Red Light for Pain
Red Light Therapy for Pain Management
Much of the body’s pain and discomfort stems from inflammation. ContourLight® red light therapy uses 635nm and 880nm wavelengths to reduce inflammation, support immune balance, and improve blood and lymphatic circulation.
RED LIGHT BENEFITS
This therapy is commonly utilized for conditions such as arthritis, tendonitis, neuropathic pain, sports-related injuries, and post-operative recovery.
It offers an evidence-based, drug-free option that supports both acute and chronic pain management protocols.
CLINICAL BENEFITS
Anti-inflamatory effects
Reduces pro-inflammatory cytokines and oxidative stress, decreasing swelling, stiffness, and pain.
Enhanced circulation
Promotes vasodilation and improved oxygenation, supporting nutrient delivery and waste removal in affected tissues.
Accelerated tissue repair
Reduces pro-inflammatory cytokines and oxidative stress, decreasing swelling, stiffness, and pain.
Pain relief in muscles and joints
Common areas of improvement include the back, neck, knees, shoulders, and hips.
Analgesic effect
Provides non-pharmacological pain relief by modulating nerve sensitivity and reducing muscle tension.
Improved mobility and function
Patients often experience increased range of motion and reduced functional limitations in joints and soft tissues.

No injections, no medication, and no downtime. Treatments are comfortable, quick, and safe for repeated use.
PUBLISHED STUDIES
Anti-Inflammation
This study shows that red and near-infrared light can reduce inflammation by calming overactive immune responses. It helps tissues heal faster and lowers pain from chronic conditions like arthritis.
Cell Repair
Researchers explain how red light therapy works inside the cells by boosting energy production. This improves blood flow, reduces pain, and speeds up tissue repair.
Joint Pain
A review of many studies found that red light therapy consistently reduced joint pain, especially in arthritis, when the right settings were used. It supports red light as a safe, effective pain relief option.
Arthritis Relief
In patients with knee arthritis, red light therapy significantly reduced pain and stiffness. It also improved joint function and mobility compared to those who did not receive treatment.
Brain Health
Research shows red and near-infrared light may aid recovery after brain injury and stroke by improving circulation, reducing inflammation, and protecting brain cells. Studies also suggest benefits for memory, mood, sleep, and overall brain function, with ongoing research into TBI, macular degeneration, and Alzheimer’s.
Wound Healing
Research shows that both laser and LED red light therapy can accelerate wound healing by reducing inflammation, increasing collagen production, and promoting new blood vessel growth. These effects help tissues repair more quickly and reduce scarring.
