Cellular stimulation:
Light therapy is believed to stimulate cellular processes. Specifically, it enhances mitochondrial function, leading to increased ATP (adenosine triphosphate) production, which is crucial for energy transfer in cells.
Anti-inflammatory effects:
Light therapy can modulate inflammatory responses, reducing swelling and pain associated with injuries.
Enhanced tissue repair:
By promoting collagen synthesis and improving circulation, light therapy can accelerate the healing of soft tissues, including muscles, tendons and ligaments.
Pain relief:
The therapy may trigger the release of endorphins and other neurotransmitters, providing analgesic effects and reducing pain and its intensity.
