What is red light therapy?

Red light therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses specific wavelengths of light. You may also hear it called photobiomodulation.

Different light-based treatments use different devices and settings. Their suitability—and the results people experience—can vary depending on the condition being treated and the treatment approach.

Could it be right for you?

If you have discomfort around a joint or concerns following an injury, the first step is understanding what is causing your symptoms.

At JMJ Family Health, we consider your health history, symptoms and goals before recommending care. That assessment helps determine whether red light therapy belongs in your treatment plan or whether another approach is more appropriate.

Contact our team to discuss the area that is bothering you and arrange the right type of appointment.

What to Expect

Your care begins with a conversation about your concerns and an assessment as appropriate. If red light therapy is recommended, we will explain:

  • What the treatment involves.
  • The proposed schedule and how progress will be assessed.
  • Relevant precautions and what to expect during treatment.
  • Costs and payment arrangements before you begin.

You will have an opportunity to ask questions and decide how you would like to proceed.

Realistic expectations, thoughtful care

Research into light-based treatments for joint conditions is still developing. Some studies suggest potential benefits for pain in certain conditions, but results vary.

Relief of symptoms does not necessarily mean an underlying injury has healed. Red light therapy should not replace an appropriate assessment or other recommended care.

Our approach is to discuss the options with you, set realistic expectations and review how you are responding.

Common questions

Can red light therapy help my joint injury?

That depends on the cause of your symptoms and whether the treatment is appropriate for your condition. An assessment is the best starting point. We cannot promise that red light therapy will heal an injury or produce a particular result.

How many sessions will I need?

There is no single schedule that suits everyone. If treatment is recommended, our team will discuss a plan based on your individual circumstances.

Is it the same as a joint injection?

No. Red light therapy is a light-based treatment and does not involve an injection. Joint injections are a separate service with different considerations. Your provider can discuss which options may be appropriate.
