How Light Therapy Helps Migraines
Step 1
Calms nerve inflammation. Migraines are closely linked to inflammation in the trigeminal nerve system. Read about TMJ and trigeminal neuralgia
Step 2
Improves circulation. Light increases blood flow and gives oxygen-starved cells energy to recover.
Step 3
Settles pain pathways. Repeated treatments help quiet overactive pain signals in the brain. See our light therapy helmet
What Patients in Eastern NC Are Experiencing
Kelly, migraine pain reduced in one treatment
"I've had one treatment that has already changed the outcome and perspective of my limited thinking.... I'm amazed to think of the future of this therapy in my healing and life!"
Christina, Stopped Her Migraines After 12-13 Years
“I have had issues with migraines for the past 12-13 years. I have received Botox injections to control the migraines for the last seven years. After my positive experience with laser therapy on my foot, we decided to treat my migraines as well. With laser treatments over the course of a couple of months, we were able to stop the migraines. Occasionally I still get headaches, but when I do I’m able to go in and get a treatment to keep the migraines at bay. It’s really been life changing.”

Frequently Asked Questions
How many treatments will I need for migraines?
Most patients see meaningful improvement within 3–6 sessions. Chronic migraine sufferers typically follow a more intensive initial protocol, then transition to maintenance visits once frequency decreases. We’ll give you a personalized estimate at your free consultation.
Can red light therapy stop a migraine that’s already started?
Some patients report relief when treatment is applied during the early stages of a migraine. It is most effective, however, as a preventive treatment — reducing how often migraines occur and how severe they are when they do.
Is light therapy safe for migraines?
Yes. It is non-invasive, drug-free, and has no known serious side effects. It is safe for most patients including those who are sensitive to light, though we discuss any sensitivities at your initial consultation.
Do you treat headaches that aren’t migraines?
Absolutely. We treat tension headaches, cluster headaches, cervicogenic headaches (caused by neck issues), sinus headaches, and headaches related to TMJ or nerve conditions.
Can I do this if I’m already taking migraine medication?
Yes. Light therapy can be used alongside your medication. Many of our patients use it to reduce their reliance on acute medication over time — but we never recommend stopping any prescribed treatment without talking to your doctor first.
