When joint pain or injury slows you down, finding a non-invasive solution that promotes healing without the risks of medication or surgery is essential. One of the most promising options today is Red Light Therapy. At Graber Chiropractic Center, we’re proud to offer this advanced therapy to help our patients recover faster and get back to doing what they love.
 

How Red Light Therapy Works

Red light therapy uses low-wavelength red or near-infrared light to penetrate the skin and stimulate cellular activity. When light energy is absorbed by the mitochondria (the powerhouse of the cell) it enhances the production of ATP (adenosine triphosphate), which fuels cellular repair and regeneration.
 

This therapy doesn’t just mask pain; it works at a deeper level to reduce inflammation, improve blood circulation, and speed up tissue repair. It’s particularly beneficial for soft tissue injuries and joint-related issues, making it an excellent tool for sports injuries and post-surgical recovery.
 

Common Joint Injuries Red Light Therapy Can Help Treat

Red light therapy is highly effective in treating a variety of common joint injuries by targeting inflammation and promoting cellular repair. Conditions such as sprains, strains, tendonitis, and bursitis often respond well to this non-invasive treatment. It’s also beneficial for managing arthritis-related joint pain, runner’s knee, rotator cuff injuries, and carpal tunnel syndrome. By stimulating blood flow and accelerating tissue regeneration, red light therapy can help reduce stiffness, pain, and swelling - ultimately improving joint mobility and supporting faster recovery.
 

Benefits of Red Light Therapy for Joint Injuries

• Accelerated Healing: By energizing cells, red light therapy supports faster recovery from joint injuries.

• Reduced Inflammation: It helps calm inflammation in the muscles and joints, reducing pain and swelling.

• Improved Mobility: As inflammation decreases and healing improves, joint function and range of motion often return more quickly.

• Non-Invasive and Drug-Free: This treatment provides a safe alternative to injections, medications, or surgery.

• Supports Chronic Pain Relief: Patients with arthritis or long-standing joint issues often find relief with regular sessions.
   

What to Expect During Treatment

Red light therapy is quick, painless, and requires no downtime. Most sessions last between 10 and 20 minutes. During the treatment, a specialized light-emitting device is applied directly to the skin over the affected joint. The sensation is warm and relaxing, with no discomfort or side effects.
 

A series of treatments is usually recommended for the best results, depending on the severity and type of joint injury. At Graber Chiropractic Center, we customize treatment plans based on your unique needs and recovery goals.
 

Is Red Light Therapy Right for You?

Whether you're recovering from a sports injury, dealing with arthritis, or experiencing chronic joint discomfort, red light therapy may be an ideal addition to your chiropractic care plan. When combined with chiropractic adjustments, therapeutic exercises, and lifestyle guidance, it can help restore mobility and function more effectively than traditional methods alone.
