Light Therapy
in Okemos and Lansing, MI
Clinical red light therapy and the broader category of light-based protocols — for patients across Okemos, East Lansing, and Lansing, MI.
Schedule an AppointmentLight-based therapy — sometimes called photobiomodulation — uses targeted wavelengths of light to influence cellular and tissue function without medication, needles, or recovery time. The category covers everything from clinical red and near-infrared protocols to specialty applications still under research, and at Wellness Alternatives it sits inside a broader functional medicine practice where each session connects to the rest of your plan.
Dr. Janet Eng selects light protocols clinically — not as standalone wellness sessions but as a structured layer inside a plan she has built around your goals. Her background as a board-certified emergency physician, fellowship-trained in medical toxicology, with continued training through the University of South Florida Morsani Personalized Medicine Course, A4M, AMMG, IFM, Frequency Specific Microcurrent, and My Injection Training, and currently participating in the AMSKU Ultrasound Fellowship, informs the dose, frequency, and combination of every session.

Two Light-Based Protocols Under One Roof
Clinical red light is the externally applied protocol Dr. Eng uses most often; Hemealumen UVBI brings the photobiomodulation idea inward, applied to a portion of circulating blood through an IV. Each dedicated page covers the equipment, the session experience, and the specifics.
Red Light Therapy
Full-body red and near-infrared sessions on a medical-grade bed — the most common light-based protocol at the clinic.
Hemealumen UVBI Therapy
Ultraviolet blood irradiation delivered through an IV — light-mediated photobiomodulation applied to circulating blood, used as supportive care in chronic-infection and immune-related contexts.
How Care Works Here
Patients exploring photobiomodulation in Michigan typically arrive at the question of clinical use versus a consumer device at home. Light therapy at Wellness Alternatives is the clinical version — but it does not run as a standalone weekly wellness routine. It plugs into the rest of your plan: pre-loaded before an IV nutrition session, sequenced alongside shockwave for soft-tissue recovery, or used as a maintenance layer when other interventions taper. The choice of when, how often, and for how long is Dr. Eng's call, made against your specific goals.
Questions About Light Therapy
At a category level, light therapy — sometimes called photobiomodulation — means using specific wavelengths of light to support physiologic processes inside the body. It is a non-invasive class of treatment that delivers its effect at the cellular level rather than through a medication or implanted device.
Two reasons. First, the dose: a clinic delivers therapeutic wavelengths at a verified output across the whole body in a short session, where most home devices target a single area at a fraction of the dose. Second, the protocol: timing, frequency, and combination of sessions are clinical decisions Dr. Eng makes for your specific situation.
It is additive. Light therapy does not replace medications, procedures, or care from your primary physician. Dr. Eng coordinates with your other providers when relevant, and light sessions slot into a broader functional medicine plan she designs around your goals.
