Red Light Therapy Centennial, CO
- Non-Invasive Light Therapy
- Supports Cellular Recovery
- No Downtime
Red Light Therapy with Dr. Tony Nicholas at Axis Health & Wellness in Centennial, CO is an excellent alternative to traditional treatment like medications or alternating heat and ice which only relieve symptoms for a short time. Our Red Light Therapy addresses the cause of your pain rather than just numbing the pain, itself. We can use it on its own and combine it with other treatments that Dr. Tony Nicholas sees fit.
What Is Red Light Therapy?
Red Light Therapy is a non-invasive procedure which sends light waves into damaged soft tissue such as the muscles, tendons, and nerves. It’s slightly different from infrared therapy which goes deeper into the tissue. Red Light Therapy stays surface level while still addressing the core problems. This treatment does not hurt and you won’t feel any heat from it.
How Does Red Light Therapy in Centennial, CO Work?
Our Red Light Therapy treatment in Centennial works through a process called photobiomodulation. Simply put, this process sends light waves into damaged tissue, providing necessary energy for the body’s own repair mechanisms to kick in. Rather than addresses only the symptoms, Red Light Therapy actively helps your body increase blood flow to the affected area. Blood contains nutrients needed for the tissue to regenerate. Damaged tissue breaks down during treatment and your brain signals it to rebuild itself.
Conditions We Treat With Red Light Therapy
Red Light Therapy is a key part of our three-leg Neuropathy Treatment. We provide this alongside electrical stimulation in the office. Other conditions we treat with Red Light Therapy include:
- Plantar fasciitis and heel inflammation
- Arthritis
- Other muscle inflammation
- Numbness and tingling
- Post-injury swelling
It is important to let us know if you are pregnant or have light sensitivity. These conditions don’t block you from receiving treatment but Dr. Tony Nicholas will need to plan around it.
What To Expect At Your First Red Light Therapy Treatment In Centennial, CO
Your first appointment with us will be longer than the rest. You’ll be with us for about 60 to 90 minutes. During the first appointment, we’ll talk about your symptoms, any causes that you may know of, and your treatment goals. If necessary, Dr. Tony Nicholas will also order x-rays as part of his initial exam.
Depending on what you’re being treated for, the appointment length varies. For instance, Neuropathy Treatment is mostly done at home. Red Light Therapy sessions, themselves, are short. We use the light for about 30 to 60 seconds in each area.
“It is a short, very small, compact unit called the TheraRay that we can get great results with in just 30 to 60 seconds on each area. There are really no contraindications for it. Nobody necessarily has to skip it.”
