According to the CDC, as of November of 2021, 58.5 million people in the US suffer from Arthritis. That’s more than 20% of the population. Common treatments for Arthritis range from NSAIDS like ibuprofen, that can cause harm to the stomach and liver, to extensive surgeries to repair or replace joints. Understandably, many Arthritis patients are in search of alternative pain relief solutions. Red Light Therapy is a highly effective, non-invasive, non-pharmaceutical option for those with chronic joint pain. 
How Red Light Therapy Works
We know that Red Light Therapy (RLT) has benefits like body contouring and skin rejuvenation, but one of the truly amazing advantages of RLT is how it can reduce inflammation and relieve pain throughout the body. Pain relief is achieved when clinically proven therapeutic wavelengths of 635nm red light and 880nm near infrared light are introduced to the body. These wavelengths directly affect the mitochondria in our cells to stimulate increased cellular energy production (ATP). This allows the mitochondria to carry out their purpose of cleaning, detoxifying and energizing cells. The result is increased blood flow and improved lymphatic circulation which, in turn, reduces the painful inflammation and cleanses the system of free radicals.
Red Light Therapy Helps Arthritis Patients
Arthritis treatment requires targeted therapy and the most effective Red Light Therapy system for targeted treatment is the Contour Light System. Hand held devices, while mobile, are not your best option when it comes to inflammation reduction. That is one of the reasons why Douglas Dreier, the creator of Contour Light, designed the device with flexible pads that comfortably encompass the problem areas to deliver effective treatment. Each pad is lined with overlapping LEDs and a proprietary reflective coating to ensure that there is full coverage and maximum absorption of the Contour Light combined wavelengths of LED (635nm) and near infrared light (880nm).
Ease and Comfort Set the Contour Light System Apart
Your Arthritis patients don’t need to endure uncomfortable and invasive procedures to achieve pain relief. The Contour Light System is the key to keeping your patients comfortable. There is no extensive training, licensing or certification required to operate the Contour Light System. You and your technicians will be able to apply the pads easily and your patients will welcome the luxuriating warmth and comfort that quickly relieves pain and markedly reduces swelling and inflammation, among numerous other benefits.
The Contour Light System was built out of a desire to make Red Light Therapy safer, easier and more effective for both practitioners and their patients. With this FDA cleared red light system, you can provide your clients with the solutions they need to live their lives to the fullest. You can confidently encourage your clients who suffer with Arthritis and other joint pain to try Red Light Therapy with the assurance that you have the best system available at the ready.
