Light and laser therapy stimulates body's tissues to perform better
Light and laser therapy, known as photobiomodulation, can enhance the body's recovery rate from various conditions such as muscle strains, traumatic brain injury, pain from shingles, and rotator cuff tears. It does not involve burning or cutting tissues but instead uses low doses of light to stimulate certain mechanisms in the body's tissues.
