February 15 is National Flag of Canada Day. PainScience is a proudly Canadian small business, selling e-books and other educational content about pain and injury since the mid-2000s. Read more about the project. Given Trump’s tariff bullying and threats to annex America’s greatest historical friend, ally, and trading partner, I think I’ll keep this flag up for the rest of the month… or perhaps permanently.

One page on PainSci cites Anders 2015: Cold Laser Therapy Reviewed

PainSci commentary on Anders 2015: ?This page is one of thousands in the PainScience.com bibliography. It is not a general article: it is focused on a single scientific paper, and it may provide only just enough context for the summary to make sense. Links to other papers and more general information are provided wherever possible.

Short editorial arguing that “photobiomodulation therapy [as opposed to several other names, like low-level laser therapy] is an accurate and specific term for this effective and important application of light.” The authors clearly are True Believers in photobiomodulation therapy, and I wouldn’t trust their judgement on its efficacy, but I think their argument about naming is just fine as far as it goes.
