What is Red Light Therapy?
Red light therapy is a clinically studied, non-invasive treatment that delivers specific wavelengths of red and near-infrared light directly to your tissues.
Unlike UV light – which can damage skin – red and near-infrared wavelengths (typically 630–850nm) penetrate safely into the skin, muscle, and joint tissue. Once absorbed, this light energy is taken up by mitochondria, the energy-producing structures inside your cells.
The result: your cells produce more adenosine triphosphate (ATP) – the fuel your body uses for every healing and repair process it runs.
This is not a new technology. Red light therapy has been studied in thousands of peer-reviewed clinical trials across applications including wound healing, pain management, inflammation reduction, skin health, and neurological recovery. NASA originally researched it to support muscle and tissue repair for astronauts in space.
At Life Balance Wellness, we use professional-grade red light therapy equipment – a step above the consumer devices you’ll find online – to deliver consistent, therapeutic-level doses of light in a safe, supervised setting.
What Red Light Therapy Can Help With
Chronic Pain and Inflammation
Chronic inflammation is one of the most common underlying drivers of pain, fatigue, and slow healing. Red light therapy supports the body's natural anti-inflammatory response at the cellular level, helping to reduce oxidative stress and improve circulation to affected areas.
It's particularly useful for patients who have been dealing with pain for months or years and haven't found lasting relief through medication alone. Many of our patients combine red light therapy with our Functional Medicine program to address inflammation systemically - from the inside out and the outside in at the same time.
Joint Pain and Arthritis
Red light therapy has been studied specifically for osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and general joint degeneration. The light energy supports circulation in the joint tissue, may reduce synovial inflammation, and promotes the repair processes that keep cartilage and connective tissue healthy.
At Life Balance Wellness, we regularly pair red light therapy with Chiropractic Care for patients managing arthritis, overuse injuries, or joint stiffness that limits their mobility. The combination addresses both structural alignment and cellular healing simultaneously.
Muscle Recovery and Sports Injuries
This is one of the most well-researched applications for red light therapy. Clinical studies consistently show that near-infrared light supports faster muscle recovery, reduces delayed-onset muscle soreness (DOMS), and helps athletes return to training sooner after injury or intense effort.
Whether you're a weekend warrior or someone recovering from a sports injury, red light therapy can be layered into your recovery plan alongside Sports Injury rehabilitation and Frequency Specific Microcurrent therapy for compounding results.
Weight Loss Support
Red light therapy is not a weight loss treatment on its own - and we're upfront about that. However, as part of a physician-supervised Medical Weight Loss program, it can support the process by promoting cellular energy production, improving circulation, and reducing inflammation that can interfere with metabolic function.
The Life Balance Wellness Approach
Red light therapy works best when it’s part of a bigger picture – not a standalone service you book at a tanning salon.
At Life Balance Wellness, our team – led by Dr. Alecia Arn, DC, with over 22 years of clinical experience – reviews your health history before recommending red light therapy. We look at what’s driving your pain or health concerns, which other treatments you’re already receiving, and how red light therapy fits into your overall care plan.
This matters because the best outcomes come from combining therapies intelligently. A patient with chronic back pain, for example, might benefit most from chiropractic adjustments to restore structural alignment, Frequency Specific Microcurrent to calm nerve irritation, and red light therapy to support tissue healing between sessions.
We don’t offer red light therapy as a quick-fix add-on. We offer it as one piece of a personalized plan designed around your body and your goals.
What to Expect at Your Red Light Therapy Session
Before your session: Our team will review your intake and discuss your goals. If you’re combining red light therapy with other treatments, we’ll coordinate the order and timing.
During your session: You’ll relax comfortably while the light is applied to the target area. Sessions typically run 10 to 15 minutes. The treatment is completely painless – most patients describe it as warm and deeply relaxing. No needles, no contact, no discomfort.
After your session: You can return to your normal activities immediately. There is no downtime, no recovery period, and nothing you need to avoid.
How many sessions will you need? Most patients start with 2–3 sessions per week for the first several weeks, then transition to a maintenance schedule. Consistency matters – red light therapy is cumulative, meaning results build over time. Some patients notice improvements quickly; others see gradual progress over multiple weeks.
Is Red Light Therapy Right for You?
Red light therapy may be a good fit if you are:
- Dealing with ongoing joint, back, or muscle pain that hasn’t fully resolved with other treatments
- Recovering from a sports injury or surgery and want to support tissue healing
- Experiencing chronic fatigue or low energy despite normal sleep
Looking for a non-invasive skin health treatment - Managing a condition like arthritis, sciatica, or nerve pain
