Red Light therapy is a treatment modality that uses low levels of red and infrared light to help your body heal. The light stimulates the mitochondria in your cells to produce ATP (energy), which results in improved health of the cell by allowing the cell to block damage caused by nitric oxide. All the cells in the body can benefit from this- from the tendon and muscle cells to the skin and brain cells.
