Books
There are a number of books published on Low Level Laser Therapy, many of which are excellent. We particularly recommend and can supply the following:
Therapeutic Lasers Theory and Practice, G. David Baxter (2002).
![]() |
“…presents an introduction to the use of the laser as an instrument for clinicians and students. The text outlines the biophysical principles of the actions of lasers and this theory is related to their therapeutic use...Any clinician wanting to include the use of laser as part of clinical practice will find that Therapeutic Lasers provides the essential information required.” |
This is a well-structured book, which clearly defines the different physiological aspects of laser therapy & mechanisms of effect giving a good overview of founding research.
Laser Therapy Clinical Practice and Scientific Background, Jan Tunér and Lars Hode (Reprinted 2004). Hardback and softback handbook editions available.
![]() |
“A guide for research scientists, doctors, dentists, veterinarians and other interested parties within the medical field...Every indication discussed is supported by scientific references and all in all more than 1400 such references are listed.” |
This book is rich with research information presenting the evidence base for a host of different applications as well as a good grounding in general laser therapy background and state of the art.
Low Level Laser as a medical Treatment Modality, Pekka J. Pöntinen
![]() |
“This comprehensive volume provides thorough theoretical and practical information on how to apply low level laser therapy in the treatment of chronic, especially musculoskeletal and myofascial pain and dysfunction, vascular disturbances, wound and ulcer treatment...” |
This will be particularly useful for those seeking a focused, well-illustrated guide for application of laser therapy with less emphasis on providing the research references.
