About Neck Pain

Neck pain is a common discomfort that can range from mild to severe, and may be acute or chronic. It can stem from various causes, including poor posture, muscle strain, injuries, or medical conditions like arthritis. Activities such as prolonged computer use, awkward sleeping positions, or sudden movements can lead to pain and stiffness.

Poor posture is a major contributor to neck pain, especially in our digital age where extended screen time leads to forward head posture and muscle stress. Stress and anxiety can further increase muscle tension. Good posture, regular stretching, and proper ergonomics can help prevent and reduce neck pain.

Treatment options vary based on the cause and symptoms. While consulting a health professional is recommended, many cases respond well to conservative treatments including self-care, exercise, and red light therapy. Red light therapy can help reduce inflammation and promote healing, especially when combined with mobility and strengthening exercises.

Primary Treatment 

Position the modules depending on the area of pain or injury:

Option 1 

To target the neck muscles, place the vertical modules on either side of the back spinal column, with the horizontal module sitting around the front.

Option 2

To target the cervical spine and upper traps, position the horizontal module at the back of the neck

Option 3

To target higher up the cervical spine, it may be more comfortable to lie back onto the modules when positioned vertically.

Treatment Time

• Each area should be treated for 10–15 minutes per session, up to 2 times daily. For best results, combine red light therapy with gentle mobility and strengthening exercises tailored to your issue. Always listen to your body, and if in doubt, consult a healthcare professional for guidance.
• Consistency is key. Doing a short treatment every day will be more effective than doing longer sessions more sporadically.

Secondary Treatment 

Neck pain can be caused by tension in the upper traps. Light therapy can help provide pain relief, reduce muscle tension and tightness and improve range of motion.

1. Position the vertical modules over the traps when attaching the device around the neck.
2. Alternatively treat one shoulder at a time by laying the device front to back over the upper traps.

Treatment Expectations

On average, our customers see an 89% decrease in pain within 2-3 weeks. Some people have noticeable relief of pain, even after just one session!

One big impact on results is how much blood and tissue is around the area of pain and inflammation.

You can expect faster results on larger areas, like hips, knees and back. Smaller areas like hands and ankles, may require 3-4 weeks for noticeable pain reduction.

Treatment Benefits

Inflammation

Inflammation is a common cause of pain. Light therapy is a proven treatment to help significantly reduce inflammation.

Pain Transmission

Reduces pain signal transmission in the nervous system through neurotransmitter modulation.

Tissue Health

Stimulates tissue repair and regeneration through an increase in cellular function and reduction in oxidative stress

Blood Flow

Improvements in blood flow will contribute to reduced inflammation, healthy tissues and faster healing.
