Abstract
Objective: To review the effects of low intensity laser therapy (LILT) on healing and to explore its role in community nursing.
Setting: Primary care, outpatient clinic, community health centre.
Primary argument: Low intensity laser therapy encompasses many positive attributes that make it a useful healing mechanism in community nursing.
Conclusions: Laser light is non‑invasive, painless, free from side‑effects, and can support vital bio‑regulating processes, particularly in diabetic and neuropathic conditions. The use of LILT for treatment can bring about positive outcomes for patients, families, communities and governments.
