How does Low Level Laser Therapy Work?

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) July 9, 2011 -- Lasers for use in pain therapy are starting to gain recognition in this country. The FDA cleared Low Level Laser Therapy for use in pain, inflammation, and wound healing in 2002; however, the benefits of LLLT have been recognized and successfully used overseas for decades. Studies have shown LLLT to reduce neck and back pain by as much as 70% with no known side effects.

The theory is the laser excites the targeted cells in the injured tissue, causing the cells to send out a signal that healing needs to take place in the area being treated. This signal travels throughout the blood stream, connective tissues, and nervous system to significantly speed up the body’s response and healing time. Interestingly, researchers have also discovered that LLLT boosts healing throughout the body, not just in the area being treated.

Many would be surprised to learn that more is not better when it comes to LLLT; the effective dose is quite small. Typical treatments can take as little as five minutes and are administered several times per week over a course of two to three weeks for maximum and lasting effect.
