What is Red Light Therapy?
Red light therapy, also known as photobiomodulation, is a non-invasive therapy that uses specific wavelengths of red and near-infrared light.
Unlike ultraviolet (UV) light, red light therapy does not use the UV wavelengths associated with tanning and sun damage. Instead, red and near-infrared light interact with cells and are being studied for their effects on cellular activity, inflammation, pain and tissue recovery.
One area researchers continue to study is how this light interacts with mitochondria, the structures inside cells involved in energy production. This cellular response may help explain some of the effects being investigated in photobiomodulation research.
Results can vary depending on the condition being addressed, the wavelength and dose used, treatment frequency and individual response. That is why we believe red light therapy should be considered in the context of your overall health rather than promoted as a solution for every condition.
What Red Light Therapy Can Help With
Chronic Pain and Inflammation
Red light therapy may help reduce discomfort and support the body's natural response to inflammation. It can be a useful option for people dealing with ongoing muscle, back, or joint discomfort who are looking for a non-invasive approach to support their care.
Joint Pain and Arthritis
For people dealing with stiff or uncomfortable joints, red light therapy may help support joint comfort and mobility. It can be considered as part of a broader care plan for those who want to stay active and move more comfortably.
Muscle Recovery and Sports Injuries
Red light therapy can support muscle recovery after exercise, physical activity, or strain. By supporting normal cellular processes and circulation, it may help ease post-exercise soreness and help you get back to your routine more comfortably.

The Life Balance Wellness Approach
Red light therapy works best when it is part of a complete treatment plan, not simply a standalone service offered at a tanning salon.
At Life Balance Wellness, our team is led by Dr. Alecia Arn, DC, who has more than 22 years of clinical experience. Before recommending red light therapy, we review your health history, evaluate the underlying cause of your pain or health concerns, consider the treatments you are already receiving, and determine how red light therapy can best support your overall care plan.
This approach matters because the best results often come from combining therapies in the right way. For example, a patient with chronic back pain may benefit from chiropractic adjustments to improve spinal alignment, Frequency Specific Microcurrent to reduce nerve irritation, and red light therapy to support tissue healing between visits.
We do not offer red light therapy as a quick solution or an optional extra. We provide it as part of a personalized treatment plan designed to support your body’s healing process and help you achieve your long term health 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
- Interested in adding a recovery tool to your wellness routine
It is generally not recommended for patients who are pregnant, have active cancer in the treatment area, are taking photosensitizing medications, or have certain light-sensitive conditions. Our team will review your health history before your first session.
How Red Light Therapy Works?
Your body depends on energy at the cellular level to function properly.
Red Light Therapy helps your cells produce more of this energy, allowing tissues to repair and recover faster.
A simple way to think about it is this:
It helps “recharge” your body so it can heal more efficiently.
