Red light therapy For Plantar Fasciitis Treatment

Injuries can happen whether you take part in regular exercise or from just going about your daily routine, excessive stress on a specific area of the body overtime can result in pain and that area being injured. It’s our body’s way of telling us we need to take a break, and allow our body to rest and recover. One common injury is plantar fasciitis and is caused when excessive pressure is placed on the foot. This can lead to inflammation and pain as well as getting in the way of the quality of life, as it can be difficult to use the foot while it’s healing. This means that normal activities such as walking can be inconvenient and painful.

Whenever we experience injuries it’s amazing what our bodies are capable of. Our ability to heal and repair ourselves when damage is caused can be astounding sometimes. However, sometimes we need that little extra help, whether that be because we’ve got a big event coming up or we want to get over our injuries and want to speed up the recovery process. Plantar fasciitis is no different. Which is where red light therapy comes in. Sometimes we need that gentle nudge to speed up the recovery process. You may have already heard about red light therapy and its amazing benefits. In this blog we at Active Care Chiropractic explore how to harness the healing power of red light to overcome plantar fasciitis, accelerate tissue repair, reduce inflammation and alleviate pain.

How Does Red Light Therapy Work?

It’s no secret that red light therapy has amazing benefits, with it growing in popularity in recent years, and there’s no wonder! It’s amazing what just a little bit of light can do for your whole body. However it’s okay using red light therapy and seeing what it does for your body, but knowing how it works is key to understanding this innovative machine. It’s science not magic… Red light therapy also known as photobiomodulation (PBM), harnesses the power of wavelengths of light which stimulates cellular activity and promotes various healing processes within the body. Red light therapy works by acting on the power plant in your body’s cells – the mitochondria. Giving more energy to the body’s cells to help them work more efficiently, such as helping to repair the skin, boosting cell growth, and enhancing skin rejuvenation. There are many different devices that offer red light therapy. At Active Care we’re lucky to own the amazing NovoTHOR machine which targets the whole body and allows for healing. We also own a handheld Thor device (the LX2) that can target specific areas of the body.

Plantar fasciitis is a common condition especially among frequent runners. Affecting the plantar fascia – the band of tissue on the bottom of the foot connecting the heel to the toes, it can be a debilitating condition to endure. Often requiring long periods of rest time and can cause intense pain in those who are unfortunate enough to suffer from this injury. It can be extremely frustrating to deal with, especially if you’re an athlete, as any form of exercise will be put on pause while you wait for your body to heal, which can take a long time on its own.

It can also impact your daily activities as using your foot before the plantar fasciitis has healed can cause pain. As this can develop from overuse of the foot; one common cause is being on your feet all day, if you have a job that requires you to stand for long periods of time you can be put more at risk. Exercise can be a cause, especially without a proper warm up routine. Not stretching before working out can lead to a decreased flexibility and can cause pressure to be put on to the plantar fascia when walking, running and engaging in activities that use the feet. This can cause micro tears in the fascia, leading to plantar fasciitis. That’s why it’s important to see a chiropractor to help speed the recovery process up, and help you get back to a better quality of life faster.
