What is Photobiomodulation?

May 9, 2026

Photobiomodulation (PBM) is the science behind red light therapy and one of the ways we support cellular wellness at Carter Healthcare.

It uses specific wavelengths of red and near-infrared light to stimulate the mitochondria — the “powerhouses” of your cells — helping your body produce more cellular energy (ATP). When your cells function better, your body is often able to heal, recover, and perform more efficiently.

At Carter Healthcare, we believe many people feel stuck, inflamed, fatigued, or rundown because their cells are struggling. Our goal is to support the body at the cellular level — not just cover symptoms temporarily.

Photobiomodulation may help support:
Inflammation reduction
Pain relief
Circulation and recovery
Muscle and joint health
Skin health and collagen production
Energy and overall wellness
Healing and recovery processes

This is why we often combine therapies like:
Medical-grade Red Light Therapy
SoftWave Therapy
Halo Salt Sauna
Nutrition education
Occupational Therapy

Each service works differently, but they all share one common goal: helping the body function better from the inside out.

At Carter Healthcare, we are passionate about offering therapies that support healing, recovery, aging in place, and long-term wellness — because better health starts at the cellular level.

If you are having trouble logging in and/or know you will be late, please call or text the office at 606-225-4443 to let the provider know and see how they can assist you.

4. As a courtesy, you will receive an appointment reminder call/text/email one day prior to your appointment. Please note, if a courtesy reminder is not received, the cancellation policy remains in effect. The reminder is a courtesy, not a condition to the cancellation policy.
