Our Chiropractor Serving McMurry PA Offers Horizon Light Therapy Treatment

Do you have trouble falling or staying asleep? Are you seasonally depressed, or struggling with your mood at any time of year? Our chiropractor may be able to help you! Dr. Scott Anderson is your premier chiropractor serving McMurray, Peters Township, Canonsburg, and Upper St. Clair. Among his many drug-free and non-invasive treatments, Dr. Anderson is proud to offer Horizon Light Therapy. 

What Is Horizon Light Therapy? 

Horizon Light Therapy treatment is an innovative way to treat a variety of health conditions. During a session, you sit comfortably near a light therapy unit. This device emits a specific wavelength of light that mimics natural light. Photons from this light triggers a cascade of biochemical responses--including increased ATP (cell fuel) production, DNA synthesis, cellular regeneration, and restoration of homestasis--that promote healing and well-being.

Who Benefits From Horizon Light Therapy Treatment?

Anyone suffering from Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) can benefit from Horizon Light Therapy treatment. It's also a safe and effective treatment for a few other conditions, including: 

• Other types of depression
• Jet lag
• Insomnia and other sleep disorders
• Dementia and other cognitive issues
• Shift work

Light therapy is desirable when electrical stimulation, ultrasound, or other modalities are contraindicated (for instance, if the desired treatment area is located directly over the spinal cord, joint replacements, internal metal, and joint capsules in arthritic conditions). It's also preferred by many people because light therapy can also reduce your reliance on prescription medications (though you should always speak with your prescribing physician before making any changes to your medications).
