Frequently Asked Questions


Is this this course based on evidence based medicine?
Photobiomodulation therapy peer-reviewed research is confusing and conflicting. The actual authors of the most influential studies are featured in this course to help dispel fact from fiction.
How much does this course cost?
In short, this course is free for a limited time. The photobiomodulation was created from multiple requests from learners primarily from the Opioid 411 series. Due to the in-depth nature of the treatment modality, we believe that it was crucial to utilize multiple subject matter viewpoints. We also wanted to make the course is entertaining as much as it is informative. In order to provide the course to as many learners as possible to help address the Opioid Crisis issues, we needed production support which has allowed us to provide the course free of charge, at this time.
