Photobiomodulation
Photobiomodulation nourishes the brain and slows down the aging process by reducing stress and anxiety, while increasing mental acuity and improving overall memory.
What to expect:
When you come in for your photobiomodulation therapy session, you will be seated in a comfortable chair and the transcranial headset will be placed on your head. You will have the option to clip a specifically designed intranasal LED light to into your nostril. The session lasts 20 minutes. This treatment can be done separately or in addition to your regular sessions.
We will choose between two settings:
Alpha waves are correlated with the brain’s resting state, offering support for mental coordination, mindfulness and learning which helps you feel more relaxed, reduces anxiety, and improves sleep quality.
Gamma waves help with increased memory activity, perception, cognition, focus and creativity.
Here’s how it works:
Our Photobiomodulation (PMB) transcranial-intranasal headset uses near infrared light energy that is absorbed by the mitochondria and converted into ATP for cellular use. It enhances the body's biochemical ability to store and use energy and increases blood flow, oxygen and nutrients triggering the body's natural healing processes.
PBM therapy stimulates the creation of new cells and provides protection to the brain.
PBM technology delivers optimized light energy to blood that flows through the nasal channels. These deep structures within the brain’s core have important functions, such as long-term memory and hormonal regulation.
Benefits of Photobiomodulation:
- Reduces inflammation
- Improves memory & cognition
- Regulates hormones
- Heals and repairs cells
- Stimulates neuron growth
- Improves cellular communication
- Improves blood circulation
- Boosts immunity
- Increases blood oxygenation levels
- Improves memory including long term memory
- Reduces anxiety
- Improves mental acuity
- Increases energy levels
- Enhances aerobic fitness
- Increases Nitric Oxide
- Improves sleep quality
This technology increases growth factors in the brain, creating new neural circuits to continue learning and enjoying life as we age.
Photobiomodulation is offered both as a standalone treatment or in addition to a full Nutrition session. Book online or email us for more information.
