These photons have a range of beneficial effects on the body, promoting healing, pain relief, and overall well-being. The therapy involves using specific wavelengths of light to target and stimulate various systems within the body, leading to positive physiological responses.
Photobiomodulation therapy offers several benefits for individuals seeking pain relief, accelerated healing, and improved overall health. Some of the benefits include:
Photobiomodulation therapy can benefit individuals experiencing various conditions, including chronic pain, inflammation, musculoskeletal injuries, and compromised immune function. It is suitable for individuals seeking non-invasive and drug-free treatment options. However, it is essential to consult with a healthcare professional to determine if Firefly Light Therapy suits your specific condition and individual needs.
Our practitioner will spend time going over your information to ensure your health concerns are heard and understood. She will then take your picture with our thermal camera. This process is painless, private, and only takes about 10 minutes.

With this information, we can create a wellness plan using clinically proven methods to address each area of concern. We also work with a large network of practitioners in the Tulsa area as trusted referral sources for additional treatment options if needed.
Scientific research on Photobiomodulation therapy has shown promising results in various areas. Studies have demonstrated its effectiveness in promoting tissue repair, reducing pain and inflammation, and improving immune system function. The therapy's mechanism of action, involving the stimulation of enzymes and ATP synthesis, has been well-documented in the scientific literature.
The number of Firefly Light Therapy treatments required can vary depending on individual factors such as the chronicity of the condition, overall health status, and specific treatment goals. Typically, four initial treatments are administered to assess the therapy's effectiveness and gauge the need for additional sessions. The healthcare provider may evaluate the progress and recommend further treatments based on the individual's response and ongoing needs. High-resolution infrared images may be taken before and after the initial treatment to assess blood circulation and objectively measure the impact of Firefly Photon Therapy on the body.

You do not need a doctor's recommendation for Light Therapy. Please call or email your local office to request an appointment.
Yes. High-resolution infrared images can be taken before and after the initial treatment, clearly detailing blood circulation and the effect of Light Therapy.
Yes. Light Therapy works well alone or with other therapies such as acupuncture, neurofeedback, chiropractic, physical therapy, and more.
This varies based on many factors, including chronicity of disease, strength of the immune system, frequency of treatments, and much more. A series of 4 treatments is usually administered to evaluate the effectiveness and determine the appropriate number of additional sessions.
Yes. Because the treatment is so comfortable, children and seniors welcome its beneficial effects. There are also no worries about applying therapy over many types of implanted medical devices.
Light Therapy does not emit any x-ray (ionizing) radiation. It only emits pure light. Unlike a laser’s focused light, light emitted by this therapy diffuses and reduces the risk of burn.
As with any therapy, it is not applied over cancer, infection, a pregnant uterus, or the eyes.
Unlike other modalities, no sticky pads or cold gels are required. Most patients feel a pleasant warming sensation over the treatment area.
Faster healing: Accelerates cell development in damaged tissue as well as stimulating bone and cartilage regeneration.
Anti-inflammatory action: Reduces swelling and accelerates healing times of soft tissue injuries.
Increased vascular activity: Results in an increase of microcirculation of the lymphatic system and small blood vessels in injured tissue.
Stimulates nerve function: Accelerates the regeneration of damaged nerves.
Fast: Typical treatment is between 5 and 10 minutes.
Nonpharmacological: No hidden side effects.
Safe: Emits pure, non-ionizing light.
Non-invasive: Unlike painful injections, the skin is not physically penetrated.
Economical: Costs less than other therapy and offers greater benefits.
Based on your symptoms, you’ll be assessed and given a light therapy session for 5-10 minutes in the appropriate areas. Moderate pain relief is often achieved after only one treatment; however, a series of treatments are often recommended to limit the recurrence of pain.
