Low Level Laser Therapy

Low-level laser therapy (LLLT) has been a popular modality in the physiotherapeutic management of musculoskeletal injuries and skin wounds in humans, dogs and horses for over 25 years (G.Munroe,2019). It is a non-invasive tool that helps to reduce inflammation and pain.

Low level laser therapy does not provide thermal reaction (heating the cells in the body) unlike other lasers which can be destructive to the cells. The laser works using a photochemical reaction, similar to photosynthesis. Using both laser and LED technology, wavelengths in the light stimulate the cells in the damaged area encouraging regeneration and natural healing. This process reduces inflammation and also provides pain relief.
