Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) sometimes known as Low Level Light Therapy or Photobiomodulation (PBM) is a low intensity light therapy. The effect is photochemical not thermal. The light triggers biochemical changes within cells and can be compared to the process of photosynthesis in plants, where the photons are absorbed by cellular photoreceptors and triggers chemical changes.
Different "colors" of lasers hit differing wavelengths and can be useful for different processes within the body such as those listed below:
Laser Therapy is not new! In 1903, Dr. Nils Finsen was awarded a Nobel Prize for his contribution to the treatment of diseases, especially lupus vulgaris, with concentrated light radiation [11]. In 1960, Professor Maiman TH [12] built the first working red ruby laser [12], but it was not until 1967 when Mester E et al. [13,14] was able to demonstrate the phenomenon of “laser bio stimulation” [13,14]. In 1999, Whelan H et al. [15] presented his work on the medical applications of light emitting diodes (LED) for use on the NASA space station [15]. Subsequently over 400 Phase III randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trials have been published, with over 4000 laboratory studies of LLLT. (Pubmed.gov)

Although there are hundreds of Research Articles showing the amazing benefits of Laser Therapy that can be accomplished at home, these are definitely some of my favorite!
I am a Critical Care Nurse specializing in Neurological/ Trauma and constantly deal with Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), Stroke and other Medical Diagnoses and therefore, love to see the research that support BOTH of my passions- Western & Eastern Medicine Techniques/Modalities.
If you come across one that you like, please feel free to share! I am always adding more Research Resources to my collection!
