Low level laser therapy (LLLT) or sometimes referred to as cold laser therapy is a common modality used by health care practitioners to treat a wide variety of conditions one of which is low-back pain. Low level laser therapy is a non-invasive light source treatment generated through a hand-held device that emits no heat, sound or vibration. The laser is placed directly over the injured area and can be held on for varying times depending on the dose and size of the area being treated. Low level laser therapy has the ability to stimulate all cell types including muscle, ligament, cartilage and nerves therefore, it is used in the treatment of a number of musculoskeletal disorders such a low-back pain. Low level laser therapy is believed to accelerate connective tissue repair and act as an anti-inflammatory agent.
