Low-Level Laser Therapy

Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) is used by physiotherapists to treat various musculoskeletal conditions. LLLT is a non-invasive light source treatment that generates a single wavelength of light. It emits no vibration, sound or heat.

The wavelength of light is believed to affect the function of connective tissue cells, accelerate connective tissue repair, provide pain relief, and act as an anti-inflammatory agent.

In physiotherapy the LLLT can be used in conditions such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, shoulder impingement syndromes, bursitis, disc degeneration and herniation, sciatica, and tendinopathies.
