Low-level Red-Light Therapy, Infrared Therapy or also called “Photobiomodulation” is the application of pads to the skin emitting infrared light/blue for healing purposes. This is a very relaxing, non-invasive healing technique that is used in combination with other therapies or stand alone. This enhances mitochondrial function, reduces stress to tissue, improved anxiety/depression, cognitive function, pain reduction, improved age-related vision loss, wound healing, hormone balancing effect, hair loss, enhanced collagen production, anti-aging effects, and improvement with neurodegenerative disease. The light therapies can penetrate several inches into the body even though the pads are placed comfortably on the skin on any location needed. Most patients who visit our clinic are suffering with chronic pain, fatigue, brain fog, neurological symptoms, and anxiety/depression. Patients commonly report improvement immediately after receiving treatment with reduced pain and stress relief.
Treatment time is 20-60 min depending on need. This can be added onto medical appointment
