Seasonal Affective Disorder is a form of depression that typically happens in the fall or winter due to lack of sunshine. Reduced sunlight can also cause your serotonin levels to drop and melatonin levels to become unbalanced, which can play a role in your sleep patterns and mood.

If you have SAD, you may experience some of the following symptoms:

  • Lack of energy
  • Trouble concentrating
  • Sadness
  • Anxiety
  • Weight gain
  • Irritability

Of the 16 million affected, 75% of those are women.

Red Light Therapy is one of the most exciting tools we can add to our health arsenal.

Who can benefit from Red Light Therapy?

Seasonal Affected Disorder

Red Light Therapy (LLLT) is shown to boost your alertness, mood, energy, and concentration. It’s important to use Red Light regularly to achieve and maintain results.

Depression

By helping your circadian rhythm and balancing serotonin levels, research shows that light therapy may improve depression and mental clarity.

Sleep Disorders

Research is showing that using light therapy can positively affect melatonin and serotonin levels in your brain. This allows for a more restful and deep sleep which will allow for a more consistent sleep schedule.

People taking Anti-Depressant Medication

If you’re taking an antidepressant, think of using light therapy in partnership with your medications. By balancing out serotonin levels on top of your current medication, it will amplify the affects.

Studies in animals and humans have shown that depression and anxiety coincide with certain mitochondrial alterations—including changes in cellular respiration and the generation of ATP, the energy currency of all cells.

So, it might not come as a surprise that low-level laser therapy, targeting mitochondria, can have an impact on these conditions! The first clinical trial of red light therapy for depression and anxiety found that a series of treatments with an 810 nm laser led to improvements in their depression and anxiety scores at the two-week follow-up.


Services

Our bodies undergo pains caused by bad posture, migraines, accidents, or spinal injuries. Though we seek treatment, there are times when medication is not enough to treat such pains. That calls for chiropractic care as a treatment, and that's what we at Chiropractic Wellness Center in Kansas City, MO, do. 

We offer different services for people in Kansas City and surrounding communities. Our chiropractor concentrates on all age groups, ranging from children and adults to seniors and pregnant women. 

If you have backaches, joint pains, neck pains, spinal cord injuries, or headaches, visit our clinic for these services and more:

Prenatal Chiropractic Care

Most expectant mothers suffer from lower back pain, constipation and nausea. Our chiropractic will help manage pregnancy challenges and help you maintain pelvic balance. They will offer pain management in terms of chiropractic adjustments and spinal decompression. That will help the body cope with pregnancy changes. We combine this and massage therapy to give you optimum results. 

Postnatal Chiropractic Care

Our chiropractors at Chiropractic Wellness Center understand that postnatal chiropractic care is done gently. That is to allow mothers to return to everyday lives without hassles. Our services include postnatal checkups, physical and postural checks, etc.  They will also advise on nutrition to ensure, as a mother, you live a healthy lifestyle.

Chiropractic Adjustments 

Our chiropractors use their hands or small instruments to apply pressure to the spine. That improves spinal motion, and the body starts to function correctly. When choosing chiropractic adjustments as your pain management option, ensure you visit a trained chiropractic specialist. At Chiropractic Wellness Center, we will take you through the process with minimal risk.

TheraLight 360 Red Light Therapy

Our chiropractors use TheraLight Red Light Therapy to help patients have a good night's sleep, improve mood, stimulate muscle recovery, decrease pain, etc. This therapy helps in cellular and tissue repair. It uses photobiomodulation technology to help promote tissue saturation. TheraLight is safe for everyone, and our chiropractors in Kansas City can perform this therapy.

Pediatric

Our children need chiropractic care too. They are vulnerable and don't know how to express their pain. We start by evaluating the children's status to diagnose where they have pains. The process doesn't involve any use of instruments until we find how the muscles, pelvic position, spine alignment, etc., are doing. From there, we offer our chiropractic care after we are sure of what we are treating.
