What is red light therapy?
Red light therapy (also called photobiomodulation, or red and near-infrared light therapy) uses specific wavelengths of light to support the body’s natural recovery processes. At Insight Chiropractic Health and Wellness we offer full-body sessions on professional LED red light beds. You lie down for it rather than standing in a booth, it takes 30 minutes, and nothing touches you.
Red Light Clinical Science
What red and near-infrared light actually do inside your cells — how the energy pathway works, why dose matters more than intensity, and what the research supports.

What a session is like
- You lie down. Fifteen minutes on your back, fifteen on your front, on a proper treatment bed in a private room. Most places have you stand in a booth or in front of a panel for the whole session, and half an hour on your feet is a strange way to recover from anything. Here you can actually rest. A fair number of people fall asleep.
- Full-body coverage. Each bed is fitted with four PlatinumLED BioMax Pro panels, so your whole body is treated at once — not a small panel you have to keep repositioning.
- Nothing to prepare. No downtime, no recovery. Most patients go straight back to their day.
- Run by our front desk. No appointment with the doctor needed, and you do not have to be an established patient.
What It Costs
Your first session is $30 — half price.
| Price | Per session | |
|---|---|---|
| Single 30-minute session | $60 | $60 |
| 5 sessions | $270 | $54 |
| 10 sessions | $500 | $50 |
Adding it to an Acupuncture session is cheaper: $40. Acupuncture and red light together is $100 on the day, rather than $120 booked separately. It is a natural pairing — you are already lying still and relaxed, so the light session simply follows the needles.
| Add-on | Price | Per session |
|---|---|---|
| 5 add-on sessions | $180 | $36 |
| 10 add-on sessions | $340 | $34 |
We accept cash, check, credit card, and HSA and FSA payments, and the office can provide a superbill to submit to your insurance as an out-of-network provider.
What patients use it for
Red light therapy is commonly used to support:
- Muscle recovery after training or physical work
- Everyday aches, stiffness, and tension
- Skin appearance and tone
- General recovery as part of a whole-body care plan
It pairs well with chiropractic care, Acupuncture, and hyperbaric oxygen therapy — many of our patients build red light into a regular routine alongside those services. Results vary from person to person; we’re happy to talk through whether it’s a good fit for you.
