Red Light and Laser Therapy FAQ

  • Renting offers convenience, consistency, and savings.
  • For best results, red light and laser therapy should be used twice daily for 1–3 weeks, depending on the area treated.
  • Renting allows you to do treatments at home, on your own schedule — at a fraction of the cost of daily in-office sessions.
  • After 10 weeks of rental, you own the device, making it the most cost-effective way to experience professional-grade laser therapy at home.

Most inexpensive “red light” products only use surface-level LEDs, which don’t reach deep tissues.
Kineon devices combine medical-grade red light (650 nm) with infrared laser diodes (808 nm) that penetrate deeper into muscles, joints, and connective tissue.
This combination provides true photobiomodulation—enhancing circulation, reducing inflammation, and speeding up healing in ways that generic lights simply can’t match.

  • For optimal effectiveness, use the device every 8–12 hours (morning and evening).
  • Consistency is key—light therapy works cumulatively, meaning the more regular your sessions, the faster your results.
  • Each treatment typically lasts 5–15 minutes, depending on the area and condition.

  • Many patients notice reduced pain or stiffness within the first few sessions.
  • For most musculoskeletal injuries, visible improvement occurs within 1–3 weeks of consistent use.
  • Chronic issues may take longer, but continued use enhances recovery, mobility, and long-term tissue health.

  • Yes. Red light and infrared laser therapy are non-invasive, drug-free, and FDA-cleared for pain reduction and tissue healing.
  • There are no harmful UV rays or heat damage—only gentle, restorative light that activates your body’s natural repair systems.
  • It’s safe for daily use and suitable for people of all ages.

  • Unfortunately no insurance pays for red light or laser therapy so no referral is required.
  • You can book red light and laser therapy directly through our clinic — whether as a standalone service, an add-on to your existing chiropractic, massage, or acupuncture care, or as an at-home rental option.
  • If you’re unsure which option is best for your condition, our team will guide you through the most effective plan for your goals.

Red Light & Laser Therapy in West Des Moines

Heal faster. Reduce pain. Move better.

If you’re dealing with pain, inflammation, or slow recovery, red light and laser therapy offers a non-invasive way to help your body heal naturally—without medication or downtime.

At Ashworth Chiropractic, we use Kineon’s Move+ device to support recovery by:

  • Accelerating tissue repair

  • Reducing inflammation

  • Relieving pain and stiffness

  • Improving movement and performance

This therapy is ideal whether you’re recovering from an injury, managing chronic pain, or looking to optimize how your body moves and feels.

How It Works

Red and near-infrared wavelengths pass through the skin and stimulate your cells’ mitochondria—the powerhouses responsible for energy production and tissue repair.

This process, known as photobiomodulation, helps:

  • Increase circulation and oxygenation

  • Support collagen production

  • Promote cellular regeneration

Red light and laser therapy works best when used consistently, allowing benefits to build over time for longer-lasting results.

Our Technology: Kineon Move+ & Relief+

We use medical-grade, wearable Kineon Move+ and Relief+ devices—technology trusted by clinicians and professional athletes worldwide—to deliver consistent, targeted light therapy exactly where your body needs it most.

Unlike generic red light devices, these units are designed for precision and performance, combining:

  • Infrared laser light (808 nm) for deeper tissue penetration

  • LED red light (650 nm) to support surface-level tissue and circulation

This dual-wavelength approach allows light energy to reach muscles, joints, ligaments, and soft tissue more effectively—supporting the body’s natural repair processes at multiple depths.

Why the Technology Matters

The design of the Kineon system allows for localized, consistent delivery, which plays a key role in outcomes such as:

  • Reduced pain and inflammation
  • Faster recovery from injury or surgery
  • Improved joint mobility and flexibility
  • Enhanced healing of soft tissue and ligaments

Because the devices are non-invasive, drug-free, and safe for daily use, they can be incorporated into both short-term recovery plans and longer-term wellness strategies.

Consistency & Expected Results

Results from red light and laser therapy are cumulative—most patients begin noticing improvements within days.

For best outcomes, we typically recommend:

  • Acute injuries: twice-daily use for 1–3 weeks
  • Chronic conditions: consistent use over 3–6 weeks

Even with less frequent in-office use, many patients experience meaningful results—especially when therapy is integrated into 2–3 weekly treatment plans that may include chiropractic care, massage therapy, or acupuncture.

Dr. Matthew squeezed me in on short notice and took very good care of me. He was very thorough and didn’t just adjust me and let me walk out. Amazing experience here and the receptionist is a sweetheart.
