatever the colour beneficial effects were noted in the body.

As tests progressed however, it was found that the red end of the light spectrum seemed to bring about more increased, frequent healing and muscle stimulation.

Studies later found that red light wavelengths (from 630 to 700 nm) penetrated into human tissue to a depth of 10 mm whereas infrared light (800 to 1000nm) penetrated to a depth of about 40mm.

This makes infrared light more effective at treating internal organs and tissues and for providing relief for internal muscle and nerve pain.

Therefore the infrared light wavelengths have been found to be the fastest ones to rejuvenate cells, stimulate healing and most importantly for the purposes of this article increase circulation  (in some studies this was found to be 4000 times faster than from other light sources).

It is thought that the infrared light frequency is absorbed better by cells in the human body because it resonates at the nearest frequency that human cells resonate at.

The Overall Benefits Of Infrared Light Therapy

Therefore, if cells are lacking in oxygen and nutrients from poor circulation in the spinal area which causes terrible cramps and pain, then infrared wavelengths can stimulate muscles and nerves to function again!

Benefits of infrared light or wavelength therapy include (this list isn’t exhaustive);

  • dilation and expansion of blood vessels-which helps to relieve muscles and nerves by bringing in more oxygen and carrying away waste products such as lactic acid
  • increased overall blood circulation
  • increased lymph drainage of toxins  
  • stimulation of healing compounds in cells
  • increased energy production in cells
  • lowering of blood pressure
  • toxin detoxification and elimination in body
  • optimization of kidney function
  • soothes whole regions of pain in the body by delivering heat to internal organs eg the pelvic region

Infrared Light Can Reach Far Down Into Tissues

Why This Therapy Helps

Therefore, infrared heat therapy from high quality sources is considered one of the best methods for whole body health which is a non invasive, non surgical and 100% natural.

As infrared light and heat increases circulation and elimination it is so useful for those suffering from tension myositis syndrome back pain.

Used just to relieve the acute pain or discomfort of this condition, the sufferer instead would be free to concentrate and focus instead on healing the emotional root issues that are the cause of pain.

Forms of infrared therapy for use in the home have come on in leaps and bounds in recent years.

There are lamps, massagers, mats, mattresses even powerful infrared saunas (the saunas are great for weight loss too if you had the money)!

Infrared heat goes deep into muscles, nerve tissue and cells and warms the skin, dilates blood vessels and increases circulation. This serves to ease pain as more oxygen is received by the cells and waste products are carried away more efficiently.

Some people with certain conditions are not recommended to have light therapy which include people suffering from skin allergies, eye problems and that are on some medications that can interact with the light. If you are in any doubt consult a doctor before using this type of therapy.

My doc started infrared light therapy on me today. I have fibro and chronic myofascial pain syndrome. My worst pain is in the pelvis. My doc in Kingston Ontario is having a special infrared light made to go up inside and into the pelvis to blast the light into that area. He tried a normal infrared gun on my back and it did relieve some pain but only for a few minutes. This is why he's having a cervical gun made to see if it will help patients like me who's pain was caused by child birth. He's tried the cortizone shots and they didn't work for me because i have too many areas of pain. But the infrared light may help.

I had severe back pain for the last four months, due to a car accident. I have been in therapy and on strong pain meds ever since. I began Red Light Therapy at a tanning salon to help get rid of wrinkles, and miraculously it COMPLETELY took away my pain after about 7 visits. I could not believe it! Now lets hope it helps the wrinkles too;)
