Red Light Therapy vs. Level IV Laser Therapy
Level 4 Laser Therapy (also known as High-Level Laser Therapy or Cold Laser Therapy) involves using a high intensity laser that emits light at specific wavelengths to penetrate deep into tissues. The "Level 4" classification refers to the power output of the laser, which is significantly higher than the low level lasers used in other types of therapy. This type of laser therapy is primarily used for more targeted, intense treatments for sprains, strains, ligament tears, carpel tunnel, nerve pain, torn discs, TMJ pain, acute injury.
​
Red Light Therapy (RLT) involves the use of low wavelength red or near-infrared light (typically between 600 to 1000 nanometers) to penetrate the skin and stimulate cells, improving various biological processes. This therapy helps with pain management, skin rejuvenation, muscle recovery, and more. Infrared saunas use infrared light to directly heat the body, whereas traditional saunas heat the surrounding air.
Cupping Therapy:
what is cupping for?
Best way to describe cupping is as a different method of stretching and releasing tight muscles. When working the soft tissue, like in massage or during your chiropractic visits, the muscle is usually pushed onto the body, whereas with cupping its lifted away. That allows more blood flow to the area and stretches the muscle fibers in a different way than usual.
So what are the other benefits?
It brings fresh, nutrient-rich blood to tight or injured areas to help them recover faster.
It helps stubborn tight muscles release in a way hands alone often can’t.
Chronic tightness can cause the fascia to stick down.
Cupping gently separates layers of soft tissue, restoring mobility.
​
Overall: Cupping helps loosen tight muscles, improve blood flow, reduce inflammation, decrease pain, and speed healing. It’s a gentle way to release tension and restore motion.
Compression Therapy
A Powerful Tool for Recovery and Wellness
​Compression therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses controlled pressure to help improve circulation, reduce swelling, and promote overall healing. It's widely used by athletes, individuals with chronic conditions, and those simply seeking to enhance their wellness routine. Whether you're recovering from an injury, dealing with poor circulation, or just looking to give your body a little extra care, compression therapy can offer a variety of benefits.
​
Benefits:
-
Improved Circulation
-
Reduction in Swelling and Edema Swelling (edema) often occurs as a result of injury, surgery, or chronic conditions like varicose veins.
-
Faster Muscle Recovery The gentle pressure helps flush out waste products like lactic acid that accumulate during physical activity. This process helps reduce muscle soreness and fatigue, leading to faster recovery times.
-
Pain Relief By promoting circulation and reducing inflammation, compression therapy can help alleviate pain in muscles and joints. It is often used to manage chronic pain conditions such as arthritis, tendonitis, and fibromyalgia.
-
Enhanced Lymphatic Drainage The lymphatic system plays a crucial role in the body’s immune response and detoxification process. Compression therapy supports lymphatic flow by applying pressure to the body, which can help the system more effectively remove toxins, excess fluid, and waste products.
-
Stress Reduction The gentle, consistent pressure applied during compression therapy can provide a sense of relaxation and comfort, similar to a gentle massage.

Contraindications:
it is important to consult with your healthcare provider if you have conditions such as deep vein thrombosis (DVT), severe heart disease, or skin conditions that might be aggravated by compression.
