Light therapy is not helpful in mending broken bones. I recommend a healthy balanced diet with adequate calcium and vitamin D, weight bearing exercise as tolerated which is more likely to help bone healing

Most light therapies are gimmicks or scams and provide no benefit to anyone but the purveyor of the "treatment". This will not heal any fracture. Heed Dr. Hom's advice!!
