Non-invasive red light therapy designed to support back pain relief and spinal wellness — no drugs, no needles, no downtime. Serving Clive, West Des Moines, Urbandale, Johnston, Waukee, and the greater Des Moines metro.
Back pain usually involves inflammation, reduced circulation to spinal structures, and compromised cellular repair in the affected tissues. Red and near-infrared light at therapeutic wavelengths penetrate deep into muscle and connective tissue surrounding the spine. Research suggests this may support the body's anti-inflammatory pathways, promote blood flow to oxygen-starved tissues, and accelerate cellular repair processes. At LightLab Wellness, our full-body system provides comprehensive coverage of the entire back and spinal region — you don't need to pinpoint the exact source of pain because the light reaches everything simultaneously.

Back pain is the number one reason Des Moines metro residents miss work and seek wellness support. Whether you're a desk worker from the Meredith Corporation campus, a nurse from MercyOne West Des Moines, or a construction worker from the Waukee development boom — your back takes the hit. LightLab Wellness in Clive is centrally located on University Ave, two minutes from I-35/80, making it accessible from anywhere in the metro. Many of our back pain clients combine sessions with chiropractic care from providers along the University Ave medical corridor.
