The following information is from Healing Light: Energy Medicine of the Future by Dr. Larry Lytle.
This list is compiled from published international reports describing the successful use of low level laser therapy at various hospitals, private medical offices, university medical schools, and in outpatient settings.
Low level laser therapy:
- Directly applied to the skin is highly effective for bed sores, burns, and ulcerations
- Influences the proliferation of collagen, elastic fibers, and reticular fibers (fibroblasts), and helps in the regeneration of damaged or dysfunctional lymphatic, muscular, and cartilage tissues
- Induces faster healing of post-operative wounds following surgery
- When administered to the appropriate acupuncture points and directly to trauma sites, is highly effective in closing serious wounds such as those suffered during automobile accidents
- Prevents inflammation of the mucous membranes which often results from cancer radiation therapy
- Is quite useful for the reduction of pain and general pain management
- Counteracts the symptoms of neurological disabilities and neuropathy (numbness, burning, tingling, and itching disorders)
- Brings about symptomatic relief from degenerative difficulties, such as peripheral nerve disease and spinal cord injuries
- Reduces the pain and inflammation associated with sports injuries and other traumas
- Diminishes the redness, swelling, pain, and other inflammatory symptoms of arthritis, including osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and gout
- Successfully treats diseases of the ear (including the inner ear), nose, and throat
- Has been useful in diseases specifically affecting men, such as bacterial chronic prostatitis, benign prostatic hyperplasia, prostate cancer, induratio penis plastica, and urethral stenosis
- Has been effectively applied to pediatric problems and gynecological difficulties
- Has proven useful for gastrointestinal diseases, including malignant tumors of the gastrointestinal system
- Is frequently used for many types of dental problems

The example of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome showcases the clinical effectiveness of low level laser therapy; this is especially important because surgery is often the only effective prescription for this very painful condition. The FDA has approved lasers specifically for the relief of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome.
