Red Light Therapy in Sioux Falls

Red light therapy, also called photobiomodulation, exposes the skin to low levels of light. Research suggests this light can be absorbed by cells and may influence how they function. Studies on recovery and comfort are promising but mixed, so results vary. At Moveology 605 in Sioux Falls, red light therapy may be a part of your treatment plan at our clinic, not a cure.

No. Red light therapy is noninvasive and is generally described as comfortable. Most people feel little more than gentle warmth on the skin. There are no needles and nothing touches the body with pressure. If anything feels uncomfortable during a session, tell our team so we can adjust or stop the treatment.

Session length varies depending on the treatment and your individualized care plan. Our team will explain what to expect before your appointment. We do not list a standard time because the right session depends on your evaluation, the area being treated and the recommendation from your provider.

There is no single number that fits everyone. Research on photobiomodulation often involves repeated sessions, but the right plan depends on your goals, your evaluation and how you respond. Your provider will discuss recommendations with you, check your progress and adjust your plan when needed. We will not promise a specific timeline for results.

Both are forms of low-level light studied in photobiomodulation. In general terms, visible red light is absorbed closer to the skin's surface, while near infrared light is invisible to the eye and is generally thought to reach somewhat deeper. Our team is happy to answer questions about the therapy during your visit to Moveology 605.

Red light therapy is generally considered low risk when used appropriately, and serious side effects are uncommon in published research. Eye protection is provided during your session, and certain medications or health conditions can make skin more sensitive to light. Whether it is right for you is reviewed with our doctors during your health consultation before any treatment begins.

Yes. Red light therapy may be a part of your treatment plan at our clinic, alongside chiropractic care, when it fits your needs. Research has not established that combining the two produces better outcomes than either alone. Your provider recommends therapies based on your evaluation, symptoms and goals, so each part of your plan has a clear purpose.
