Much like plants convert sunlight into energy through chlorophyll, high-intensity light-emitting diodes (LEDs) use specific, targeted wavelengths of light to stimulate natural biostimulatory effect in human tissues. Research into LED therapy, or phototherapy, has demonstrated its effectiveness in enhancing circulation, accelerating tissue repair, and killing acne-causing bacteria. Additionally, it reduces inflammation, improves the condition of acne-prone skin, and enhances skin tone, texture, and clarity. It also helps to diminish under-eye wrinkles and provides relief from muscle and joint pain, stiffness, spasms, and arthritis-related discomfort.

Research shows that cells can absorb light particles (photons) and convert their energy into adenosine triphosphate (ATP), a form of energy that cells use. This increase in ATP boosts the cells' ability to power various metabolic processes, including the synthesis of DNA, RNA, proteins, enzymes, and other components critical for cell repair and regeneration. It also supports mitosis or cell division and helps restore cellular balance. Essentially, LED phototherapy supplies energy to compromised cells, enhancing their function. For instance, fibroblast cells stimulated by this therapy increase their production of collagen and elastin, improving the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and accelerating wound healing. We also use LED therapy to boost egg health and promote fertility, as well as in peripheral neuropathy patients to stimulate nerve regeneration.

Our specialty infrared mineral lamps feature a unique emission heating plate, which is coated with a proprietary blend of 33 essential minerals, unlike the more typical infrared bulbs. This specialized plate emits a distinct band of far infrared electromagnetic energy when activated. Infrared light therapy offers a plethora of health benefits due to its deep tissue penetration. It's particularly effective in alleviating pain associated with conditions like arthritis, back pain, muscle strains, and joint stiffness, primarily through reducing inflammation and boosting circulation. This enhanced circulation facilitates the faster transport of oxygen and nutrients to injured or troubled areas, speeding up the healing process. Infrared therapy also relaxes muscles, providing relief from discomfort and improving mobility. In the realm of dermatology, it promotes skin health by stimulating collagen production, which can improve skin elasticity and reduce signs of aging, and is beneficial for healing wounds and treating skin conditions such as eczema and psoriasis. Moreover, the increased blood flow and oxygenation aid in detoxification, improving overall health. The therapy also strengthens the immune system by boosting white blood cell production and enhancing the body’s immune response. Additionally, the soothing warmth of infrared light can help reduce stress, improve sleep, and alleviate symptoms of depression and anxiety, contributing to better mental health and clarity. Infrared light therapy is a non-invasive, natural approach that uses the therapeutic properties of infrared wavelengths to support both physical and mental well-being.

Ozone is a molecule that is made up of three oxygen atoms (O3). Ozone therapy is the careful, precise, and controlled administration of ozone to stimulate healing, relieve pain and inflammation, and treat sickness and disease. Laura may recommend ozone therapy to treat chronic sinus and ear infections, long covid, chronic fatigue, respiratory infections, and breathing disorders like asthma. She will apply ozone gas to your skin under a protective covering, known as an ozone sauna, or by applying a solution of ozone directly to the skin. She may also direct ozone gas into your ears or nasal passages to treat ear or sinus issues. Ozone therapy can improve circulation, offer protection from bacteria and viruses, support the immune system, and reduce the imbalance of free radicals and antioxidants.

We integrate LED therapy, ozone therapy, and infrared heat therapy into our acupuncture treatments on an as needed basis. We recommend these therapies to clients who are suffering from chronic pain, inflammation, mobility issues, infertility, long covid, repetitive stress injuries, nerve disorders, sciatica, and more.
