did not find anything of significance, the researchers will say that this could have been because they did not know what parameters should be used. It seemed to me that none of the research was 100% sure what the parameters should be. This made it really hard to figure out what my parameters should be in my own research. In fact Fung, (2002) reports that to the best of the researcher’s knowledge, there is no reported study that examined the best dosage to use. The controversy among the previous studies may be due to the difference in treatment dosages, and there is no consensus on what should be the “optimal” dosage for therapeutic laser. As a result of this I used the parameters set forth by Whelan and NASA (2003). When looking at the best ways to carry out LT as a therapeutic modality, I wanted to make certain what other modality I should use in conjunction with the LT in order to give the most effective treatment. Through my research I found that when used in conjunction with cryotherapy (ice), it is best to perform LT after cryotherapy. The rationale is that with cryotherapy there will be a vasoconstriction of local blood vessels and a reduction in the amount of tissue perfusion, which will allow for an increased depth of penetration secondary to the decreased superficial absorption. Conversely, it is better to use LT before using any heating modalities due to the fact that the heating modalities will increase blood flow to the area, and in turn increase tissue perfusion and then decrease the depth of LT penetration as a result of increased superficial absorption by hemoglobin (McLeod, 2004). When researching light therapy I found that much study had been done on LT; however, in most of the research the researchers were just trying to see what kind of effect the LT would have on a condition. What most researchers found was that LT 12PDF Image | Light Therapy on Pain and Swelling vs Collegiate Athletes
