I’ve been a believer in the health benefits of Red Light Therapy which is now known as photobiomodulation (PBM) as I’ve seen it clinically and is well supported in the literature. Now, it is a potential game changer for post stroke symptoms, TBI’s, post concussive symptoms, neurodegenerative diseases. Solid evidence points to PBM’s ability to reach past the cranium into certain areas of the brain. Pre and post brain imaging studies show positive changes including (but not limited to), new blood pathways (angiogenesis), reduced cell death (apoptosis), reduced neuroinflammation. Histological and functional improvements mean better quality of life.
