Poor circulation and the lack of oxygen and other essential molecules (i.e., glucose and Adenosine Triphosphate-ATP) in blood vessels can cause pain or a lack of sensation. Light energy stimulates the release of nitric oxide, causing blood vessels to increase in diameter (vasodilation) and allowing more blood flow, oxygen, and other important factors to be delivered. This increase in oxygen and nutrients increases ATP production, which activates pain relieving pathways. LED Light Therapy can help to decrease pain and inflammation and increase tissue regeneration in a localized area to promote regenerative healing. This reduction in inflammation is the perfect adjunct or alternative therapy for those suffering from pain or injury.

​

Inflammation is often the root cause of muscle and joint issues. LED Light Therapy may be the key to relief from debilitating aches and pains. Best of all it's safe, non-invasive, and requires no prescription. Choosing an FDA-cleared, medical grade device, such as Celluma that's offered at Ascend, can help you treat a wide variety of muscle, joint, and skin conditions.  Medical grade LED light therapy is a secret weapon for reducing pain whether it's related to a health issue such as osteoarthritis, an autoimmune condition such as rheumatoid arthritis, or due to an injury. , enhancing post-workout recovery, muscle sprains, and caused by injury, overuse, or a chronic condition such as arthritis.

​

When it comes to effective treatment of pain conditions with LED red and infrared light therapy, wavelength is key. Compared to blue light therapy, near-infrared wavelengths can penetrate deep into the muscle and joint tissue to alleviate pain, increase circulation and decrease inflammation. Infrared light therapy provides compromised cells with extra energy to accelerate the natural repair of compromised tissue cells, foster cell production, and restore homeostasis within the body.
