Red Light Therapy, also known as Photobiomodulation Therapy (PBM Therapy), is an evidence-based, holistic, non-invasive, and painless treatment for a variety of health conditions. It is used to:

• reduce inflammation

• relieve acute and chronic pain

• increase local blood circulation

• improve the body’s healing process

These effects have been tested in over 700 randomized clinical trials and thousands of laboratory studies and published in many leading journals including The Lancet, BMJ, Nature, PNAS, Spine, Muscle and Nerve, Pain, and Stroke.

Red Light Therapy can be used for:

• acute and chronic pain and inflammation

• arthritis and joint pain

• back and neck pain

• autoimmune conditions

• chronic fatigue

• headaches

• concussions

• joint replacements

• post-surgical healing

• nerve pain

• neuropathy

• neurodegenerative disease

• skin conditions

• burns and scars

• anti-aging and collagen production

In addition to helping the body’s healing process, improving circulation, and reducing pain and inflammation, other documented benefits are:

• reduced stress and increased serotonin and dopamine levels

• improved sleep

• improved energy

• improved fat metabolism

• faster post-exercise recovery

Like plants, our cells need light to thrive. The research shows that specific wavelengths of red and near infrared light can have powerful healing effects in the body’s cells. Red Light Therapy penetrates deep into the cells and activates the mitochondria (predominantly a protein called cytochrome c oxidase)--the energy generators of the cells.

When the correct intensity and treatment times are used, Red Light Therapy reduces oxidative stress and increases energy production in the cells (specifically a molecule called ATP), which encourages the body’s natural healing process. This improves cell metabolism and reduces inflammation.

Stress, especially when it is prolonged, impacts your body in many ways. More stress hormones are released as part of the body’s ‘fight, flight, or freeze’ response which can adversely affect your health. Oxidative stress happens in the body’s cells when free radicals and antioxidants are out of balance. Oxidative stress damages protein, fatty tissue, and even DNA within the body, which can contribute to illness, aging, and disease. Red Light Therapy can help with stress by reducing oxidative stress in the cells, decreasing inflammation, and promoting healing in the body. It can also modulate the activity of certain hormones and neurotransmitters that affect mood and cognition.
