Understanding the Biphasic Dose Response in Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) for Nerve Healing

The Biphasic Dose Response is a crucial concept in Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) and other medical treatments, particularly in nerve regeneration and pain relief. This response describes how the right dose of laser therapy can stimulate healing, while excessive or insufficient exposure may have little to no effect—or even inhibit healing.

At Pure Light Chiropractic, we utilize LLLT to stimulate nerve repair, reduce inflammation, and improve Peripheral Neuropathy (PN) symptoms. Understanding the biphasic dose response ensures that patients receive optimal laser therapy dosages for maximum benefit.

What is the Biphasic Dose Response?

The Biphasic Dose Response, also known as the Arndt-Schulz Law, states that low doses of a stimulus (such as laser therapy) enhance biological activity, while high doses inhibit it.

How This Applies to Laser Therapy

• Low to Moderate Doses → Stimulate cellular function, increase ATP production, and promote nerve healing.

• Excessive Doses → Can overstimulate or stress cells, leading to reduced therapeutic benefits.

A study published in the Journal of Photomedicine and Laser Surgery found that LLLT at specific wavelengths (650-980 nm) significantly enhances nerve regeneration, but higher intensities can slow down or block cellular recovery.

Why Proper Dosing Matters in LLLT for Nerve Healing

1. Stimulating Nerve Regeneration

LLLT works by boosting mitochondrial activity, which increases ATP (cellular energy) production, leading to:

• Faster nerve repair

• Reduced inflammation

• Improved blood flow

2. Preventing Treatment Overload

Too much laser exposure can overwhelm cells, leading to:

• Energy depletion

• Increased oxidative stress

• Potential delay in healing

“I have been a patient at Pure Light Chiropractic for the past 6 months. I was treated the traditional way and also laser therapy was used as well. The pain and discomfort I had is now gone.” – Rebecca Sowar (Read Rebecca's neuropathy pain relief review)

How Pure Light Chiropractic Optimizes LLLT for PN Patients

We ensure that each treatment follows the biphasic response principle by:

• Using scientifically backed wavelengths (650-980 nm)

• Applying precise dosages based on nerve condition

• Monitoring patient progress to adjust treatments as needed
