Chiropractic Red Light Therapy in De Pere, WI
Chiropractic red light therapy in De Pere is available at Back In Action Chiropractic Center as a gentle, noninvasive part of your care plan. Red light therapy, also called photobiomodulation or low-level light therapy, uses red and near-infrared light to support the body’s natural recovery processes. Dr. Steven Hansen, DC reviews your goals and health history first to decide whether it fits your care. Sessions are typically painless, with no downtime.
Care begins with an evaluation, not a promise. We explain the role of any recommended service and encourage you to ask questions so you can make an informed decision about your care.
What Is Red Light Therapy?
Red light therapy uses low-level red or near-infrared light delivered to the skin. It is a noninvasive option that may be considered for wellness or recovery goals within an individualized plan.
People respond differently to light-based services. Tell the clinician if you are unusually sensitive to light or take medicines that can increase light sensitivity. The potential benefits and precautions depend on the equipment, purpose of treatment, and your health history. We discuss those details with you before you decide on care.
Your questions, your goals
How Chiropractic Red Light Therapy Fits Your Care Plan
At our De Pere office, Dr. Hansen may discuss chiropractic red light therapy after reviewing your individual situation and goals. A consultation may include:
- Wellness and recovery goals
- A desire to explore noninvasive services
- Your current chiropractic care plan
- Relevant health history
- Questions about light-based services
- Whether another recommendation is more appropriate
Red light therapy is not a replacement for diagnosis, treatment, or urgent evaluation. Before care begins, the clinician considers whether the service fits your situation and explains any relevant precautions.

Who May Benefit From Red Light Therapy?
Red light therapy may be considered for adults who want a gentle, noninvasive option alongside their chiropractic care to support wellness and recovery goals. If you are already receiving care for back pain, arthritis and joint pain or a sports injury, Dr. Hansen can tell you whether red light therapy may be a useful addition to your plan.
It is not the right fit for everyone. Red light therapy is a supportive option, not a cure, and it is never a reason to delay evaluation of new or worsening symptoms.

Red Light Therapy vs. Class IV Laser Therapy
Red light therapy and Class IV laser therapy are both light-based, noninvasive options at Back In Action, but they work differently:
| Red light therapy | Class IV laser therapy | |
|---|---|---|
| Light source | Typically LEDs that emit red and near-infrared light | A focused, higher-power therapeutic laser |
| Power level | Lower power | Higher power |
| Treatment area | Broader areas of the body | A specific, targeted area |
| How it feels | Gentle warmth or no sensation | Soothing warmth at the treatment site |
| Typical role | Supports overall wellness and recovery goals | Targeted support for tissue recovery and discomfort in one area |
Not sure which is right for you? Dr. Hansen will recommend the option, if either, that best fits your goals. Learn more about Class IV laser therapy in De Pere.

What is chiropractic red light therapy?

Does red light therapy hurt?
No. Red light therapy is noninvasive and typically painless. Most people feel gentle warmth or nothing at all during a session, and there is no downtime afterward.
Is red light therapy the same as Class IV laser therapy?
No. Both are light-based, but red light therapy typically uses lower-power LED light spread over a broader area, while Class IV laser therapy uses a higher-power laser focused on a specific area. Dr. Hansen recommends the option, if either, that best fits your goals. See Class IV laser therapy.
What happens during a red light therapy session?
Dr. Hansen first confirms that red light therapy is appropriate for you and explains how the session works and any precautions. You then relax while the light is applied to the treatment area, and your response is reviewed over time as part of your care plan.
Who should not use red light therapy?
Tell Dr. Hansen before treatment if you are unusually sensitive to light, take medications that increase light sensitivity, are pregnant, or have a history of skin cancer or other health concerns. He will decide whether red light therapy is appropriate for you.
Can red light therapy replace care from my physician?
No. Red light therapy is a supportive option, not a replacement for diagnosis or medical treatment. Keep all of your healthcare providers informed about any services you are considering or receiving.
