Treatment Sessions
How Treatment Works
Photobiomodulation is a gentle, non-invasive therapy that uses specific wavelengths of light to stimulate cellular repair and renewal. During a session at Shakthi Health and Wellness, the targeted light is applied to the skin using specialized devices, delivering energy directly to the cells. This light energy helps reduce inflammation, improve circulation, and activate the body’s natural healing processes.
Patients sit or lie comfortably during treatment, experiencing a soothing and painless warmth in the treated area. The session lasts about 20-30 minutes, depending on the condition being addressed, and requires no downtime or special preparation. Over time, this therapy can alleviate pain, accelerate tissue recovery, and improve overall function, empowering patients to feel healthier and more active.

What is Photobiomodulation?
The History and Science Behind Near Infrared Light for Healing
Photobiomodulation is a treatment that uses red or near-infrared light to help heal injuries or other problem areas in the body. It works with light sources like lasers or LEDs, delivering low-intensity light to improve how cells function.
If the light is too weak, it won’t work, but with the right amount, it activates a natural process in the cells. The light is absorbed by a part of the cell called cytochrome C oxidase, found in the mitochondria. This triggers the production of ATP, which is the energy cells need to do their jobs. By boosting ATP and lowering oxidative stress, photobiomodulation helps the body repair and recover more effectively.
Photobiomodulation has a rich history that began in the 1960s with the discovery of how low-level laser light could stimulate biological processes in living tissue. Endre Mester, a Hungarian physician, is often credited with pioneering this field after observing improved healing in animals exposed to low-powered laser light.
Initially referred to as low-level laser therapy (LLLT), the term evolved to "photobiomodulation" as the technology broadened to include various light sources. Over the decades, research has significantly advanced, showcasing its potential to reduce pain, promote tissue repair, and alleviate inflammation.
Photobiomodulation is performed through the use of a device that is specifically designed for this treatment. The PBM device is placed near or in direct contact with the skin so the light can penetrate the cells and create the photochemical reaction that will kickstart the healing process. Sessions at Shakthi Health and Wellness can be done multiple times a week and there may need to be numerous sessions before there is a noticeable difference.

The Benefits of Photobiomodulation
There are several benefits of photobiomodulation treatment at Shatkhi Health and Wellness, including:
- Better Circulation: Not only does the infrared light of photobiomodulation help heat your body and widen your vessels for better circulation, but the removal of the toxins from your body also permits that circulation to improve. This boost in circulation has a direct effect on many different health conditions that one may be trying to address with an integrative medical treatment plan.
- Faster Recovery: Photobiomodulation encourages your body to activate efficiently and that means that you will have better recovery times after even the most intense workouts. Along with this, you're going to see that your muscles repair and heal faster.
- Higher Energy Levels: The improved blood circulation after photobiomodulation also maximizes your cell’s use of oxygen. This oxygen is converted into a fuel that our body utilizes called ATP. With more ATP in your system, you're going to have a higher level of energy.
- Improved Sleep: The increase in blood circulation after photobiomodulation that causes the reduction in inflammation as well as detoxification of your body allows for stressors to be. The heightened level of relaxation that comes with this treatment can improve your sleep. In fact, results have shown that many who utilize this treatment feel less tired and experience deeper sleep.
- Reduced Inflammation: In everyone's lives, there are many environmental, physical, and emotional stressors encountered on a daily basis. Photobiomodulation treatment helps clear those accumulations leaving behind a detoxified body.
- Supported Immune System: Increased blood flow after photobiomodulation helps promote the detoxification process of stressors in your bloodstream. This inevitably is going to affect your ability to stave off viruses and diseases better. So this treatment often winds up boosting your immune system so that you can live a healthier life.
