Why PBMT Works—And Why It Matters to Your Patients

Updated at October 21st, 2025

Behind every successful OrthoLazer treatment is a powerful biological process: Photobiomodulation Therapy (PBMT). As you prepare to guide patients through post-op recovery, acute injuries, or chronic pain, it’s critical to understand—and be able to confidently explain—how and why laser therapy works to significantly impact cellular healing.

What Happens at the Cellular Level?

MLS Laser Therapy delivers synchronized dual-wavelength light (808nm + 905nm) directly to damaged tissue. This energy penetrates deep and is absorbed by mitochondria, sparking a cascade of beneficial cellular effects:

  •  Boosts ATP production to power tissue repair
  •  Reduces inflammation and pain by modulating inflammatory mediators
  •  Improves blood flow, lymphatic drainage, and oxygenation
  •  Stimulates collagen synthesis and accelerated healing

This is what makes PBMT effective across a wide range of conditions—whether a patient is healing from surgery, managing an acute injury, or navigating long-standing chronic pain.

Tap Into the Science

The strength of PBMT is backed by a growing body of clinical research. We’ve curated the most relevant, specialty-specific studies in our digital resource library:
