What to Know

Treatment Details

Our treatments for joint and musculoskeletal pain are not a quick fix — they typically take weeks to months to reach their full effect. In supporting studies, patients have seen pain decrease by as much as 80% after just three weeks of treatment, with better long-term results than a steroid injection. **BBL HERO for Pain Management** We use the BBL HERO® (High Energy Rapid Output) system — targeted BroadBand Light (BBL) therapy that promotes increased blood flow, increased oxygen and nitric oxide delivery, cellular rejuvenation, and reduced inflammation. Treatment is relaxing and feels like a warm massage. Most patients notice results the day after their first session, with the best results typically seen after a series of treatments. This approach is supported by published research, including Huang et al.'s (2015) systematic review and meta-analysis on low-level laser therapy for chronic low back pain, and Chow et al.'s (2009) review on the efficacy of low-level laser therapy for neck pain.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

What conditions can this treat?

We treat inflammation and chronic pain from a range of joint and musculoskeletal conditions, including tendonitis, arthritis, and general chronic joint pain.

How long until I see results?

This is not a quick fix — full effects typically take weeks to months. That said, many patients notice improvement as early as the day after their first treatment, with the best results after a series of sessions.

Is this treatment painful?

No — BBL HERO for pain management is relaxing and feels similar to a warm or hot massage.

How does this compare to a steroid injection?

Supporting research on low-level light therapy suggests better long-term results than a steroid injection, without an injection's risks or downtime. A consultation with Dr. Rike can help determine the best option for your specific condition.
