Boulder Multiple Sclerosis Pain Treatment

Living with the debilitating pain and fatigue brought on by MS? Light therapy can help.

Living with the pain and fatigue brought on by MS can be debilitating. At the same time, sifting through treatment options can quickly cause frustration and anxiety.

While searching for effective Boulder MS pain management, many traditional therapies often rely on prescription medications. While beneficial, they may come with undesirable side effects ranging from fatigue to more severe health concerns like addiction.

In contrast, red light therapy emerges as an alternative pain management therapy available at Light Lounge, providing a beacon of hope for MS patients. Discover how integrating red light therapy into your MS treatment plan can offer relief from the debilitating symptoms associated with Multiple Sclerosis.

Red Light Therapy for Multiple Sclerosis

Multiple Sclerosis (MS)

Almost 1 million people in the United States are living with Multiple Sclerosis (MS), a neurodegenerative disease.1

MS is a condition in which a person’s immune system turns against the central nervous system. This causes a breakdown of the protein and fat structure called the myelin sheath, which protects the nerves around the brain and spinal cord. The breakdown can lead to chronic inflammation and miscommunication between the brain and the rest of the body.

The symptoms of MS are notably unpredictable and vary widely from one individual to another, making MS a particularly complex condition to manage. The variability means that what works for one person in terms of symptom relief might not work for another.

Finding the right treatment may require a customized plan to alleviate your symptoms.

  • Fatigue: Fatigue in MS can be so severe that it significantly interferes with daily activities, making even simple tasks feel impossible.
  • Impaired vision: This often manifests as blurred vision, double vision, or loss of vision, usually in one eye at a time, due to damage to the optic nerve.
  • Stiffness or weakness in muscles: Muscle stiffness (spasticity) and weakness can affect any part of the body, leading to difficulties with movement and coordination.
  • Mobility issues: Mobility problems may range from needing a walking aid to being wheelchair-bound, as balance and muscle coordination are impacted.
  • Numbness, tingling or pain: These sensory symptoms can occur anywhere in the body and range from mild to severe, often described as a pins-and-needles sensation or a sharp, stabbing pain.

These symptoms can impact any area of the body and are often difficult to predict, making them even more frustrating. Over time, the effects of MS can significantly worsen a person’s quality of life.

Treatment for MS

Most medications for multiple sclerosis are designed to either prevent the immune system’s attack – specifically by T-cells – on the nervous system’s myelin sheath or to hasten the nervous system’s recovery after such attacks. The attack process involves T-cells being attracted to the myelin sheath by proteins known as cytokines.

These common treatments aim to reduce the frequency and severity of flare-ups, manage symptoms, and slow the progression of the disease.

Corticosteroids for MS treatment are powerful anti-inflammatory drugs used to reduce nerve inflammation and manage acute flare-ups, aiming to decrease the severity and duration of attacks.

Pros:

  • Can shorten the duration of relapses
  • Helps manage severe symptoms rapidly
  • Quickly reduces inflammation during MS exacerbations

Cons:

  • Does not slow the progression of MS over time
  • May cause mood swings, increased risk of infection, and weight gain
  • Long-term use can lead to serious side effects including osteoporosis, hypertension, and diabetes2

Plasma exchange (plasmapheresis) for MS treatment involves removing and replacing the plasma in a patient's blood, aimed at eliminating harmful immune system components that contribute to MS flare-ups.

Pros:

  • May improve symptoms of severe MS relapses more quickly
  • Can be effective for those who don’t respond to corticosteroids
  • Targets the immune system’s components directly involved in the MS attack

Cons:

  • Requires access to specialized medical facilities
  • Not effective as a long-term treatment strategy for MS
  • Can lead to temporary side effects like low blood pressure and light-headedness

Benefits of Red Light Therapy for Managing MS Symptoms

Recently, an increasing number of studies have seen promising results of red light therapy for MS treatment. For example, a 2016 study found that red light therapy reduced inflammatory cells in the central nervous system and prevented damage to the myelin.3

Red light therapy is recognized for its minimal side effects, presenting a promising option for treating MS. Unlike conventional treatments, red light therapy offers a gentle, non-invasive approach that makes it a low-risk option for individuals who are concerned with the unwanted effects of traditional methods.

Red light therapy may help alleviate MS symptoms in the following ways:

  • Reducing inflammation: Red light therapy has been shown to inhibit inflammatory cytokines and release anti-inflammatory mediators. Since MS involves chronic inflammation in the central nervous system, red light therapy’s anti-inflammatory properties can help alleviate MS pain.
  • Pain relief: MS often causes neuropathic pain because of the damage to nerves. Red light therapy can help modulate nerve function and target underlying neuropathic mechanisms.
  • Better cellular health: Red light therapy stimulates the mitochondria and boosts production of ATP, which can help the cells heal more quickly and perform their functions more effectively.

Studies suggest that red light therapy can help reduce muscle stiffness and regenerate the body’s cells and tissues. These effects directly combat the negative symptoms of MS, providing needed relief for individuals living with this condition.

Finding a Red Light Therapy Provider

While the possibilities of red light therapy as a treatment for MS are exciting, it is important to keep in mind that not all red light therapy providers are quite the same. Individuals must seek out a red light therapy pain care center that utilizes medical-grade devices and effective processes.

