Overview of Infrared Therapy for Chronic Low Back Pain: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Introduction Infrared (IR) therapy has gained attention for its potential to alleviate chronic low back pain. A study published in Pain Research & Management aimed to assess the efficacy of IR therapy in providing pain relief for patients suffering from chronic, intractable low back pain. Study Objective The primary objective of the study was to evaluate the degree of pain relief achieved by applying infrared energy to the low back in patients with[...]
Red light therapy (RLT) Shows Significant Potential in Treating Spinal Cord Injuries
In a groundbreaking study from the University of Birmingham, researchers have pioneered a novel approach to treat spinal cord injuries (SCI) using red and near-infrared light therapy. This innovative method, known as photobiomodulation (PBM), has shown remarkable potential in promoting nerve repair and regeneration directly at the injury site. The Science of Photobiomodulation Photobiomodulation utilizes specific wavelengths of light to penetrate tissue and stimulate cellular repair processes. The therapy primarily targets mitochondria within[...]
