Understanding the Cellular Mechanisms of Photobiomodulation for Neurodegenerative Diseases

A 2020 review on light therapy mechanisms with neurodegenerative disease is the focus of Dr. Rountree and Kristi’s discussion today. Together they review what neurodegeneration is, what light and laser treatment looks like for neurodegeneration diseases, and the cellular mechanisms and the therapeutic effects we expect to see in relation to these mechanisms. Follow along for information on how and why laser therapy works. Dr. Rountree also has a few cautions and information for light and laser therapy clinics in regards to the use of photobiomodulation for neurodegenerative diseases.
