The effectiveness of high intensity laser therapy in the management of spinal disorders: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

CONCLUSIONS: HILT is considered as a complementary modality for pain reduction and function improvement in patients with spinal disorders. However, the quality of the body of evidence was rated from 'very low' to 'low' quality. Further high quality trials are required for standardisation of irradiation parameters and the treatment protocol to establish the efficacy of HILT for spinal disorders.
