Clinically Proven LED Light Therapy Treatment for
ACNE • ANTI-AGING • PAIN
Enhance Your Next Acupuncture Session with LED Light Therapy
Our primary goal is to help our patients feel better faster! That’s why I’m always looking for the most advanced treatment options and often incorporate modern technology with traditional Chinese medicine.
Recently I tried LED light therapy, a healing technology invented by NASA, and was surprised by the quick results I obtained with my chronic wrist/thumb tendonitis! Even though there’s a lot of clinical research to back its claims there’s nothing like firsthand experience!
Healing my tendonitis had been a slow process because it’s on my right hand and I have to use it all the time! I’ve reinjured it several times just doing everyday activities like cleaning or gardening.
After trying LED light therapy along with my regular treatments I felt significantly better! In fact, after just a few treatments my hand is almost healed. Having a light therapy session after activities that typically reinjure my hand has prevented any new injuries!!
I realized what a powerful duo acupuncture combined with LED light therapy is and we’re now offering this therapy at our clinic.
Read below to learn more about LED light therapy and how it can help you and your family.
What is Light Therapy?
Light Emitting Diode (LED) phototherapy is the application of light energy to tissue to obtain therapeutic benefits. The energy is used to improve cellular performance.
Phototherapy is known for its healing and anti-inflammatory properties and has a variety of applications across many medical fields.
Research has shown that phototherapy can:
- Increase circulation
- Accelerate tissue repair
- Decrease wrinkles
- Decrease inflammation
- Improve skin tone, texture, and clarity
- Ease muscle and joint pain, stiffness, spasm
- Reduce arthritis pain
- Kill the bacteria that causes acne
In fact, this is just the beginning of our understanding of what light therapy can do to help the body heal itself. Preliminary research shows it may also be helpful for those with allergies and a variety of painful conditions.
How Does Light Therapy work?
Specific wavelengths of light energy, when properly absorbed, up-regulates compromised cells. Light energy, or photos, is absorbed by photoreceptors in the mitochondria and used to create adenosine triphosphate (ATP).
The ATP produced then stimulates various metabolic processes which can result in the repair and regeneration of cell and tissue components.
In an article, “Therapeutic Light” – by Chukuku S. Enwemeka, PT, PhD, FACSM, he wrote:
“The resultant clinical benefits include pain relief in conditions such as carpal tunnel syndrome, bursitis, tendonitis, ankle sprain, and temporomandibular joint dysfunction, shoulder and neck pain, arthritis, and post-herpetic neuralgia, as well as tissue repair in cases of diabetic ulcer, venous ulcer, mouth ulcer, fractures, tendon rupture, ligamentous, tear, torn cartilage, and nerve injury.”
What is Celluma?
Celluma is unique and quite unlike any other low-level light therapy device available today. Based on NASA research, Cellumadelivers blue, red and near-infrared light energy simultaneously to safely treat a wide variety of conditions.
Each wavelength is absorbed by different molecules that act as a signaling mechanism for different cellular processes. For example, some reduce inflammation and some kill bacteria, while others enhance localized circulation.
