What is Dynamic Light Therapy?

Light therapy is a safe and simple technique that can benefit many physical recovery processes and assist in pain control. It invovles concentration of specific wavelengths of light in both the visible red and invisible infrared spectrum delivered at specific intensity levels. Red light is quite helpful in treating problems close to the surface of the skin such as wounds, cuts, scars, infections, and acupuncture points.
