Red Light Therapy
This photobiomodulation therapy utilizes a combination of near-infrared (NIR) and LED light therapy. The wavelengths used in our treatments: 630nm, 660nm, 810nm, 830nm, and 850nm, have been shown in studies to improve circulation, reduce inflammation, increase collagen production, thus improving skin's appearance, reduce recovery time from muscle injury, reduce pain, and increase testosterone production in men!
Improved Skin Texture and Appearance
Studies are ongoing but red light therapy has the potential to non-invasively improve skin texture and firmness by helping the cells to increase collagen production. (Wunsch A, Matuschka K. A controlled trial to determine the efficacy of red and near-infrared light treatment in patient satisfaction, reduction of fine lines, wrinkles, skin roughness, and intradermal collagen density increase.) Photomed Laser Surg. 2014;32(2):93-100. doi:10.1089/pho.2013.3616)
Improved Circulation and Healing
Light therapy has shown promise in treatments of such dermatological conditions as plaque psoriasis, healing burns, resolving hypertrophic scarring and keloids, as well as success with general stimulation of healing, reduction of inflammation, reduction of healthy cell death and skin rejuvenation.

Improved Testosterone Production in Men and Hair Growth Stimulation
In this male infertility study, admittedly the subject is complex, requiring a variety of modalities. However, light therapy was one piece of the puzzle found to be effective with no adverse effects identified. The light therapy used at our practice includes the effective wavelengths used in the study. Moskvin SV, Apolikhin OI. Effectiveness of low level laser therapy for treating male infertility.

For hair regrowth, this study showed a more than 30% increase in scalp hair growth using wavelengths in the 600s which are included in our therapy sessions.

There have been numerous studies on the effectiveness of red light therapy for various health conditions
and it has been shown to be effective with no adverse effects or reactions noted. Do your own research and make your own decision.

You won't know until you try.
Red light therapy sessions alone start at $35.00 for a 15-minute session on the face only, fully clothed and sitting up in a comfortable recliner. See our price page for more details. For full body treatments, you will be comfortably positioned on a massage table in a private room. The light must have direct access to the targeted skin so you must be disrobed but may be appropriately draped (if desired) in order to benefit from the therapy. Alternatively, you may wear a bikini/bathing suit or your under garments. There are no UV rays emitted so skin damage is not an issue. Reiki can be administered with or without touch (at additional cost), prior to your session as desired. Accupressure or trigger point therapy (non-invasive; no needles) obviously involves touch.
Medical Conservative Foot Care
Medical Conservative Foot Care
As a Certified Foot Care Specialist, Holly provides gentle at-risk foot care for diabetics or those who simply are unable to care for their own feet. If you don't need surgery but could benefit from corn and callous reduction or ingrown or fungal/dystrophic toenail remediation, that can be done in our practice.
This is not a "pedicure" such as you would receive in a salon (so polish is not involved), but rather medical, non-invasive care of the at-risk foot. If you have compromised circulation or decreased sensation in your feet, you are more prone to undiscovered injuries. A comprehensive foot and leg exam will be done with referral to a higher level of care (podiatrist) if indicated.

RED LIGHT THERAPY
RED LIGHT therapy uses infrared and near infrared wavelengths to actually penetrate into your cells, affecting the mitochondria (powerhouse of the cell) and how it functions, "revving up" cell function to facilitate muscle recovery, improve skin texture, and is able to actually penetrate into the brain to affect brain function. Studies have shown that full body red light treatments such as the treatments available at Morongo Health & Wellness, can improve gut and in turn, whole body function.
FOOT CARE
As a nationally board-certified Nurse Practitioner additionally certified in foot care by the American Foot Care Nurses Association, I can treat corns, callouses, ingrown toenails, and refer to a higher level of care if indicated. If you have an issue with your feet, are diabetic, have poor circulation, or just can't reach your own feet to do the job yourself, I can help. If you don't need the surgery or advanced services of a podiatric physician or surgeon, come see me.
