What is Red Light Therapy?
If you've searched for a natural way to reduce pain and inflammation, red light therapy, also known as Photobiomodulation Therapy (PBM), may be exactly what you need. This innovative, non-invasive treatment uses specific wavelengths of red and near-infrared light to stimulate your body's natural healing processes.
At Helix Spine & Sport, we offer clinic-grade red light therapy in Oklahoma City to help patients manage chronic pain, accelerate recovery, and restore mobility, all without the need for medications or surgery.
How Does Red Light Therapy Work?
Red light therapy works by targeting your cells' mitochondria, often referred to as the powerhouse of the cell. When red and near-infrared light (typically between 600-1000 nm) penetrates the skin, it enhances ATP (adenosine triphosphate) production, which fuels cellular repair, regeneration, and inflammation control.
Think of red light as a natural energy boost for your body at the cellular level, helping you heal from the inside out.
What Conditions Does Red Light Therapy Help With?
At our Oklahoma City chiropractic clinic, we use red light therapy to support healing from a wide range of conditions:
- Chronic and acute back pain
- Arthritis and joint stiffness
- Muscle fatigue and sports injuries
- Tendonitis and ligament damage
- Postworkout recovery
- Skin conditions (acne, scars, wounds)
- Brain fog and fatigue
- Poor circulation and inflammation
Red light therapy is often used alongside chiropractic care, soft tissue therapy, or rehabilitative exercises to enhance your results and reduce recovery time.
What to Expect During a Session
Sessions are quick and comfortable. You'll lie down in the red light device, which resembles a tanning bed. The light produces a gentle warmth, but no pain or discomfort.
Each session lasts 20 minutes, and there's no downtime; you can return to your day immediately after treatment. Many patients report noticeable pain relief after just a few sessions.
Is Red Light Therapy Safe?
Yes, red light therapy is FDA-cleared, safe, and 100% drug-free. Unlike UV light, red and near-infrared light won't damage skin or tissue.
It's so safe that it's used in medical practices, sports performance clinics, and even NASA-supported studies. We've successfully used PBM therapy at Helix Spine & Sport in Oklahoma City to help athletes, seniors, and everyone in between get back to feeling their best.
Why Choose Helix Spine & Sport for Red Light Therapy in Oklahoma City?
Many at-home red light devices lack the power or precision of a professional-grade setup. At Helix Spine & Sport, we use clinic-grade red light panels and protocols to ensure you receive the full therapeutic benefit safely and effectively.
As a sports-focused chiropractic clinic, we specialize in functional treatments that go beyond traditional adjustments. Whether you’re recovering from an injury or dealing with long-term pain, we’ll create a custom care plan that may include red light therapy for faster, drug-free healing.
