Harnessing the Power of Light: An Introduction to Red Light Therapy in Hot Springs

Chiropractic services focused on spinal health and natural pain reliefIn the quest for wellness, science often looks to nature for inspiration. Red Light Therapy, a service now offered at Body In Balance Chiropractic, is a perfect example of this, utilizing specific wavelengths of light to potentially interact with our bodies on a cellular level. This non-invasive modality, also known as photobiomodulation, involves exposing the skin to panels of safe, concentrated red and near-infrared light. Unlike ultraviolet light from the sun, these wavelengths do not damage the skin. Instead, the theory is that they penetrate beneath the surface to be absorbed by mitochondria, the powerhouses within our cells. This absorption may help to stimulate the production of cellular energy, known as ATP.


For the residents of Hot Springs, AR, who lead active lives, supporting the body's natural energy and repair cycles is essential. Dr. James Neil has incorporated Red Light Therapy into his practice as a complementary approach to chiropractic care, aiming to provide a holistic suite of options that support the body’s innate ability to function and restore itself. It's a gentle, quiet process designed to work with your body's own systems, offering a modern approach to well-being.
