Parkinsons is an illness that has become steadily more common in recent years. It is a movement disorder affecting specific areas of the brain, and can also develop into dementia.

Red and Near-infrared Light Therapy

Photobiomodulation (red and near-infrared light therapy) is an exciting option for anyone suffering Parkinsons. Recent research has shown that if light of specific wavelengths and sufficient energy is used, there can indeed be improvements in both physical and mental symptoms. For Parkinson’s, balance, walking and mood can all improve. 

Prevention and Treatment options 

 The earlier treatment begins, the better the results will be. Please reach out to our office at [email protected] for more information about how you can purchase your own devices to self-treat at home.

We can provide you with information about a program of gut-directed laser therapy (because there is a lot of dopamine produced in the gut, and treating the gut is part of the overall recovery), along with information about a “helmet” device with LED lights that provides both red and near infra-red light. In addition, a third source of light can be attached to a nostril and delivers light directly to the blood stream and thus to the whole body.

Please note, while we can provide you with the tools and research-based information to create your program for home use, we do not treat patients in office. 

Self-Treatment

We can provide you with information about how to purchase your own devices to use at home. If you visit our office, you may wish to ask to see our own lasers to learn how to use them. We know that continued use is essential and there is a deterioration in most people once they stop using the light, which is promptly reversed once the light therapy starts up again.
