"I absolutely love my red light. Just helped me through nerve pain in my back. It is helping me with my stomach issues. And I swear when I get a slight sore throat, I put it on my neck and it is gone within hours."

What the research shows

How red and near-infrared light works in the body.

No single mechanism tells the whole story. Research points to several effects that reinforce and support one another, together creating the conditions the body needs to repair itself.

Cellular energy

Red and near-infrared light is absorbed by mitochondria, the energy-producing structures inside cells. Peer-reviewed research indicates this increases cellular energy (ATP) production, which supports the body's natural repair and maintenance processes.

Inflammation response

Clinical trials have measured reductions in key inflammatory markers in bloodwork following photobiomodulation therapy. Multiple systematic reviews report consistent anti-inflammatory effects across joint, muscle, and soft tissue conditions.

Blood flow

Studies indicate that red light therapy may improve local microcirculation, which supports the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to affected tissues.

Pain signaling

Research suggests red and near-infrared light may influence neurotransmitter activity involved in pain signaling. This is one of several mechanisms being studied as a basis for the pain reduction reported across clinical trials.

Connective tissue support

Peer-reviewed studies have examined the effects of photobiomodulation on cells involved in cartilage, tendon, and bone maintenance. Research suggests red and near-infrared light may support the body's natural connective tissue repair processes.

Better environment for your body's own repair

These statements describe published research on red light therapy (photobiomodulation). See our science page for study references on different conditions.

Why the specs matter

Not all red light devices are medical grade. Here's what to look for.

200 mW/cm²
Irradiance (power density)

Power density determines whether light reaches deep tissue or stops at the skin surface. Most consumer devices deliver 80–100 mW/cm². The Cura ProWave delivers 200 mW/cm² — enough to penetrate through skin and muscle to joint and nerve tissue underneath. This is the single most important spec for a red light therapy device.

660 + 850 nm
Dual-spectrum, clinically studied wavelengths

660nm (visible red) and 850nm (near-infrared) are the two most extensively studied wavelengths in photobiomodulation research. The Cura ProWave uses triple-chip medical LEDs that emit both wavelengths simultaneously, matching the parameters used in clinical studies.

7+ joint areas
Flexible wrap-around design

Knee, shoulder, hip, hand, wrist, elbow, ankle, lower back, neck. The flexible neoprene pad molds to curved body surfaces so the full treatment area receives consistent light delivery. No repositioning, no handheld aiming, no appointments. You decide when and where.

Why power density matters

Two wavelengths, two depths.

660nm red light is absorbed near the surface, in the skin and dermis. 850nm near-infrared travels further through fat and muscle to the joint and nerve tissue underneath. Higher power density is what carries that light all the way down instead of stopping at the skin.

Simple by design

20 minutes. Any joint. No setup.

Step 1 — Wrap the pad 1

Wrap

Place the pad on the area you want to treat. The flexible design conforms to any joint or muscle group. Use the built-in strap to secure the device on smaller joints like the knee, or snap on the included extension strap when treating larger areas like the back or shoulders.

Step 2 — Press the controller 2

Press

Select your mode on the large controller screen. Choose a preset therapy mode, and the device automatically applies the right wavelength, frequency, treatment time & irradience (dose), no manual adjustments needed.

Step 3 — Relax 3

Relax Anywhere

Use it anywhere. In bed, in the car, or out in the yard. The included red light therapy power bank delivers our full power with no wall outlet required, so you get clinic-grade treatments wherever you are. Use daily for best results.

Questions before you order

Asked and answered.

Is this FDA approved? ▼
The Cura ProWave Deep Healing Pad™ is an FDA Class II medical device. That means the manufacturer is listed with the FDA and meets the regulatory requirements for its device classification. It is manufactured under ISO-certified quality standards.
How is this different from cheaper red light devices? ▼
Power density. Most consumer devices deliver 80–100 mW/cm². The Cura ProWave delivers 200 mW/cm² using medical-grade triple-chip LEDs. Higher power density means the light can reach deeper tissue rather than being absorbed entirely by the skin surface. We also use the specific wavelengths (660nm and 850nm) most extensively studied in photobiomodulation research. And unlike other portable pads that drop to roughly 70% output on battery power, the included purpose-built power bank delivers the full 200 mW/cm² untethered, no wall outlet needed.
How long until I notice a difference? ▼
Individual experiences vary. In clinical studies of photobiomodulation therapy, many participants reported noticeable changes within 2–4 weeks of consistent daily use. Some people notice changes sooner, some later. Consistency matters more than session length. The 60-day guarantee gives you enough time to evaluate whether the device is working for you.
Is it safe to use with medications? ▼
Red light therapy is non-invasive and does not interact with medications. It does not introduce any substance into the body. Systematic reviews of photobiomodulation research report no significant adverse effects. If you have a specific medical condition or concern, we recommend discussing it with your healthcare provider.
Can I use it on multiple body parts? ▼
Yes. The flexible pad wraps around any joint or muscle group such as knees, back, neck, shoulder, hip, hand, wrist, elbow, foot, ankle. The built-in strap secures the pad on smaller joints, and the included extension strap snaps on when you need to wrap larger areas like the back or shoulders, no awkward re-wrapping required.
What if it doesn't work for me? ▼
Return it within 60 days for a full refund. Return shipping fees (~$16) are at the customer's expense. We stand behind the device because the research behind the technology is strong, but we also know that individual responses vary. If you're not satisfied, you get your money back.
I have metal implants. Can I still use this device? ▼
Red light therapy does not interact with metal implants, pacemakers, or titanium screws. The light does not generate magnetic fields or electrical currents that would affect implanted hardware. That said, we always recommend consulting your doctor about any new therapy if you have implanted medical devices.
