Call to ScheduleWhat Is Red Light Therapy?
Red light therapy, also known as photobiomodulation, uses specific wavelengths of red and near-infrared light to interact with the body's tissues and cellular processes.
Unlike ultraviolet light used in tanning, photobiomodulation uses non-UV wavelengths. The goal is not tanning, but exposure to selected wavelengths of light commonly used in wellness, recovery and rehabilitation settings.

Powered by the Merican M6N Plus
Chirotherm uses the Merican M6N Plus, a commercial-grade full-body red light therapy system designed to deliver red and near-infrared light throughout the body.
The system features 41,600 LEDs and multiple wavelengths that can be incorporated into a full-body photobiomodulation session.
Instead of standing in front of a small panel and treating one area at a time, the enclosed design surrounds the body with light, allowing large areas to be exposed simultaneously.
Five Wavelengths of Red and Near-Infrared Light
Red Light
633 nm + 660 nm
These wavelengths are primarily associated with more superficial tissues and are commonly used in applications involving skin, circulation and surface-level tissue support.
Near-Infrared Light
810 nm + 850 nm + 940 nm
Near-infrared wavelengths penetrate more deeply and are commonly incorporated into photobiomodulation protocols focused on muscles, joints and physical recovery.
