Red/Infrared Therapy

img

Research shows that light-emitting diodes (LEDs) like those found in the Horizon II Infrared and Red Light Therapy Unit, stimulate the basic energy processes in the cell mitochondria. Cells absorb light photons and transform their energy into adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the form of energy that cells utilize. ATP then powers metabolic processes and synthesizes DNA, RNA, proteins, enzymes, and other products needed to repair and regenerate cells and their components. The healing process also involves increasing blood circulation, reducing inflammation, and creating more structurally sound collagen fibers.

Light therapy, also known as photobiomodulation therapy, facilitates the healing process in conditions such as:

  • Muscle and joint inflammation
  • Arthritis
  • Nerve inflammation such as sciatica
  • Neuropathy
  • Nerve entrapment such as Carpal Tunnel syndrome
  • Headaches
  • Concussion/traumatic brain injury
  • Skin conditions such as acne, psoriasis, scar tissue, open wounds
The Horizon II LED Infrared and Red Light Therapy unit is equipped with 800mW of infrared (880nm) and red (660nm) light, known to be the ideal spectrum for optimum healing.
