FRANKLIN, Tenn. (WSMV) – Red light therapy is showing up at gyms, <a href="https://todaytrendnews7.com/ascend-wellness-teamsters-win-biggest-cannabis-strike-in-u-s-history/” title=”Ascend Wellness Teamsters Win Biggest Cannabis Strike in U.S. History”>wellness centers and in homes — and one chiropractor and his wife say adding a red light therapy bed to their practice has produced substantial results
Red light therapy uses red and infrared rays to penetrate the skin and heal at a cellular level. The treatment was first developed by NASA for astronaut health in space
According to proponents, red light therapy has been shown to improve energy and memory, reduce workout recovery time, help with sleep and wound healing, regrow hair and offer anti-aging benefits for the skin
Dr. Phillip Parkinson, a chiropractor, and his wife Joanna now offer red light therapy at Sozo Wellness as part of a broader approach to helping the body heal itself
“The simple things are the things that make the biggest change,” Dr. Parkinson said. “God designed and created our body to be able to heal, to regenerate and to be able to detox.”
Joanna Parkinson said the therapy has shown results across a range of patients
“I love red light therapy because it helps to boost mitochondria,” she said. “Athletes come in after a workout and they get better results. It helps with post-partum women, even after surgery.”
Red light therapy memberships are available on a monthly basis at wellness centers. At-home devices are also an option. Consumers looking to purchase a home device should look for one that includes both red and infrared light and has been cleared by the FDA
