Low power laser therapy — an introduction and a review of some biological effects

Haymo Thiel
PMCID: PMC2484304

Abstract

This report gives a brief introduction to the characteristics of therapeutic low power laser devices. Absorption, tissue penetration and physiological mechanisms of laser irradiation are discussed. The biological effects of low power laser light are reviewed in the areas of collagen metabolism, woundhealing, inflammation and pain control. Contraindications, precautions and side effects of low power laser irradiation are discussed.

Keywords: Laser, Acupuncture, Chiropractic
