Got Knee Pain?
Whether you have a sprain, strain, tear or simply overuse there are many causes for acute knee pain. Near infrared light therapy is for improving local circulation and relieving pain.
Light Therapy - Dramatic Improvements
The red and infrared diodes cause an increase in local circulation as measured by a Scanning Laser Doppler manufactured by Moor Instruments. Brighter colors indicate increased circulation.
The images were obtained on the feet of 4 individuals. As expected, each person has a baseline blood flow (circulation) which is unique and thus the magnitude of their response to light therapy is also unique. Age, disease status, exercise status and weight, are among variables that determine baseline flow. These four individuals demonstrate different baseline blood flows and EACH had an increase in blood flow following treatment.

This pair of images shows the effect of a standard heating pad that can burn the skin (right) compared to pre-treatment, baseline blood flow (left).

Unlike heating pads, these pads do not cause possible thermal injury.
The following 3 pairs of images show pre-treatment baseline on the left and post treatment on the right using pads for 20 minutes.
