BlueTouch pain relief patch

The use of blue LED light for treating back pain is a world-first in new approaches to therapy. Philips BlueTouch makes pain relief possible in a completely natural way: the blue LED light exclusively activates the body’s own processes for helping with pain relief. BlueTouch has been specially developed for use on the upper and/or lower regions of the back. Thanks to its natural mode of action, this application represents a substance-free alternative to medicinal products. Philips BlueTouch is available prescription-free in pharmacies.

The major benefit of therapy with blue LED light lies in its natural character. The blue light stimulates the body’s own processes. When blue LED light hits the human skin, the body’s own supplies of nitric oxide (NO) molecules are released and transported to the muscle causing pain. This small molecule has a great effect: The back pain is relieved naturally. Side effects, as may occur with drug-based treatments, are therefore excluded.

Apart from its noticable soothing warmth the blue LED light stimulates the production of nitric oxide (NO) in the body. NO promotes the circulation. As a consequence, the supply of oxygen and nutrients to the muscle is improved, and at the same time pain transmission is reduced. The muscles can relax and pain relieves. NO is said to have antioxidant, cytoprotective and anti-inflammatory characteristics. It is thus able to protect muscles and nerves against damage and prevent further injuries. Philips BlueTouch can therefore not only bring pain relief but also act as a preventive measure.
