Red Light Therapy

Red light therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses low-level red light wavelengths to penetrate the skin and stimulate healing in your muscles, joints, and tissues. The red light helps your cells produce more energy, which leads to faster healing and reduced inflammation. This therapy is widely used to treat pain, improve skin health, and aid in recovery from injuries.

At Tru Health Physical Therapy, we offer red light therapy as part of our comprehensive approach to helping you feel better and recover faster. It’s safe, effective, and can be a great addition to your treatment plan.

Benefits of Red Light Therapy

Pain Relief

Red light therapy helps reduce pain by decreasing inflammation and soothing sore muscles and joints. It’s a great option for anyone dealing with chronic pain or recovering from an injury.

Faster Healing

The light stimulates cell regeneration, which speeds up tissue repair and helps injuries heal more quickly.

Improved Skin Health

Red light therapy promotes collagen production, helping to reduce scars, wrinkles, and other skin issues.

Reduced Inflammation

Red light helps to lower swelling in muscles and joints, making it an excellent choice for those with arthritis, tendinitis, or other inflammatory conditions.

How Red Light Therapy is Performed

At Tru Health, our red light therapy sessions are designed to be comfortable and relaxing. During a session, a specialized device emits red light that is applied to the targeted area of your body. The light penetrates your skin without causing any pain, and you’ll simply feel a gentle warmth. Each session typically lasts around 20 to 30 minutes, depending on the area being treated.

Our trained professionals ensure that every treatment is safe and effective. Red light therapy is completely non-invasive, so there’s no downtime required. The treatment can be customized to meet your specific needs, whether you’re looking to reduce pain, speed up healing, or improve skin health.

Real Results, Real People

“Honestly some of the best people I know. I’ve never seen a PT before, but coming in to deal with some military injuries has been transformational. After some knee and IT band work, I am back training for my 50 miler, squatting over 250, and feel like myself. Affordable with insurance. Highly recommend.”

“James is knowledgeable, encouraging, helps keep my mom motivated, and the exercises he gives her both pre and post surgery have made her back fusion recovery so much easier on her — both body and mind. I highly recommend James for any injury or surgical recovery.”

“Went to James for a bulged disk in my lower back for about 6 weeks, he worked his magic and showed me how to strengthen the muscles around it along with stretching and I haven’t had any issues since. He is very involved and knows what I need, I don’t feel like just another patient with him. Would recommend him to anyone.”
