High-Tech Red Light Therapy in Charlotte
Axiom Chiropractic offers advanced red light therapy using targeted red and near-infrared wavelengths to stimulate cellular healing, reduce inflammation, and accelerate recovery, making it a powerful complement to Gonstead chiropractic care. This non-invasive, drug-free treatment delivers photobiomodulation directly to tissues, boosting mitochondrial function and ATP production for natural healing without downtime.
How Red Light Therapy Works
Red light therapy (RLT), also called photobiomodulation, uses specific wavelengths that penetrate skin and soft tissues to reach cell mitochondria, the energy powerhouses. When absorbed, these photons trigger cytochrome c oxidase, increasing ATP production while reducing oxidative stress and inflammation markers like cytokines.
Clinical research shows RLT improves blood flow, supports collagen synthesis, and enhances tissue repair by promoting fibroblast activity. At Axiom, sessions use medical-grade panels calibrated for optimal therapeutic dosing, ensuring consistent results alongside chiropractic adjustments.
What to Expect During Treatment
Red light therapy sessions at Axiom take place in a comfortable, private treatment area. You’ll relax fully clothed (or with minimal exposure for skin treatments) while medical-grade panels deliver precise wavelengths through the skin. Most patients feel gentle warmth and deep relaxation, no discomfort or recovery time needed.
Treatment frequency is customized to your goals. We’ve found that best results accumulate over multiple sessions.

Perfect Complement to Chiropractic Care
Red light therapy amplifies Gonstead chiropractic results by addressing inflammation and tissue repair at the cellular level while adjustments restore biomechanics. Patients report shorter recovery times between adjustments, reduced soreness, and enhanced mobility gains.
This combination creates a comprehensive healing environment: chiropractic corrects structure and nervous system function while RLT fuels cellular energy and reduces inflammatory barriers to healing. The result is progress toward your health goals with comfortable, synergistic care.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is red light therapy painful or invasive?
Completely painless and non-invasive. Patients feel gentle warmth at most, similar to sitting in sunlight. No needles, drugs, or downtime required.
Can I combine RLT with chiropractic adjustments?
Absolutely, this is our recommended approach. RLT reduces inflammation post-adjustment while chiropractic restores motion, creating more comfortable results.
Are there side effects?
Rare and mild. Some notice temporary redness (like a mild sunburn) that fades within hours. Always safe when used as directed by trained professionals.
Who benefits most from red light therapy?
Anyone with pain, inflammation, poor recovery, skin concerns, or athletic performance goals. Particularly helpful for arthritis, tendonitis, post-surgical healing, and anti-aging.
How is Axiom's equipment different?
We use FDA-cleared, medical-grade panels with calibrated red (660nm) + near-infrared (850nm) wavelengths proven most effective in clinical research, superior to consumer LED masks.
