Can I use PlatinumLED Therapy Lights to treat neuropathy?Updated a year ago

Yes. The red, near-infrared (NIR), and blue light therapy found in our lights has shown great promise treating neuropathy, a condition characterized by nerve damage and often associated with symptoms like pain, numbness, and tingling. Red and NIR light therapy exerts positive effects on neuropathic symptoms by promoting cellular repair and reducing inflammation. These wavelengths can penetrate tissues, enhancing mitochondrial function and increasing the production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which is crucial for cellular energy. This, in turn, may aid in nerve regeneration and alleviate neuropathic discomfort. Blue light therapy, on the other hand, possesses anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties that could contribute to managing neuropathy-related symptoms.
