Can Red Light Therapy Accelerate Healing of Injuries?

A 2014 review looked at 17 studies on the effects of red light therapy on skeletal muscle repair for the treatment of muscle injuries.

“The main effects of LLLT were a reduction in the inflammatory process, the modulation of growth factors and myogenic regulatory factors, and increased angiogenesis.”

The studies analyzed demonstrate the positive effects of red light on the muscle repair process.

“The findings suggest that LLLT is an excellent therapeutic resource for the treatment of skeletal muscle injuries.”
