Red Light Therapy
At Kestner Health & Wellness, red light therapy is part of our root-cause, whole-body approach to healing - Above Down, Inside Out.
True Rest and Recovery
Every red light therapy session at Kestner Health & Wellness takes place in a private, relaxing suite designed to help your body actually receive the benefits of the light.
Soft essential oil aromatherapy, calming delta-wave music, and low lighting create an environment where your nervous system can shift into rest-and-repair mode while your cells do their work.
What Is Red Light Therapy?
Red light therapy (also called photobiomodulation) uses specific wavelengths of light to stimulate your cells' mitochondria - the “powerhouse” that produces cellular energy (ATP). More energy at the cellular level means faster repair, reduced inflammation, and improved function throughout the body.
660nm (Visible Red Light)
Works closer to the skin's surface - supporting collagen production, skin tone, and surface-level healing.
850nm (Near-Infrared Light)
Penetrates more deeply into muscle, joint, and connective tissue - supporting circulation, deeper tissue repair, and inflammation reduction.
"Our system uses a dual-wavelength combination. Used together, the two wavelengths work in layers, addressing both surface and deep-tissue needs in a single session."
Benefits of Red Light Therapy
- Reduces inflammation and joint/muscle pain
- Speeds muscle recovery and reduces post-workout soreness
- Improves circulation and oxygen delivery to tissue
- Stimulates collagen production for healthier, firmer-looking skin
- Supports faster healing of wounds, scars, and skin irritation
- Boosts cellular energy (ATP) production for whole-body repair
- Supports joint mobility and comfort
- Promotes relaxation and better sleep quality
- Supports mood and overall sense of well-being
- Complements the body's natural healing and recovery processes
Weight Loss & Body Contouring
Red light therapy is often used as part of a body contouring and metabolic support program. The light stimulates fat cells, encouraging the release of stored fat for the body to use as energy, while also supporting circulation and reducing inflammation that can slow metabolic function.
It works best as a complement to a healthy diet, movement, and an active lifestyle - not as a stand-alone fix - and is a great option for patients looking to support their weight loss goals alongside their chiropractic care plan.
Spinal Correction
Red light therapy pairs naturally with chiropractic adjustments. By reducing inflammation and relaxing the muscles surrounding the spine, it helps the body respond more readily to adjustments and may support the tissue healing needed to help spinal corrections hold between visits.
Many of our patients use red light therapy immediately before or after their chiropractic sessions as part of a complete spinal correction plan.

Red light therapy is a wellness and complementary care modality. Individual results vary, and it should be used alongside - not as a replacement for - the guidance of your chiropractor, physician, or orthodontist.
