Is Low Level Laser Therapy safe?
Low Level Laser Therapy is non-invasive, painless and drug free. It has been used in England, Canada and Europe for over 20 years with no reported side effects. Because LLLT promotes healing and tissue repair, it has been cleared by the FDA for the treatment of musculoskeletal injuries. The Te Center is working with the FDA to study the effects of the laser on nicotine addiction and weight control.
Yes. Cold laser therapy has been used for more than 30 years, is approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for pain management, and causes no known risks or side effects. Low level lasers are used by medical professionals, such as physicians, chiropractors, physical therapists, and occupational therapists, who have undergone special training and are licensed by the state in which they practice. Light energy from low level lasers cannot cause burns or tissue damage. Protective eyewear is worn by the practitioner and the patient to protect the eyes during treatment.
