What is Phototherapy? Understanding the Science Behind LifeWave Patches

Phototherapy might sound like a modern marvel, but it’s a concept that has been around for over a century, using light to support the body’s natural healing processes. Its origins go back even further—ancient Greeks explored how different colored lights affected health, and Egyptians used focused sunlight through colored glass to target specific areas of the body.

Today, this fascinating concept has evolved into innovative, non-invasive technologies like LifeWave patches. These tiny, easy-to-use patches utilize light to help improve wellness in profound ways. Let me share my personal experience with them.

How I First Tried LifeWave Patches

A little over a year ago, a trusted patient introduced me to LifeWave patches. She experiences chronic structural pain and told me how much relief the patches brought her, especially on days she couldn’t make it to her acupuncture appointments. Hearing how they helped her feel better and stay active, I decided to try them myself.

At that time, I didn’t have any specific symptoms to track, so I didn’t notice any obvious changes. Eventually, the patches were forgotten and tucked away—until they became a solution I never expected to need.

When Wrist Pain Brought the Patches Back

Toward the end of last year, I started a new activity that unexpectedly flared up some wrist pain. At first, the discomfort would come and go, showing up after class and fading by the next day. But after a few weeks, the pain became constant and started to impact my daily routine.

As an acupuncturist, I’m not a fan of self-needling (ironic, I know!), so I started thinking about other options. That’s when I remembered the LifeWave patches sitting in my drawer. One morning, before heading to BeeWell, I applied a patch to my wrist and went about my day.

By the time I saw my first patient, I realized the pain was completely gone. I was stunned! I even shared my excitement with my patient, who became curious enough to try the patches herself. She later told me they’ve been giving her more energy and helping her feel great.

A Comprehensive Approach to Healing

While the patches played a significant role in my recovery, they were part of a bigger plan. I gave my wrist some much-needed rest, added strengthening exercises to build resilience, stayed consistent with a healthy lifestyle, and incorporated acupuncture injection therapy to directly target the area. Together, these efforts helped expedite my recovery and get me back to feeling my best.

Why I Recommend LifeWave Patches

LifeWave patches are a powerful, non-invasive tool that supports the body’s natural healing processes. They’re easy to use and can be a great addition to a wellness routine, whether you’re dealing with pain, low energy, or other discomforts.
