Red Light Therapy on Joint Health

Red Light Therapy for Joint Health

As the body ages, bones and joints become stiffer and more prone to diseases. Osteoarthritis (OA) is a common type of joint disease that can occur with age. Symptoms can include pain, reduction in ranges of motion, stiffness, and/or swelling around a joint. Red light therapy has been found as a supplementary intervention to improve pains and overall joint health.⠀
⠀
Kholvadia et al. found that a combination of both red light therapy and exercise produced the most significant change in improving strength, endurance, range of motion, and pain levels surrounding the knee.
