Class IV Laser for Chronic Pain and Osteoarthritis
REVIEW OF LITERATURE ON LOW-LEVEL LASER THERAPY BENEFITS FOR NONPHARMACOLOGICAL PAIN CONTROL IN CHRONIC PAIN AND OSTEOARTHRITIS
“Low-level laser therapy (LLLT) is a form of light therapy that triggers biochemical changes within cells. Photons are absorbed by cellular photoreceptors, triggering chemical alterations and potential biochemical benefits to the human body. LLLT has been used in pain management for years and is also known as cold laser therapy, which uses low-frequency continuous laser of typically 600 to 1000 nm wavelength for pain reduction and healing stimulation. Many studies have demonstrated analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects provided by photobiomodulation in both experimental and clinical trials.”
