Description
Low-power laser therapy is a phototherapeutical modality promoted during the last two decades as an effective tool for the treatment of soft tissue injuries, pain, arthritis, and some other conditions. It is gaining widespread international acceptance by clinical professionals, but a certain disparity has arisen between the active work of physicians and the slow progress of laboratory studies ranging from the underlying molecular processes to the relevant photobiology. The book fills this gap and is intended for researchers who need a quick source of reference in laser light-tissue interactions, to physicians working in the field of low-power laser therapy, to graduates preparing to enter professions of laser medicine or photobiology.
