Photobiomodulation (PBM)
Photobiomodulation (PBM) is a non-invasive, alternative treatment that uses near-infrared light to support cellular health and healing.
What is Photobiomodulation?
Photobiomodulation (photo = light, bio = live, modulation = change) treatment uses infra-red light (light outside of the visible spectrum) to stimulate cellular repair, reduce inflammation, and enhance tissue regeneration. tPBM works by delivering light energy directly to the brain, improving mitochondrial function and promoting natural healing processes.
This technology has been widely studied and applied in fields such as neurology, pain management, sports medicine, and mental health.
At Northwest Biofeedback Center, we utilize the Neuradiant 1070, a cutting-edge, FDA-registered transcranial photobiomodulation (tPBM) system designed specifically for brain wellness. The Neuradiant 1070 helmet delivers light directly to the mitochondria – the powerhouse of the cell- in the brain cells to create more energy (ATP) molecules.
PBM and Neurofeedback work together very well. Using photobiomodulation before neurofeedback allows the brain to produce more energy right before brain training, enhancing the outcomes of the session.
Reasons to Consider Photobiomodulation
PBM may be a powerful addition to your wellness regimen:
- If you’re experiencing stress, burnout, or brain fog and looking for adjunctive therapy for neurological conditions.
- If you are struggling with migraines, cognitive fatigue, inflammation, or mood dysregulation.
- Simply want to support your body’s natural resilience and productivity.
Photobiomodulation is useful for many of the same symptoms we address with Neurofeedback:
- Concussion and Traumatic Brain Injuries
- Anxiety and Depression
- Dysregulated Sleep
- Long COVID and Brain Fog
- Stress Reduction
- Cognition and Mental Clarity
- Dementia, Alzheimer’s and Neurodegenerative Diseases
Benefits of Photobiomodulation
- Supports brain function and cognitive clarity
- Increases circulation, decreases inflammation
- Reduces inflammation and oxidative stress
- Improves mood and emotional balance
- Enhances energy metabolism and cellular repair
- Promotes neuroplasticity and brain resilience
- Accelerate recovery from injuries or mental fatigue
