Joint Pain & Inflammation Using Red & Infrared Light Therapy
Joint pain, stiffness, and inflammation can affect mobility, comfort, and quality of life. This routine uses red and infrared light therapy to help reduce inflammation, improve circulation, and support joint comfort and flexibility at home.
The SoGlow Red & Infrared Light Therapy Panel delivers high-intensity red and near-infrared wavelengths designed to penetrate deeper into joints and surrounding tissue, supporting pain relief and recovery.
Some people notice improved comfort after a few sessions, while more consistent reductions in stiffness and inflammation typically occur after 3–6 weeks of regular use.
How to Use Red & Infrared Light Therapy for Joint Pain
- Position the panel: Place the panel so the light is directed at the affected joint (e.g. knees, hips, shoulders, elbows, or hands).
- Use red & infrared light: Complete a session lasting 10–15 minutes per joint.
- Use consistently: Aim for 3–5 sessions per week, or daily during flare-ups.
- Combine with gentle movement: Light mobility or stretching can help support joint flexibility.
The Science Behind Red & Infrared Light Therapy for Joint Health
- Inflammation support: Red and infrared light therapy may help reduce inflammatory responses in joint tissue.
- Improved circulation: Increased blood flow helps deliver oxygen and nutrients to joints and surrounding areas.
- Tissue repair: Light therapy supports cellular processes involved in tissue repair and recovery.
Recommended Device
The SoGlow Red & Infrared Light Therapy Panel is ideal for joint pain and inflammation, delivering higher-intensity light over larger areas compared to wearable devices.
When to Use the Panel
- Morning: To reduce stiffness and improve joint mobility.
- After activity: To support recovery following movement or exercise.
- Evening: To help ease discomfort and support relaxation.
Additional Tips for Joint Health
- Stay active: Gentle, regular movement helps maintain joint function.
- Hydration: Adequate hydration supports joint lubrication.
- Nutrition: A balanced diet with anti-inflammatory foods can complement light therapy.
Consistency is key. Regular use of red and infrared light therapy can help reduce joint discomfort, support mobility, and improve overall joint health over time.
