Shoulder pain is a common complaint caused by muscle strain, tendonitis, bursitis, वात रोग, or rotator cuff injuries. It can limit mobility and affect daily activities. Traditional treatments include pain medication, शारीरिक चिकित्सा, or steroid injections.
Recently, लाल प्रकाश चिकित्सा (आरएलटी) has gained attention as a non-invasive, दवा मुक्त विकल्प for reducing shoulder pain and promoting healing. But is it effective?
How Red Light Therapy Works for Shoulder Pain
Red light therapy uses specific wavelengths of red (630-660 एनएम) and near-infrared light (810–850 nm) that penetrate deep into tissues. This light is absorbed by mitochondria, enhancing एटीपी उत्पादन and promoting cellular repair.
For shoulder pain, RLT can help:
- 🌿 Reduce inflammation in muscles, tendons, and joints
- 💡 दर्द दूर करे by modulating nerve activity
- 🔋 Accelerate tissue repair, helping damaged muscles or tendons heal faster
- ❤️ Improve blood circulation, supplying oxygen and nutrients to affected areas
Scientific Evidence
Clinical studies support red light therapy for musculoskeletal pain:
- 📚 A study in Lasers in Medical Science found that low-level laser therapy (लोल्ट) significantly reduced shoulder pain and inflammation in patients with tendonitis.
- 🔬 Red light therapy has been shown to enhance healing of soft tissues, including rotator cuff injuries and muscle strains.
- 💡 RLT is commonly used in physical therapy clinics, sports medicine, and rehabilitation centers to support recovery from chronic or acute shoulder injuries.
How to Use Red Light Therapy for Shoulder Pain
- सत्र अवधि: 10–20 minutes per affected shoulder
- आवृत्ति: 3–5 times per week until pain relief is achieved
