5.0 out of 5 stars A best buy for a low level laser therapy text., August 9, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Therapeutic Lasers: Theory and Practice, USA Version, 1e (Hardcover)

Dr. Baxter has put together a concise text on low level laser therapy (LLLT). This book covers the history of light as a therapy from its first recorded uses to our present day laser treatments. Some basic treatment recommendations are discussed in this book. The majority of the text deals with current topics in LLLT as it makes its way into main stream medicine. For the price this book is a best buy.
