Red Light Therapy at Onsite Health
Gentle, Targeted Care for Nerve Health
Red light therapy uses specific wavelengths of light, typically between 630 and 850 nanometers, to penetrate the skin and stimulate cellular activity. Unlike UV, red and near-infrared light is non-damaging, painless, and considered harmless for most people.
Sessions are comfortable and non-invasive—you simply relax while the light does its work, and there is no downtime afterward. At Onsite Health, we may recommend this therapy alongside physiotherapy and other treatments to help promote nerve function and support recovery in conditions such as neuropathy.
How It Works and How We Use It
The light stimulates the mitochondria within cells, boosting ATP production, which is the body’s cellular energy source. This process may help reduce oxidative stress, improve circulation, and encourage tissue repair. For those with neuropathy, it may also help ease symptoms such as numbness, tingling, burning sensations, or weakness by improving blood flow and supporting healthier nerve activity over time.
Sessions are typically brief, lasting about 10-20 minutes per area, and may be included in a broader rehabilitation program.
When It May Be Used
This modality may be included in treatment plans for:
- Diabetic peripheral neuropathy
- Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy
- Carpal tunnel syndrome
- Sciatic or radicular pain
- Other nerve-related concerns
Its role is often supportive, helping to create the right environment for recovery when combined with active therapies. We integrate this therapy selectively, tailoring its use based on your specific diagnosis, symptom severity, and how you respond to other treatments. By combining it with hands-on physiotherapy, movement-based rehabilitation, and lifestyle guidance, we aim to address both the symptoms and contributing factors to your nerve health.
