Light Therapy, also known as phototherapy or low-level light therapy (LLLT), involves using specific wavelengths of light to promote healing and wellness. Its origins trace back to the early 20th century when scientists began exploring the therapeutic effects of light on biological tissues. In the 1960s, Hungarian physician Endre Mester discovered that low-level laser light could stimulate hair growth and wound healing in animals, laying the foundation for modern light therapy. Since then, LED and laser technology advancements have made light therapy a safe and effective option in chiropractic care, used to address pain, inflammation, and tissue repair. Light Therapy is effective for a wide range of conditions, including:

Colville, WashingtonThis entire team of people ROCK! Every single person in the office is super friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. I was in a car accident over 12 years ago and have degenerating disks and vertebrae that are trying to fuse together due to the whiplash from the accident. I am on week 5 of a 12 week treatment cycle and I am already feeling a noticeable difference in my neck and back. My headaches are rare and my back and neck are not even close to being as stiff and achy as they were when I first started treatment. If you are looking for a chiropractor who cares to find a solution to end your neck and back problems look no further! Monumental chiropractic is the place for you!! *

Light Therapy uses low-intensity light, typically in the red or near-infrared (600-1000 nm), delivered via LED devices or low-level lasers. The light penetrates the skin to a shallow depth, interacting with cellular components, particularly mitochondria. This interaction boosts ATP production, enhancing cellular energy and promoting repair processes.
The therapy also stimulates nitric oxide release, improving blood flow and reducing inflammation. Treatments are administered using portable devices or panels, with sessions typically lasting 10-20 minutes. The technology is non-thermal, meaning it does not generate heat, making it comfortable and safe for patients.
