Photobiomodulation therapy (PBMT) has been proposed as an alternative for use in managing GSM and SUI. This article reviews the biological basis, symptoms, and management of Genitourinary Syndrome of Menopause (GSM), and investigates the current status and rationale for the use of PBMT to treat these conditions.
It has been reported that phototherapy can be used in combination with physiotherapy exercise to effectively reduce chronic pain in the majority of cases especially in the short term. The added capability of phototherapy to promote tissue healing can enhance physical rehabilitation and may lead to the resolution of MSDs/OA in the longer term.
A review of the applications of low level laser therapy on various soft and hard oral tissues.
Therapeutic lasers work on the cellular level, enhancing the fundamental functions of the cells. This means that any pathological condition theoretically can be improved, if the suitable
wavelength and energy of light is applied. This is the beauty of laser phototherapy, but also the problem: how can one single therapy be used in so many situations?
The ideal tool for preventing radiodermatitis is an agent that mediates DNA repair or promotes cell proliferation. Application of a low-power laser has been shown to promote tissue repair by reducing inflammation and inducing collagen synthesis. Moreover, this treatment approach has not been associated with adverse events and is cost-effective.

I volunteer my light therapy services at adoption events and in return build relationships with pet owners, groomers, trainers, rescue owners and volunteers. The big reward is working with pets looking for their forever homes.
I got up to look in the mirror, and sure enough the inside of my right eye was red and a little swollen. I knew that these were symptoms associated with conjunctivitis (pink eye).
LLLT appears to have a wide range of applications of use in dermatology, especially in indications where stimulation of healing, reduction of inflammation, reduction of cell death and skin rejuvenation are required.
RLT and ELT are large-area and full-body treatment modalities for skin rejuvenation and improvements in skin feeling and skin complexion. The application of RLT and ELT provides a safe, non-ablative, non-thermal, atraumatic photobiomodulation treatment of skin tissue with high patient satisfaction rates.

“Ms Albarracin said that treating the retina with just a few minutes exposure to soft near-infra-red light a day for less than a week had produced a remarkable recovery in damaged photoreceptors (vision cells) which ordinarily would have died. “
LLLT significantly improved visual acuity (p < 0.00001 versus baseline) in 162/182 (95%) of eyes with cataracts and 142/146 (97%) of eyes without cataracts.
The authors conclude that LLLT is a safe and beneficial approach, based on scientifically sound mechanisms of action of red to near-infrared light on cytochrome oxidase, with neurotherapeutic promise for a wide range of ophthalmological, neurological, and psychological conditions.
These findings have important implications for PBM as a potential adjunct therapy to inhibit DR and possibly other degenerative processes. It seems likely that PBM is having beneicial effects on the retina via multiple mechanisms.

In summary, more than 25 years of experience in the use of low incident levels of laser energy for ILBI at 630-640 nm has shown that this waveband directly influences the parameters of all the cells in the blood, the status of the plasma and the blood coagulation system, in addition to all the structural components of the vascular wall.
The studies outlined in this report suggest that NOS is induced during fracture healing in rats and in humans. Systemic inhibition of these enzymes reduced the magnitude of the fracture‐healing response, whereas supplementation of NO to fracture healing augmented the process …
We therefore conclude that low-intensity laser irradiation should be further tested as an additional beneficial therapeutic modality for the healing of gangrene and bone affections in diabetic patients.
Strikingly, the strongest correlate of improvement in core ADHD pathology was a phase advance in circadian preference rather than alleviation of comorbid seasonal affective disorder, suggesting important clinical benefits of LT beyond the treatment of seasonal effective disorder.

Conclusions: Our findings support that PBM may enhance the frontal brain function of older adults in a safe and cost-effective manner.
Ultimately, Alzheimer’s is a disease caused by dysfunctional mitochondria. That’s the reason why near-infrared works. It recharges your mitochondria, and the CCO specifically.
Treatments with light provide additional benefits: less medication is needed than other drug treatments, and there are fewer side effects.
Low level infra-red red is thought to stimulate the growth of cells of all types of tissue and encourage their repair. It is able to penetrate the skin and even get through the skull.
My husband, Clem, was fading away. It is as if he is back” said his wife Vickey Fennell, 55. “His personality has started to show again. We are absolutely thrilled.
It has been known for some time that controlled exposure to red and near-infra-red light can improve wound healing and reduce inflammation through a process known as photobiomodulation — the term for light’s ability to affect key biological processes at a cellular or genetic level.

They discovered that the NO molecule influences every physiological activity of the body and that it is absolutely essential for improving circulation.
I know I’ve saved trips to the doctor and to the veterinarian just by owning a Light Therapy Device.
We know that Red Light will increase nitric oxide (NO), which will vasodialate the blood vessels allowing for more and better circulation.
Therapeutic blue light uses the natural power and qualities of the sunlight, which science now knows is a wavelength between around 400nm and 500nm.
We can now use the good wavelengths (colors is deliverer by wavelengths) and leave out the harmful wavelengths. We has engineered delivery of the beneficial wavelengths from sunlight and modulated it into Low Level Light Therapy technology.
We use light on specific acupuncture to allow the horse to adjust the hyoid apparatus into place.

Low-Level Light Therapy (LLLT) stimulates the process called photobiomodulation (PBM). The end result is an increase in circulation, decrease in pain and an overall feeling of health and wellness.
Light is an essential component to a healthy human lifestyle. It not only powers the plants we rely on to produce oxygen, it supports the entire food chain that ensures we enjoy a healthy life as human beings. As we’ve evolved in a technological sense, human beings are spending more time indoors, exposed nearly constantly to digital device screens, powered …

Photopuncture™: Using a Light Therapy device with a focused beam (sold as Torches, hand held Lights, etc.) to specifically activate energy points (aka acupoints) along the acupuncture meridians.
This beautiful boy is a 6 year old testimony for Light Therapy. 2 years ago he was in the top 5 Cardigan Corgis in the US when he went to Canada to get his Intl. Championship. While on the trip back, he tore his ACL badly. The local vet immediately called for surgery to knit the 2 ends of the ACL together. However, his owner knew that surgery would shorten his stride on that side.
So we over-nighted a light therapy wrap to Montana, and she began lighting up both hind legs twice a day. When she got back to Tucson, he also got swim therapy on a regular basis. Within the year he was back on top. Here he is winning a Group 1! (die hard dog show people know what that means).
Being an Acupuncturists sounds like a perfect job, right? The flexibility of being self-employed, the supreme role of actually helping people and at times, maybe even saving them since they have tried everything else with no desirable results. But how about the flip side to this profession- what can possibly go wrong? I can tell you, lots of things! The …
