An application for a heat and light emitting pad has an array of light and heat emitting devices such as LEDS mounted on a circuit board and held within a sponge material. A controller provides a controlled amount of power to the LEDS such that the LEDS emit a therapeutic amount of heat and light for the treatment of pain. The heat and light emitting pad is a thin sheet for insertion between a person and a surface on which that person rests.
