We now offer Red Light Therapy as part of our services. A brief description of what it is and does is below: Within our cells, we have small structures called mitochondria. Much like the photosynthesis process in plants, these structures soak up light and convert its energy into cellular fuel. When red light shines through the body, it interacts with the mitochondria, stimulating the production of Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP), which is the primary energy currency in our bodies. So, increased ATP production means there’s more energy within each cell. A cell with high energy is better able to perform its specialized functions, repair itself, and replicate. This process stimulates collagen production, improves blood circulation, and reduces inflammation, causing a ripple effect that enhances overall health and contributes to faster healing. Due to its penetration range, red light is used in deep tissue treatments to promote muscle recovery, boost skin rejuvenation, and relieve pain, improving general well-being and physical performance. Red Light Therapy can be used to help a wide variety of conditions. You can check with Dr. Welker to see if Red Light Therapy is right for you.
