The
LightCap™ is a product for hands-free treatment of the frontal
sinuses, the temporomandibular joint, occiput (base of the skull),
atlas (first cervical vertebra), axis (second cervical vertebra) as
well as some of the primary acupuncture points in the area.
The base of the skull is one of the most compromised areas of the
body due to the manner in which we handle, treat, tie and ride our
