A literature review and meta-analysis of randomized placebo or active-treatment controlled trials concludes that low-level laser therapy "reduces pain immediately after treatment in acute neck pain and up to 22 weeks after completion of treatment in patients with chronic neck pain" and compares favorably with other forms of therapy for neck pain - particularly pharmacological interventions. The authors of the review study, published in the Lancet, note that clinical benefits take place when laser therapy is administered as a stand-alone treatment or in conjunction with an exercise/stretching program, and that adverse effects from treatment are mild and similar to placebo.

Parker College of Chiropractic and Erchonia Medical recently announced that all Parker students are now required to take a low-level laser class as part of their core curriculum. The course enables students to learn about laser technology and features an internship component whereby students can treat patients with low-level laser therapy at the Erchonia Laser Healthcare Center on the Parker campus. The ribbon-cutting ceremony for the laser center took place on Nov. 2, 2009. The new facility offers the latest Erchonia laser technology in addition to a clinical setting for students to treat patients under the direction of qualified clinicians.

The laser was theorized by Einstein in 1917 and invented by Maiman in 1960. Its unique property of light waves being coherent in space and in time led many to theorize that it could be a damaging form of electromagnetic radiation. Dr. Endre Mester conducted experiments on mice afflicted with skin cancer in 1967 and found that shaved areas grew hair more rapidly when exposed to low levels of laser light.
