The patient is interviewed, and, based on their complaint, treated with Firefly multi-spectrum light therapy for 5-20 minutes in the appropriate areas. Moderate pain relief is often achieved after only one treatment; however a series of treatments is often prescribed to limit recurrence of pain.
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 lymphatic system and small blood vessels in injured tissue
Stimulates nerve function: Accelerates the regeneration of damaged nerves.
Fast: Typical treatment is between 10 and 20 minutes
Nonpharmalogical: 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
Unlike other modalities, no sticky pads or cold gels are required. Most patients feel a pleasant warming sensation over the treatment area.