Light Lounge leverages FDA-listed devices and research-backed strategies to provide MS pain treatment. Our cutting-edge, medical-grade equipment can help target MS symptoms and provide relief with regular use.

FAQs

When light that is in the red, near infrared, and infrared spectra is applied to the body, inflammation and pain are decreased, and healing is accelerated. Light therapy does this by reducing excessive oxidative stress at the cellular level with no documented nor reported negative side effects.

From folks who are suffering from chronic pain (light therapy can alleviate pain without drugs) to people who want to get more out of their training (light therapy can help increase performance and decrease recovery time).

Clinical trials and 4000 laboratory studies demonstrate that light therapy (also called photobiomodulation) has no negative side effects. It has been proven to heal soft tissue injuries, help with TBI, relieve pain without using harmful drugs and painkillers. For more evidence based information please see our BLOG.

    Red Light Therapy – Personal Results & Supporting Research Written after one session at The Light Lounge, Boulder I recently tried red light therapy (also called photobiomodulation) at The Light Lounge in Boulder and was surprised by how much better I felt afterward. After just one session, I noticed a clear reduction in pain in both my neck (specifically in the cervical facet joints) and my knees. Before the session, I had been going down my stairs at an angle to ease the pressure on my knees. Afterward the light therapy, I was able to walk down the steps straight on, without discomfort. Which felt huge. I tend to be skeptical of new wellness trends, especially ones that promise wide-ranging benefits. I started reading up on the science behind it. Red light therapy works by using specific wavelengths of red and near-infrared light (usually between 630nm and 850nm) that penetrate the skin and interact with the mitochondria in our cells. This process helps boost cellular energy (ATP), reduce oxidative stress, and trigger anti-inflammatory effects in the body. Here are a few research findings that stood out: • A 2009 meta-analysis in The Lancet found that low-level light therapy significantly reduced pain in people with chronic neck pain across several randomized trials. • A 2014 RCT published in Lasers in Medical Science showed improved knee function and reduced pain in osteoarthritis patients who received red light therapy. • A 2017 review in Pain Research and Management explained how red light therapy reduces inflammation and helps heal soft tissue and joint structures. I know more research is still unfolding—especially around ideal treatment plans and long-term results—my own short-term experience was meaningful enough that I’ve decided to sign up for their 3-month membership to give it a fair shot. If you’re dealing with chronic joint pain or stiffness, it might be worth looking into. At the very least, it gave me noticeable relief without meds or side effects, and that alone makes it worth exploring further.

    Relaxed. Swelling went down Have you ever bit your cheek? Well mine was hurting. Hurting bad. It had been several days and it wasn’t getting better. Dentist? Doctor, I thought? Urgent care? Frankly I don’t like the co-pay, I don’t like the wait. The drugs. What about the Lightlounge? I remembered an “inflammation “ setting on the pod last time I was in. The right side of my face was visibly swollen and there was a pain under my right jaw day and night. I checked my app. There was an opening that morning, and I decided that it might help my pain to squeeze in a quick session. (For some reason, I usually fall asleep when I get in the pod. Does that ever happen to any of you?) I felt myself waking up twice during my 15 minute session. My toe tapped against the shell to shake me awake the first time. I realized that the red lasers were still on, and was happy to be able to return to my dream. The second time I woke, I felt like I had been in there for quite some time – like I had taken a well-deserved nap on a rainy afternoon. But it was 10:30am, and I needed to get back to the office. Worried that the timer might have malfunctioned, I pushed the shell up to open the pod. (The lights were all still on, but it wasn’t hot.) I stood and walked around to the screen. It showed that the “inflamation” program was still running. Then about three seconds later, it shut down, the red lights went off, and the room was silent again. I smiled; beside myself that I’d awakened almost exactly at the end of my therapy. What a power nap, I thought! My next sensation was that…as I opened and shut my mouth, wiggling my tongue from side-to-side,...my mouth felt a lot better! It was as if the pain and swelling that was there around my cheek, had somehow drained down and away when I emerged from the pod and stood upright. That did NOT happen this morning, after a mediocre night’s sleep. But it DID…just now after one dream, fifteen minutes on my back, and a feeling of restful awakening??!! Thank you!

    As someone who hits the gym hard, recovery is a crucial part of my routine, and the Light Lounge Boulder has been a game-changer. After intense workouts, I’ve been using their light therapy sessions to speed up recovery and reduce soreness.

    I had bone on bone osteoarthritis in my hip. I tried everything from PT, dry, needling, massage, and stretching, and nothing would work. I saw a Facebook post about the Light Lounge get out of pain three weeks later I felt so much better now it’s been six months later and I feel amazing. I’m back to my old life. Thank you, Light Lounge. Absolutely, the best light therapy pod on the market.

    PLEASE MAKE SURE MY LAST NAME IS CHANGED TO JUST M. I was dealing with systemic inflammation that was quite bad. This began to change after a couple of months and now I can safely say it is now under control. I attribute this to my sessions in the Light Pod. The folks there are great and the place is calm and clean. I am grateful to have found Light Lounge.
