Abstract

Objective: To review the effects of low intensity laser therapy (LILT) on healing and to explore its role in community nursing. Setting: Primary care, outpatient clinic, community health centre Primary argument: Low intensity laser therapy encompasses many positive attributes that make it a useful healing mechanism in community nursing. Conclusions: Laser light is non-invasive, painless, free from side-effects, and can support vital bio-regulating processes, particularly in diabetic and neuropathic conditions. The use of LILT for treatment can bring about positive outcomes for patients, families, communities and governments.
