Your Brain on Light: How Photobiomodulation Supercharges Recovery After Impact | E14

Life After Impact: The Concussion Recovery Podcast

Send us a text

Dr. Wilkerson walks us through the science of photobiomodulation. PBM can decrease inflammation, increase blood flow to treated areas, and improves cellular function by promoting energy production.
• Photobiomodulation is the umbrella term for using light to change cellular function
• Lasers work faster for pain relief, while LEDs are safer for home use
• Red light therapy has been used in veterinary medicine since the 1970s
• Transcranial photobiomodulation devices like VieLight use different pulse frequencies to target specific brain states
• The gamma setting (40Hz) improves cognitive function and focus
• The alpha setting (10Hz) promotes relaxation and healing
• Device quality and specifications matter – therapeutic benefits depend on proper wavelength, power, and design
• Different devices work better for different conditions
