Red light therapy for fibromyalgia

Fibromyalgia is a pain disorder about which relatively little is known. The disorder is complex, with sometimes vague symptoms, and is often not recognised by doctors. Yet there are many people who suffer from this chronic condition. Red light therapy can offer relief for fibromyalgia. Read here what red light can do and how you can treat yourself.

What is fibromyalgia?

Fibromyalgia is a chronic pain disorder. It causes pain throughout the body. The pain usually originates in the connective tissue and muscles and is often accompanied by fatigue and stiffness. Fibromyalgia is difficult to diagnose because it is not an inflammatory disease and scans often show no abnormalities.

Symptoms of fibromyalgia

Fibromyalgia manifests itself differently in everyone, and the symptoms often vary. The most common symptom is muscle and joint pain that spreads throughout the body. In addition, you may experience stiffness, chronic fatigue, and numbness or tingling. You may also notice this disorder mentally, for example through poor concentration, headaches, and sleep problems.

How can red light therapy help with fibromyalgia?

Red light therapy is a treatment method that helps with fibromyalgia. It provides support by reducing pain and stiffness. It can also increase your energy levels. With fibromyalgia, it is important to use intranasal laser therapy. This involves shining red light through the nose into the blood, stimulating the mitochondria.

The red light improves blood flow, promotes cell repair and reduces inflammation. This can reduce pain, decrease inflammation and make you feel fitter. Read more about intranasal laser therapy for fibromyalgia with the IN-light laser here.

Has the use of red light for fibromyalgia been scientifically proven?

Yes, the use of red light therapy for fibromyalgia has been scientifically proven. This study shows that fibromyalgia patients experienced significant pain reduction, improved mobility, and reduced stiffness, fatigue, depression, and anxiety after using low-level laser therapy.

Which device is best for fibromyalgia?

The IN-light laser is best used for fibromyalgia. This device is used with a nose clip, allowing the red light to work systemically on the entire body. This makes it possible to treat fibromyalgia from within.

Reviews on fibromyalgia

There has been a significant improvement since I started using the laser

I started using the laser for fibromyalgia and to improve my immune system, among other things. After six months of using the laser, I noticed many improvements! In the beginning, I also used other things besides the laser. However, I continued to use only the laser. All my symptoms have improved and my immune system has been greatly strengthened. I haven't had the flu since and feel much fitter!

Using the laser requires little effort and produces excellent results! I can therefore recommend it to everyone!

You can even take the laser with you when you travel; you can use it anywhere.

I really mean it when I say that I have my life back thanks to the laser.

In 2013, at the age of 22, I developed chronic pain after breaking my ankle. I already suffered from recurring back and muscle problems, which were getting worse. At the age of 25, I was taking a lot of medication, but the pain remained and the side effects drained my energy.

My mother told me about laser technology. I was sceptical, but decided to give it a try. The laser has changed my life. I can now cope with fibromyalgia without medication, I have more energy, I sleep better, and I have even lost weight.

Only four weeks in and already feeling much more energetic

It is still too early to say that the home laser has completely cured my fibromyalgia, as I have only been using the laser for four weeks. But I have already noticed that I have much more energy.

Since I started using the laser, I wake up feeling much more rested in the morning and am more active during the day. After three years of pain and no real solution, the laser has already made a difference. The pain is less and my energy levels have greatly improved. This gives me a lot of hope for the future.

I still live my life with fibromyalgia, but it is a much more pleasant life

I just had to accept my fibromyalgia. Learning to live with it was pretty much the treatment I was prescribed. And now? Now I'm still living with it. But now I'm combining it with PBM, i.e. home laser therapy.

Let me say one thing: even though I'm only eight home laser treatments in, the pain and fatigue are much, much less. And I have much more energy. Yes, really, I now have a completely different, much more pleasant life!

I was sceptical, I admit, about the home laser. But I've changed my mind. I can handle more, I have a more positive outlook on life and I'm secretly thinking about carefully starting to exercise again.

For years, I have been suffering from what is said to be fibromyalgia. I took my symptoms to my GP and to a rheumatologist. They took X-rays of my limbs, did an MRI scan... But no, no one has really been able to tell me what is wrong with me. And so it is classified as fibromyalgia.

In February this year, the symptoms got worse. Whether it was due to overexertion – I was working more and doing a demanding course of study – I have no idea. The fact was that I was awake every night because of the pain. And partly because of that, I didn't get much done during the day either.

A few weeks ago, I started PBM, using the home laser. I came across it through a friend. Shall I tell you something? Whereas I used to be unable to spend a few hours in town, last week I spent a whole day shopping with my daughters in Utrecht. Don't get me wrong, I still had some discomfort the following night due to the effort, but it's nothing compared to the pain I was used to.

I was sceptical, I'll be honest, about the home laser. Not surprising, really, when you've been dealing with symptoms for so long that no one can really figure out. But I've changed my mind. My quality of life has improved dramatically thanks to the home laser. I can do more and have a more positive outlook on life. Yes, I'm even secretly thinking about carefully starting to exercise again.
