LASER- it is the acronym for Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation.
In physiotherapy, Low level laser therapy (LLLT) is used to treat various musculoskeletal conditions. It is a non-invasive light source treatment that generates a single wavelength of light. It emits no heat, sound, or vibration. LLLT acts as an anti-inflammatory agent & accelerates connective tissue repair.
Conditions that can be benefited from LASER therapy include :
• Osteoarthritis
• Rheumatoid arthritis
• Shoulder impingement syndromes
• Bursitis
• Low back pain, disc degeneration, disc herniation
• Neuropathic pain
