Red Light Therapy in Traverse City MI

Photobiomodulation (PBM) therapy, also known as red light therapy, is a non-invasive treatment that uses specific wavelengths of red and near-infrared light to stimulate the body’s natural healing processes at a cellular level. When the light penetrates your skin, it helps boost cellular energy (ATP production), reduce inflammation, improve circulation, and accelerate tissue repair. PBM therapy is completely painless, drug-free, and has been clinically shown to support relief from pain, inflammation, and a variety of health concerns—all while promoting overall wellness.

Photobiomodulation Therapy works by delivering specific wavelengths of red and near-infrared light deep into your body’s tissues. These wavelengths are absorbed by your cells, particularly the mitochondria—the "powerhouses" of your cells—which boosts the production of ATP (adenosine triphosphate), your body’s main energy source.

This increase in cellular energy helps reduce inflammation, improve blood flow, increase metabolism, and improve skin health. As a result, PBM therapy can relieve pain, speed up tissue repair, reduce muscle soreness, and promote overall better function—all without drugs, heat, or invasive procedures.

Photobiomodulation Therapy (PBMT) is a safe, non-invasive, and drug-free treatment that works at the cellular level to reduce inflammation, promote healing, and relieve pain. It’s been effectively used for a wide range of conditions and wellness goals, including:

For Athletes & Performance:

• Faster recovery times, leading to less fatigue
• Improved endurance—run faster and longer
• Enhanced strength—lift heavier and hit benchmarks sooner
• Quicker recovery from injuries
• For Musculoskeletal Conditions:
• Arthritis relief
• Reduced muscle soreness
• Joint pain and stiffness improvement

For Inflammatory Conditions:

• Fibromyalgia symptom relief
• Chronic fatigue reduction
• Support for rheumatoid and psoriatic arthritis

For Other Painful or Chronic Conditions:

• Neuropathy pain management
• Shingles-related pain relief
• Improved circulation

For Weight Loss:

• Acceleration of visceral fat loss

Photobiomodulation Therapy is a relaxing, painless experience. During your session, you’ll simply lie or sit comfortably while the red and near-infrared light surrounds your body. Most people feel a gentle warmth from the light panels, but there’s no heat, vibration, or discomfort involved.

Many patients report feeling a sense of relaxation during the session, and some even feel an immediate reduction in pain or tension. After treatment, it's common to feel more energized, with less stiffness and soreness. Some notice benefits right away, while others experience gradual improvements over several sessions as the therapy promotes healing at the cellular level.

There are no side effects or downtime—just natural, effective healing.

Every person’s condition is unique, therefore their treatment is as well. There are however some general rules of thumb that apply.

• For most people it is recommended 3-4x/week for a few weeks and then reduce from there until your goals are met. It’s most common to then reduce to 1x/week for maintenance and wellness.

Photobiomodulation Therapy (PBMT) is backed by extensive scientific research. To date, over 550 Randomized Controlled Trials (RCTs) and more than 4,000 laboratory studies have been published on the use of PBM devices. This therapy is widely accepted and utilized in thousands of clinics, hospitals, and elite sports facilities across more than 70 countries.

The strongest scientific evidence supports PBMT for treating musculoskeletal pain and dysfunction, but ongoing research continues to explore its effectiveness for a wide range of other conditions. On average, about 40 new research papers on PBMT are published every month, highlighting the growing interest and validation in the medical and scientific communities.
