For many of us, pain is not sudden or dramatic. It seeps into daily life, manifesting like a knee that often struggles with stairs, a stiff back after extended hours at work, or muscle soreness that never goes away. Managing it often involves medication, topical treatments, and periodic physiotherapy. Curapod, a wearable light-therapy device from Litemed, aims to offer a steadier, drug-free option for such everyday discomfort.
Designed for home use, the device targets common musculoskeletal pain rather than acute medical conditions. Its focus is on regular support, not quick relief.
Curapod uses photobiomodulation therapy, shining red and near-infrared light on the affected area. According to them, this can penetrate the muscles and the joints to help enhance blood flow and combat inflammation.
The device should be worn where it hurts most and operates through pre-set sessions lasting approximately 30 minutes. The therapy is painless, silent, and non-thermal, allowing it to be used regularly without supervision.
The kit consists of two wearable pieces, straps, adhesive patches, charger cables, and a manual. The device is lightweight and easy to wear, for use in a seated position or at work. There is a low or non-existent technological skill requirement to use the device.
Interestingly, a companion app for mobile devices allows users to start the session, track their use, and follow guided sessions to become more consistent in their pain management practices.

Curapod is approved by the Central Drugs Standard Control Organisation (CDSCO), which categorises it under Class B. Curapod, therefore, can be classified not in the wellness market but in the medical market. Curapod is classified as drug-free, with no side effects, which makes it preferred by users to avoid dependence on medication.
The device is priced at Rs. 8,399, inclusive of taxes. Ongoing offers bring the price down to Rs. 7,139, with bundled adhesive patches. Flexible options for zero-interest EMI are also available. In addition, Litemed offers a one-year warranty and lifetime support for the product, which enhances its value as well.
Curapod does not promise an instantaneous solution. Rather, the device is ideal for those who are dedicated to using it appropriately and maintaining a logical mindset with a sense of natural fit in today’s world of pain relief.
