Light Therapy in Melbourne
Red and near-infrared light therapy bathes your tissue in gentle, precise wavelengths that your cells absorb and use. For patients in Melbourne and across Brevard County dealing with chronic aches, inflammation, or slow-healing injuries, it's a relaxing, drug-free complement to chiropractic care — one that works quietly at the cellular level while you simply rest under the light.
How it works

Health history and goals
Our team reviews your concerns, any prior diagnoses, and current medications to confirm light therapy is a good fit before you begin.

The basics
About light therapy
Red light (roughly 630–700 nm) and near-infrared light (700–1100 nm) penetrate the skin at different depths and are absorbed by mitochondria — the energy-producing centers in your cells. This stimulates the production of ATP (cellular fuel), nudges the body toward a less inflamed state, and supports circulation to the tissue being treated. The goal is tissue that recovers more comfortably and more completely.
Unlike a focused laser beam, light therapy delivers a broad, gentle dose over a wider area — so sessions feel warm and relaxing, not sharp or intense. Because the mechanism is cellular rather than chemical, there is no drug load. It pairs well with chiropractic adjustments, massage therapy, and Shockwave Therapy, helping everything else you're doing land a little better.

What is light therapy?
Light therapy — also called photobiomodulation — uses carefully selected wavelengths of red (roughly 630–700 nm) and near-infrared (700–1100 nm) light to interact with tissue at the cellular level. When these wavelengths reach your mitochondria, they trigger a natural process that boosts ATP production (the fuel your cells run on), helps calm inflammatory signaling, and supports circulation to the tissue being treated.
The aim: tissue that recovers more comfortably, inflammation that settles more completely, and chronic aches that become easier to manage — all without medications, needles, or downtime.
What to expect
Your light therapy session is one of the most relaxing things we offer. After a brief consultation to confirm your goals and the areas we’ll focus on, you’ll rest comfortably while the light-therapy device delivers red and near-infrared light to your body. You’ll feel gentle warmth, or sometimes very little at all. There’s no UV exposure, no discomfort, and no recovery period — you can return to normal activities right away.
We’ll recommend a session plan based on your goals and track how you respond so we can adjust if needed. Light therapy can be combined with your chiropractic adjustment, massage therapy, or Shockwave Therapy as part of the same care plan.
Who it helps
Light therapy works well for a broad range of patients, especially those dealing with:
- Arthritis — helping ease joint inflammation and stiffness in the hands, knees, hips, and spine
- Fibromyalgia — a gentle way to help calm widespread aches
- Sprains and strains — supporting recovery of ligaments, tendons, and muscle tissue
- Knee pain — infrared light is part of our knee-pain approach, alongside PEMF therapy and nutrition support
- Chronic inflammation that hasn’t fully settled despite other care
- Anyone looking for a gentle, drug-free complement to their existing chiropractic care plan
If you’re not sure whether light therapy is right for your situation, we’ll give you an honest answer based on your consultation — not a sales pitch.

What it helps
Conditions we treat with light therapy
What is light therapy?+
Light therapy — also called photobiomodulation — uses specific red and near-infrared wavelengths to stimulate cellular energy production, help reduce inflammation, and support tissue healing. It is drug-free, non-invasive, and painless.
Does light therapy hurt?+
No. Most patients describe it as pleasantly warm and relaxing. There is no UV light and no discomfort during a session.
How many sessions will I need?+
Your plan is personalized based on your goals and needs. During your consultation, we'll recommend a number of sessions and explain what to expect. Individual results vary.
What conditions does light therapy help?+
We most often use it to support patients with arthritis, fibromyalgia, sprains and strains, knee pain, and recovery from overuse. It also pairs well with chiropractic care, massage therapy, and Shockwave Therapy.
Is light therapy safe?+
Red and near-infrared light therapy is gentle and non-invasive, and it is appropriate for most people. We screen for situations where it may not be a good fit — such as photosensitizing medications or certain medical conditions — before you start.
How is light therapy different from laser therapy?+
Laser therapy delivers a concentrated beam to a very specific point. Light therapy delivers a broader, lower-intensity dose over a wider area — making it well suited to larger body regions and a more relaxing, whole-body approach to recovery.
What does light therapy cost?+
Ask our office about current pricing for light therapy sessions. We're happy to walk you through costs before you begin.
What should I wear during a session?+
Comfortable clothing is fine, and our team will explain exactly how to prepare for your session so you feel at ease.
How soon will I notice a difference?+
Some people notice reduced soreness or easier movement after the first few sessions, while others see progress build over a series of treatments. We'll explain what to expect for your specific goals.
Can I combine light therapy with chiropractic care?+
Yes — that's one of the best ways to use it. Light therapy supports the cellular environment while chiropractic care addresses joint motion, and the two can be included in the same care plan.
