Abstract
Disclosed herein is a method of treating a patient that involves injecting a flowable material into a cancellous bone region of a bone, wherein the material is adapted to facilitate tissue regeneration, and then irradiating the cancellous bone region with an effective amount of NIR/red light. The irradiation may be carried out from a light source located inside the bone. The light may enter the bone via a transmitter located underneath the skin of the patient.
