Effects of 660 nm low-level laser therapy on muscle healing process after cryolesion
Natalia C. Rodrigues, PhD, et al.
Skeletal muscle injuries are often seen in rehabilitation
centers. Although muscle tissue can regenerate
after injury, this usually happens slowly and results in
muscle weakening, pain, and reinjury. Treatments are
needed that will speed up this process and, in doing
so, decrease rehabilitation time and return the patient
to previous functioning as quickly and thoroughly as
possible. Low-level laser therapy (LLLT) is a promising
treatment for skeletal muscle recovery, and
its effectiveness has been demonstrated over the
years. We found that LLLT at two levels positively affected rats’ injured skeletal muscle, speeding up
the muscle-regeneration process.
