Conclusion:
Many aspects of Low Light Laser Therapy are reviewed, including: pain relieving mechanisms, anti-inflammatory effects, the use of the laser for preventative care, chronic conditions, acute conditions, and post-operative care. This review also introduces copious other articles in a wide variety of other topics involving LLLT. Overall, the benefit of laser therapy is across a wide range of difficult to treat clinical conditions.
