What is a potential effect of applying LLLT according to the Arndt-Shultz law?

The Arndt-Schultz law posits that low levels of energy application, such as through low-level laser therapy (LLLT), can stimulate biological processes and enhance cellular functions, whereas high levels of energy may inhibit them or cause damage. This principle is fundamental in understanding how certain treatments can promote healing and recovery at the cellular level.

In the context of LLLT, applying low levels of laser energy boosts local tissue metabolism, which facilitates improved blood circulation, nutrient delivery, and waste removal from cells. This increase in metabolic activity can lead to enhanced cell proliferation and tissue repair, making it a valuable tool in therapeutic settings, such as pain management and wound healing.

Other options do not align with the principles outlined by the Arndt-Schultz law. For example, stronger antibiotics, increased inflammation, and thermal damage to surrounding tissues typically result from higher energy exposure or inappropriate treatment levels, which are contrary to the desired effects of low-level laser therapy.
