Have you seen this study? Low level light therapy has so many benefits including helping with thyroid issues. Our Erchonia laser is available for supportive therapy at Revive Health & Wellness
Low-level laser therapy (LLLT), also called photobiomodulation, uses near-infrared light (about 600–1100 nm) to stimulate cellular processes without producing heat. Research reviewed in the 2022 article in the Journal of Lasers in Medical Sciences reported that LLLT can reduce inflammation in the thyroid gland, decrease oxidative stress, and improve blood circulation. These biological effects may help limit immune-mediated damage in autoimmune thyroiditis, a condition in which the immune system attacks thyroid tissue and leads to hypothyroidism.
Clinical studies cited in the review showed measurable improvements in patients. In a randomized placebo-controlled trial of 23 patients, LLLT sessions twice a week for five weeks significantly improved thyroid hormone levels (T3, T4, TSH) and 22 patients required lower doses of levothyroxine during a 9-month follow-up. Another study reported that 78% of patients experienced normalization of autoimmune responses after four months of LLLT, along with reduced thyroid gland size. Long-term follow-up research lasting up to six years also suggested the therapy is safe and may reduce medication requirements while improving thyroid function and vascularization.
