PBMT has been studied extensively in over 500 published double-blind, randomly-controlled studies and over 5,000 laboratory studies. Experts have shown that Photobiomodulation therapy is dose dependent, meaning the dosage of light (wavelength + exposure time) determines the outcome.
PBMT has profound positive effects with proper dosage on a wide variety of conditions, such as the following:
- Arthritis
- Nerve pain and nerve regeneration
- Tendinopathies
- Soft tissue healing
- Musculoskeletal pain
- Sleep disturbances
- Anxiety and depression
- Improved muscle performance and recovery
Recent studies show that PBMT is also effective in improving athletic performance. PBMT can increase exercise capacity, resulting in longer exercise times; additionally, PBMT can speed up recovery by reducing production of lactic acid, creatine kinase, and c-reactive protein.
