What research says about red light and everyday neck and back discomfort.
What research shows
Clinical reviews have found low-level light reduced neck pain and gave short-term relief for chronic low back pain compared with placebo.
Why it works
Light is absorbed by the mitochondria in your cells, supporting local circulation and helping tight muscles relax. Wearables keep the light close to the skin.
Relevant wavelengths
660nm red light is visible and works at the surface. 850nm near-infrared is invisible and reaches the muscle beneath.
