Acupuncture + Firefly

Acupuncture and Firefly in one visit.

Hands-on work and light therapy, aimed at the same goal, in a single appointment.

Acupuncture and dry needling work directly with the muscles and points involved.

Firefly adds red and near-infrared light (photobiomodulation), aimed at the same areas. Aaron chooses among 8 wavelengths for each session.

One visit, one plan, two tools working on the same goal. Results vary.

I had been dealing with lower back pain for about four months, and acupuncture and light therapy helped me so much. I’m now feeling 100% better! I’m incredibly happy with the results and so grateful for the care I received. I highly recommend it!

When to see a doctor first

Acupuncture and light therapy are not emergency care. See a doctor or go to urgent care first if you have:

  • Sudden, severe pain
  • New numbness, tingling or weakness
  • Pain after a fall, crash or other injury

Firefly is a general wellness device. It is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. Individual results vary.
