The Alaskan winter is long and dark, which can worsen pain symptoms and leave you lagging in terms of your daily energy levels. You may even notice that you heal more slowly during the winter months. As winter approaches, it’s a great time to review the cutting-edge medical treatments available to help you through our dark season, including red light therapy.
Red light therapy is increasingly popular as a non-invasive treatment to promote healing and encourage cellular activity. At Alpenglow Pain & Wellness of Anchorage, Alaska, Dr. Nichelle Renk provides medical-grade red light therapy, offering more effective results than at-home red light options.
If you’re concerned about pain management, collagen or skin issues, or healing and recovery this autumn, you should know more about this promising therapy.
The different wavelengths of colored light produce unique impacts on your body. Medically targeted red and near-infrared light frequencies produce therapeutic results that help with full-body wellness and recovery.
As specific wavelengths of light enter your body, you’re gently stimulated at a cellular level. Your cells, and especially the mitochondria found within your cells, increase activity in response to red light treatment.
At Alpenglow Pain & Wellness, we use the MitoPRO Commercial X Series for advanced red and near-infrared light therapy treatment. We offer treatment in the following optimized wavelengths:
Each of these precision wavelengths penetrates your body to a different depth, encouraging new cellular production, increased circulation, and renewed collagen development.
There are many reasons why you might incorporate medical-grade red light therapy into your recovery or wellness care routine. You might be recovering from an injury or managing a degenerative condition like arthritis. Red light therapy improves your skin condition and even your muscles’ performance. This treatment might even be part of your workout or beauty routine.
We can target your treatment toward specific health issues, or provide full-body treatment with a blend of red and near-infrared light wavelengths for overall therapeutic results. Each treatment takes just 10 minutes to complete, and the therapy is non-invasive and completely pain-free. You won’t need any downtime after your relaxing care appointment.
The MitoPRO Commercial X Series is quiet and flicker-free, improving your treatment experience. You stand between two red light panels during treatment, with protective eyewear for your comfort. Many patients report feeling a sensation of gentle warmth during the treatment session.
If you could use therapeutic support with muscle or joint pain, muscle performance, circulatory performance, skin health and collagen production, or increased energy this winter, give red light therapy a try. Your first red light therapy session at Alpenglow Pain & Wellness is complimentary, letting you explore this exciting wellness option risk-free.
We offer red light therapy sessions every Friday. Call or text us at (907) 677-7246 to schedule your first session, or book with our online tool today.
