Chronic pain is a serious issue that is often underestimated. It is rarely discussed, yet roughly 20 % of U.S. adults live with some form of it.

Given those numbers, countless people worldwide cope with daily discomfort. If you experience persistent pain or inflammation, learning about the condition and possible relief options can help.

Types of pain

Pain is not uniform; it is classified into types that many people do not recognize. The three main categories are:

Chronic pain – discomfort lasting more than six months that can lead to fatigue, tense muscles, headaches, or arthritis. The underlying cause may or may not be identifiable.

Acute pain – short-lived discomfort with a clear source, such as a fracture, burn, or cut, that typically resolves as tissues heal.

Neuropathic pain – pain arising from nerve damage. Signals may fire spontaneously, producing sudden, unpleasant sensations; triggers can include infection, inflammation, disease, or syndromes.

Red light therapy offers a non-invasive, drug-free option that may ease all three types without surgery or medication.

What is light therapy?

Red light therapy delivers red and near-infrared wavelengths to injured tissue. This exposure may boost cellular energy production, supporting natural repair and potentially lowering inflammation and pain levels.

How red light therapy works to treat pain

The low-level light penetrates the skin and may stimulate cells, reduce oxidative stress, ease inflammation, and improve local circulation.

Whether the problem is a sports injury, joint pain, fracture, muscle soreness, or arthritis, selected wavelengths have shown beneficial effects on healing in some studies.

Over time, light therapy may help the body manage pain more effectively by supporting its natural anti-inflammatory processes. With consistent use, flare-ups might become less frequent, and everyday discomfort could feel easier to tolerate.
