The Power of Red Light Therapy
Can’t stop, won’t stop…..talking about medical grade red light therapy!
Since we began providing medical grade red light therapy at our practice in October 2024, we’ve been hearing amazing success stories from our patients.
Patients have expressed a variety of benefits after using our red light therapy, from feeling more focused and less anxious to experiencing better gut health and reduced inflammation. Others have said it helps manage their autoimmune disease, eased perimenopause symptoms, and promoted weight loss and clearer skin.
These life-changing and health-boosting benefits are exactly what we envisioned when we set out to bring medical grade red light therapy to Turning Point Wellness Center.
We believe in the power of red light and are ecstatic that so many of you were eager to jump on board with us.
What Our Patients Are Saying
“The red light therapy has been so good for me. I am 46 and going through perimenopause. After doing four sessions in the red light therapy bed, I feel lighter, have more energy and my mind is no longer clouded – it even freed me from a hormonal migraine. My days at work are better and I am sleeping sound at night waking up refreshed! I am so thankful for this therapy and all the benefits from it!”
–Turning Point Patient
“Red light therapy was recommended to me in my hair analysis results for detoxification of heavy metals, so I was excited to give it a try. A 15 minute session in the bed makes me feel more focused and grounded. I have more energy and am hopeful that long-term use will result in changes on my next hair analysis. I also highly recommend both the vibration plate and PEMF mat. After 10 minutes on the vibration plate I feel less bloated and the PEMF mat is the perfect way to stretch out and relax. I always feel so refreshed and pampered when I leave Turning Point!”
–Turning Point Patient, Waterloo
“I was fighting a Crohn's flare up when Turning Point got the new red light therapy bed. I was driving over to St. Louis for weekly IV infusions and decided to give red light a try since it was available right here in town. During the first session I could really feel the heat in my abdomen. It was obvious that the therapy was working! I went two times per week for the first two weeks then cut back to once a week. I truly believe that red light therapy, combined with dietary changes and medication, helped me combat a major flare. This is a game changer for those of us with chronic disease!”
-Turning Point Patient, Red Bud
The Buzz About Medical Grade Red Light Therapy
We’re not the only ones talking about red light therapy. It seems like devices using red lights are showing up everywhere.
The health and beauty industries have definitely jumped on the red light bandwagon. After our extensive research, we can safely say, this type of therapy - especially when provided with medical grade equipment - is much more than a fad.
Red light therapy is a scientifically proven tool to help bodies heal and improve cellular function. However, it is important to understand that not all red light devices are created equal.
When we decided to invest in a red light bed, we set out to find the best on the market so our patients would experience maximum results.
Exceptional Quality, Exceptional Results
The doctors at Turning Point Wellness Center spent months researching, trying out, and shopping for the best medical grade red light therapy available.
‘Medical grade’ is a classification given to materials that meet FDA standards for safety, quality, and efficacy for medical use. Consumer-grade devices, such as those made for home use, are not subjected to the same criteria and do not have to be certified by the FDA.
Medical grade red light devices are used under the supervision of trained healthcare professionals. The red light therapy bed at Turning Point Wellness Center was manufactured and sold by Red Light Wellness out of St. Louis. Red Light Wellness provided our staff with specialized training to effectively and safely use their red light bed.
Turning Point’s bed is equipped with safety features like automatic shutoff, overheat protection, and timers to automatically set session duration. These modern features ensure the safety of our patients during sessions.
In addition to safety features, medical grade beds are much more powerful and allow much more customization for each patient's needs.
Follow the Numbers
When choosing red light therapy, there are many factors to consider. From wattage, wavelengths, and more, here’s a look at some of the numbers that helped us choose Red Light Wellness beds.
- Space: Our bed provides ample room for a user to lay down, relax, and experience full body benefits.
- Coverage: Our 360 bed sends healing red lights to all areas of the body. We even have a foot plate and head plate at either end of the bed to make sure that our patients are fully covered.
- Wattage: Our unit has 3200 LEDs, delivering over 9600 watts of power.
Wavelengths: Red and near-infrared light occupy the “long end” of the visible spectrum with wavelengths between 630nm-940nm. This light is effective for use on the skin's surface and can penetrate up to two inches into the body.
All the Extras
Turning Point also has two additional devices that are welcome additions to our practice.
First is a commercial grade vibration plate. This is available to every patient who utilizes our red light bed.
Vibration is a wonderful tool to increase circulation, reduce inflammation, build muscle, strengthen bones, and reduce water retention. Vibration plates are not new, but we find it to be a perfect compliment to red light therapy.
The other is an OMI PADS PEMF mat with eight copper magnetic induction coils. PEMF (Pulsed Electromagnetic Field), helps to stimulate cellular activity and promote cellular regeneration and repair.
PEMF therapy is used in conjunction with other forms of chiropractic care to promote treatment of injuries, chronic pain, depression, diabetes, insomnia, anxiety, and aiding in overall rehabilitation.
PEMF sessions are available in 15 minute increments for an additional fee.
