Millions globally suffer from chronic and acute pain, driving a constant search for effective, non-invasive, and drug-free solutions for conditions like backaches, joint pain, and sports injuries.
Photobiomodulation (PBM) therapy, an advanced approach using light to stimulate natural healing, is presented as a leading solution.
Litemed, an Indian health tech startup, recently secured ₹20 crore (approx. $2.2 million USD) in pre-Series A funding to accelerate the development and adoption of their PBM-powered device: the Curapod PBM pain relief device.
Photobiomodulation (PBM): Unlocking the Body’s Natural Healing Power
PBM therapy (also known as low-level laser therapy or red light therapy) uses specific red and near-infrared (NIR) light wavelengths to stimulate cellular function. It is non-invasive, generates no heat, and causes no tissue damage.
Key Cellular Effects
1. Boosted Cellular Energy (ATP Production)
Photons are absorbed by mitochondria, boosting ATP production and providing cells with the energy needed for rapid repair and optimal function.
2. Reduction in Inflammation
Lowers pro-inflammatory cytokines while enhancing anti-inflammatory mediators, creating an optimal environment for tissue regeneration.
3. Enhanced Blood Circulation
Promotes vasodilation and improves microcirculation, delivering critical oxygen and nutrients to damaged tissues.
The Era of Wearable Pain Relief Technology
Pain management has historically relied on oral medications, injections, or invasive procedures. Wearable devices are emerging as transformative, offering convenient, accessible, and self-managed solutions.
“This shift moves from reactive treatment to proactive, personalized health management.”
