The Revitalizing Power of Nitric Oxide
Releases acetylcholine—balances the parasympathetic nervous system
Improve circulation—(vasodilation) reduces inflammation and decreases pain
Increases angiogenesis—builds new vessels
Increases lymphatic activity—decreases swelling
Increases cell regeneration—(wound healing) stimulates tissue granulation & connective tissue
Increases bone mineralization—reduces osteoporosis
Increases phagocytosis—improved immune response
Increases RNA-DNA synthesis—cell building
“We believe that the use of NASA light-emitting diodes (LED) for light therapy will greatly enhance the natural wound healing process, and more quickly return the patient to a pre-injury/illness level of activity. This work is supported and managed through the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and NASA Marshall Space Flight Center-SBIR Program.” (Whelan, HT et al. 2003)
“Photobiomodulation by light in the red to near infrared range (630-1000nm) using low energy lasers or light-emitting diode (LED) arrays has been shown to accelerate wound healing, improve recovery from ischemic injury in the heart and attenuate degeneration in the injured optic nerve.” (Eells, et al. 2004)
“Low Level Light Therapy (LLLT) is being evaluated and introduced into clinical practice for treating both chronic and acute pain, aiding wound healing, decreasing the effects of stroke and for other applications.” (Yamaura, et al. 2009)
