Light therapy is an effective, non-invasive treatment that can help with mood, seasonal affective disorder, sleep issues and skin conditions. Using specialised devices, we harness the power of light to support the body’s natural healing process.
Photobiomodulation therapy (PBMT) was first developed in the 1960s
PBM devices have been cleared for marketing by the FDA through the Premarket Notification/510(k) process as adjunctive devices for the temporary relief of pain, based on clinical data supporting those claims. There are thousands of case studies on its use, and it has been discussed by organisations including the American Dental Association, the Journal of the American Medical Association, Veterans Affairs and the CDC.
What light therapy is being used for
Chronic pain, inflammation, brain injury, diabetic ulcers, carpal tunnel syndrome, tendonitis, ankle sprain, TMJ dysfunction, shoulder pain, arthritis, post-herpetic neuralgia, tissue repair, venous and mouth ulcers, bone fractures, tendon and ligament injuries, cartilage tears, nerve injury, dental and surgical recovery, beauty and facial treatments, fitness recovery, mental health and addictions support, stroke and brain trauma — and much more.
