Light Therapy for Autoimmune Relief in Greenville, NC
NON-INVASIVE • DRUG-FREE • NO DOWNTIME
Calm the inflammation behind pain and fatigue
Autoimmune conditions keep your body in constant inflammation, and that inflammation drives most of the pain, fatigue and tissue damage.
Light therapy doesn’t cure the condition itself. It gives your body a fighting chance to recover from what the condition is doing to it, alongside the care you already receive.

What the Evidence Shows
Randomized Trial, 2013
Nine months after 10 laser sessions, people with Hashimoto’s hypothyroidism needed about a third of the daily thyroid medication dose that the placebo group needed (39 vs. 107 mcg).
Cochrane Review, 2005
In rheumatoid arthritis, laser therapy reduced pain and cut morning stiffness by 27.5 minutes compared with placebo.
Randomized Trial, 2026
People with Hashimoto’s who had 6 light therapy sessions reported less fatigue, better sleep and less anxiety 3 months later than those who had a sham treatment.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will this interfere with my immunosuppressant medications?
No. Light therapy has no known interactions with immunosuppressants, biologics, or other autoimmune medications. We ask that you disclose your full medication list at your consultation so we can design an appropriate protocol, but there is no contraindication.
Can light therapy cause an autoimmune flare?
Not at the therapeutic levels we use. In fact, many patients use light therapy specifically to shorten or reduce the severity of flares. We start conservatively with new patients and monitor closely.
Is this a replacement for my rheumatologist or specialist?
No, and we don’t position it that way. Light therapy at ATS is an adjunct to whatever care you’re already receiving, not a substitute for it. We encourage all our autoimmune patients to stay under specialist supervision.
How often would I need to come in?
It depends on the condition and severity. Some patients come in twice a week during a flare, then shift to maintenance once a month. Book a free consultation for a personalized recommendation.
I have lupus. Is it safe to use red light on my skin?
Lupus patients can be photosensitive, particularly to UV light. Our light therapy uses red and near-infrared wavelengths, not UV. However, we discuss individual sensitivities at every consultation and adjust accordingly. Please let us know about any light sensitivity at your first visit.
