What is Red Light Therapy?
Red Light Therapy uses red and infrared light wavelengths which have been proven in scientific and clinical study to break down inflammation and stimulate a normal tissue healing response, which aides in pain management.
With our Body Balance system OvationULT bed, you will not only enjoy the relaxing treatment, but also feel energized when you leave our office.
Types Of Dry Needling We Offer
We offer extensive dry needling services in our Smithtown office including:
Intramuscular stimulation (IMS). The practitioners place the needle directly into the trigger point, which releases it.
Superficial Dry Needling (SDN). The practitioner inserts the needle superficially into the skin, right above the trigger point. SDN triggers the reflex analgesic mechanisms of the brain or spinal cord.

Did you know that red light therapy is also proven effective for use before or after workouts for prevention & recovery? Light therapy treatments have several mechanisms of action on muscle cells, glycogen synthesis, oxidative stress reduction, protection against exercise induced-muscle damage, and the addition of new myonuclei supporting muscle hypertrophy.
Used before exercise, red light therapy supports stronger muscle performance and also helps limit muscle damage and strain. Muscle damage can negatively impact your performance because of inflammation, soreness, and long recovery periods.
Used after exercise, red light therapy can speed up the recovery process by accelerating your muscle adaptation to exercise, helping to process inflammation and increasing antioxidant activity. As red light therapy penetrates the skin and stimulates antioxidants, it can play a key role in reducing oxidative stress that comes with delayed onset muscle soreness.
But don’t take our word for it…here are what some of
our previous clients have to say about our team!
I went there because my wife made me to. I'm glad she did it was a very positive experience. Dr Anthony and his nursing staff are top-notch extremely friendly very thorough and actually care about your comfort. At the end of my appointment today I'm actually looking forward to my next appointment. I highly recommend this practice. Even if you had a bad experience somewhere else .....GO HERE!! Steve B
Dr. G and his entire staff are absolutely amazing! Back in May I was desperate for answers about my 15yo son who was having major pains in his foot. My son plays soccer and runs Track and he couldn’t run at all without having a pain level of 10. I had already brought him to two orthopedics, a podiatrist, a chiropractor and gotten MRIs and X-rays and nobody could give us any answers. Over 6 weeks went by and then I finally tried out acupuncture with Dr. G! During his assessment he knew immediately what was wrong with my son! He is so beyond knowledgeable and within 1 treatment my son felt a ton of relief and after 3 treatments my son was back on the track and soccer field! After 5 treatments he was completely healed with a pain level of 0! And absolutely no issues with his foot since!! My son also has hip pain that comes and goes for the last few years - we went back to Dr. G when his hip started acting up again and the miracle worker did it again! I would HIGHLY recommend Dr. G and his incredible staff to everyone!
I had 90% pain relief for a month after my first visit. They take great care of you and make sure that they take your concerns and help. I highly recommend this team as they are amazing and treat you like family!
I came to Dr. Gordon with so many issues and not much hope of getting better. Just in the short time I’ve been there, I’ve had so much less pain and more mobility in both hands and arms. He’s very knowledgeable at what he does and you can tell that he really wants to help people feel better. Every time I leave the office I feel rejuvenated and in such a good mood. Overall it’s a great place, also due to the fact that Dr. Gordon and nurse Jen are so personable and easy to talk too. They make me feel so safe and comfortable. 5 stars all around 🤩
Dr. Gordon and his staff are personable, respectful and professional. Everyone goes above and beyond. The office is clean and the equipment is state of the art! It really has been a blessing coming to receive acupuncture and the other therapies offered. I have never felt better and I honestly didn’t think I ever would. But this place has given me my life back! Thank you!
I can't say enough about Dr. Gordon and his exceptional team, the attention and care they give to each patient is amazing. I have seen Dr. Gordon for back pain, knee issue and most recently foot pain and I have to say every single time I visit the very next day I'm back to resuming my very active lifestyle. I'm so grateful and happy I found this office.
One week ago I walked into Dr. Anthony Gordon’s office in Smithtown with chronic low back pain, bilateral hip pain, tingling along my left thigh, right knee pain and left shoulder pain. All of which was limiting my active lifestyle of going to the gym, my daily 2.5 mile walk and participation in my beloved zumba class. After one treatment I found myself standing straighter with decreased back, hip and knee pain and no tingling to my left thigh. I was also able to walk 1.5 miles pain free two days later. Now with three treatments completed I will say that each visit is bringing me closer to fully resuming my active lifestyle. I am grateful for the attention Dr. Gordon gives towards my concerns and appreciate his professionalism and expertise in the administration of various acupuncture techniques for pain relief. I highly recommend Dr. Gordon as he spends time in connecting with the patient by listening and then giving a thorough explanation of his treatment plan. I have already referred him to a friend and find myself telling everyone about the great care I have received.
Dr. Gordon and staff are a pleasure as soon as you enter the door. They are thorough in treatment, not rushing through the process. I am completely satisfied in results and professionalism. Highly recommend to anyone who is in pain and struggling to find an answer.
I always have Neck and shoulder pain that causes headaches. After just one treatment with the laser therapy I am pain free for 6 days.
