A study by Ferraresi et al. (2015) demonstrated that Photobiomodulation Therapy significantly enhances energy production in muscle cells by increasing mitochondrial activity and ATP levels. This therapy involves using specific wavelengths of light (red at 630 nm and near-infrared at 850 nm), which are absorbed by the mitochondria, the energy producers of the cell. PBMT stimulates these mitochondria, leading to higher energy output, which helps cells repair and regenerate more effectively. This increase in cellular energy is crucial for enhancing nerve and muscle function, promoting faster recovery and pain relief.
