Incorporating red light therapy into a comprehensive chiropractic care regimen has demonstrated its effectiveness in managing pain for a multitude of patients. By utilizing a focused light spectrum, red light therapy assists in reducing inflammation, promoting nerve regeneration, and expediting the recovery process for those who are dealing with injuries or chronic pain.

How It Works / Research
While plants use light for photosynthesis, humans have a similar process called photo biostimulation, wherein cells produce ATP (adenosine triphosphate), the fuel that powers life at a cellular level. In red light therapy (aka low level laser therapy/LLLT), red and infrared light emitting diodes stimulate photoacceptors in cell mitochondria, which convert the photons into ATP. This boost of energy increases the circulation and oxygenation in blood vessels; increases cell turnover, collagen and elastin production; micro-repairs tissue damage; and decreases inflammation. Clinically, this is demonstrated by improvement of pain, tissue function, mobility, and scarring. Four types of light wavelengths penetrate 3mm deep, through all 3 layers of skin (epidermis, dermis, hypodermis), reaching joints and muscle. Patented glass head (PerfectioX only) allows for use with creams & serums, and ensures deeper penetration of topical agents. Topical creams travel 0.5-1mm deep on their own; PerfectioX pushes them to 3mm, increasing therapeutic effects.
