A member asked:
Is laser physiotherapy on back of neck safe when you have thyroid nodules?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No research: On this as far as i can tell. However, i would assume it would be safe to have posterior cervical treatment with thyroid nodules. Whatever energy is deposited in the back of the neck with this treatment would not extend to the region of the thyroid.
