Infrared & Light Therapy
Light therapy is offered as part of the clinic's range of complementary treatments.
Different wavelengths and equipment settings are used for different purposes, so a discussion of your goals and relevant health history helps determine whether a session is appropriate for you.
Ask which type of light is being considered for your concern and what a session would involve, including duration and any protective measures.
Mention light sensitivity, relevant medicines and skin conditions before treatment so suitability can be discussed.
If you are comparing light therapy with another clinic service, a consultation can help place the options in the context of your broader care.

The Three Modalities
The appropriate option and exposure depend on the area being treated and the practitioner's assessment. Light therapy may be discussed alongside acupuncture or Tui Na as part of a wider plan.
