At Frederick Chiropractic Wellness Center, we know how chronic pain, inflammation, and even neuropathy can disrupt your life. Whether it’s tendinitis, muscle pain, arthritis, or the effects of aging, these challenges can prevent you from living the active lifestyle you deserve. That’s why we offer red light therapy, a safe and innovative solution that promotes natural healing and relief.
Why Red Light Therapy?
Red light therapy is a cutting-edge, non-invasive treatment that uses specific wavelengths of red and near-infrared light to penetrate deeply into your tissues, encouraging your cells to heal from within. Unlike pain medications that merely mask symptoms, red light therapy addresses the root causes of pain and inflammation. It has been clinically proven to relieve a variety of conditions like tendinitis, muscle pain, arthritis, and even neuropathy, all while promoting anti-aging benefits.
The Science Behind Red Light Therapy
When red and near-infrared light is absorbed by your cells, it stimulates the production of ATP (adenosine triphosphate), your cells’ energy source. This boost in energy enhances your body’s ability to repair damaged tissues, reduce inflammation, and improve circulation, delivering more oxygen and nutrients to the affected areas.
Here’s how red light therapy can help specific conditions:
- Tendinitis: Inflammation of the tendons is painful and can be slow to heal. Red light therapy accelerates the healing process by reducing inflammation and improving circulation, making it an excellent treatment for conditions including tennis elbow, plantar fasciitis, or tendonitis.
- Muscle Pain: Whether you’re recovering from a workout or dealing with a chronic injury, red light therapy helps alleviate muscle soreness and speeds up recovery.
- Arthritis: For those suffering from arthritis, red light therapy can help reduce joint inflammation and pain, improve mobility, and offer lasting relief without needing medication.
- Neuropathy: Neuropathy, often characterized by nerve pain, numbness, or tingling, can be difficult to manage. Red light therapy helps stimulate blood flow to the nerves, improving function and reducing pain and discomfort in conditions like diabetic neuropathy or nerve damage.
- Anti-Aging: Red light therapy can also have cosmetic benefits. It promotes collagen production, which reduces the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and age spots, giving you healthier, more youthful-looking skin.
What to Expect from a Session
Your red light therapy session at Frederick Chiropractic Wellness Center is quick, relaxing, and pain-free. Light is applied to the affected area for about 15-20 minutes during the treatment. Many patients notice reduced pain after just one session, and consistent treatments offer the best long-term results.

Whether you’re looking to relieve pain, reduce inflammation, improve neuropathy symptoms, or even turn back the clock on aging, red light therapy is a natural, effective option. It’s a drug-free, non-invasive way to help your body heal itself from the inside out.
