How Red Light Therapy Helps with Plantar Fasciitis:


Here are more medical benefits and detail following our investment in a professional Red Light Therapy unit at Urban Wellness Health in Aberdeen.


Red Light Therapy (RLT) can be beneficial for plantar fasciitis by promoting healing, reducing inflammation, and relieving pain. It works by stimulating cellular repair and blood circulation, which can accelerate tissue healing and reduce discomfort.


How Red Light Therapy Helps with Plantar Fasciitis:

Reduces Inflammation – RLT decreases pro-inflammatory cytokines, which can help reduce swelling and pain in the plantar fascia.


Enhances Tissue Repair – It stimulates mitochondrial activity, increasing ATP production and accelerating healing of damaged tissues.


Improves Blood Flow – Increased circulation means better oxygen and nutrient delivery to the injured area, speeding up recovery.


Reduces Pain – Red light therapy helps desensitize pain receptors and decrease nerve irritation, making it easier to walk and move.


Helps with Muscle & Tendon Relaxation – It loosens tight muscles around the foot and lower leg, which can ease strain on the plantar fascia.


How to Use Red Light Therapy for Plantar Fasciitis:


✅ Wavelength: 660nm (red) and 850nm (near-infrared) are the most effective for deep tissue repair and reducing inflammation.

 ✅ Distance from Device: Keep the affected foot 6-12 inches away from the light source.

 ✅ Consistency is Key: Best results occur with regular use over 4-8 weeks.
