For plantar fasciitis, RLT can help by:
- ❤️ 염증 감소 in the plantar fascia and surrounding tissues
- 💡 통증 완화 by modulating nerve signaling and inflammatory mediators
- 🔋 Stimulating tissue repair to strengthen fascia and connective tissue
- ❤️ Improving blood flow to the heel and arch for faster recovery
과학적 증거
Research supports the potential benefits of red light therapy for plantar fasciitis:
- 📚 연구 Lasers in Medical Science showed that 저수준 레이저 요법 (LLLT) significantly reduced heel pain and inflammation in plantar fasciitis patients after several weeks.
- 💡 Clinical observations indicate that RLT can accelerate healing of micro-tears in the fascia and reduce post-exercise soreness.
- 🔬 Red light therapy is increasingly used in sports medicine and physical therapy to support soft tissue recovery and manage chronic foot pain.
