Red Light Therapy

a person is comfortable in his red light therapy

Red light therapy is a drug-free, non-invasive treatment used by various professionals, including chiropractors. The therapy uses a low-level wavelength of light to treat different conditions. The red light can penetrate up to 5mm below your skin.

A chiropractor delivers it with a wand or lamp-type equipment that has a unique therapeutic bulb. The bulb emits wavelengths of red light to promote cellular healing and treat soft tissue injuries.

How does red light therapy work?
Red light therapy induces a biochemical reaction in cells that bolsters the mitochondria. A cell’s energy originates from the mitochondria. Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is the energy-carrying molecule in cells.

RLT increases the functioning of mitochondria. This action generates more ATP, which provides sufficient energy for proper cell functioning, regeneration, and repair. Your cells will also have improved circulation, eliminating waste products.
Is RLT different from laser or intense pulsed light therapies?
Unlike laser or intense pulsed light therapies, RLT does not damage the skin surface. The other options cause controlled damage to the skin’s outer layer, inducing tissue repair. RLT stimulates the skin’s regeneration directly, bypassing this step. RLT’s light penetrates up to 5mm below your skin’s surface.
Injuries and health conditions treated with red light therapy
Red light therapy treats these conditions:● Sports, repetitive motion, and car accident injuries.● Wrinkles, skin problems, and anti-aging.● Generalized joint pain and arthritis.● Brain optimization.● Muscle recovery and sports performance.

Benefits of Red Light Therapy

At Injury Health Center in Daytona, Lake Mary, Orlando, and their surrounding areas, we use red light therapy to offer various benefits to our clients.

Pain Management

RLT can stimulate quicker recovery, relieving your pain.

Fast Healing

If you have chronic injuries, this approach can help you heal faster.

Non-Invasive Treatment

Unlike other treatment options, this approach does not cause any damage to result in recovery. A chiropractor will not need needles or harm to your skin. It is also an excellent alternative to surgery.

Drug-free Approach

You will not need needles, tablets, or ointments to get this treatment.
