Low level laser therapy (LLLT) aims to photo-biostimulate the cells. This therapy actually excites the cells. A low level laser device transmits photons. The skin then absorbs these photons. At most, these laser devices can penetrate down in the body's tissue to roughly 3 inches in depth. Take note that this does not cause heat or damage tissues. These beams do promote a lot of cellular activities. Since there is a higher production of cells, LLLT will help in speeding up the healing process while it eases the pain felt by the body.

Also, since the low level laser helps in producing collagen, this prevents the formation of scar tissues. Laser therapy will help speed up the healing process by an average of at least 50% — with no side effects.

Conditions treated with the laser include plantar fasciitis (with a very high success rate), arthritis especially in painful finger joints, locking finger joints, TMJ, frozen shoulders, knee problems, etc.

A laser is also used with children instead of needles as they respond really well to these treatments without the fear of having a needle inserted in them.
