Can Cold Laser Therapy Treat Arthritis?

Cold laser therapy can be used to treat a vast majority of musculoskeletal injuries as well as inflammation of joints. Considering arthritis is a condition that causes painful inflammation and stiffness of joints, the cold laser therapy is a perfect alternative treatment for all types of arthritis. The cold laser therapy treats arthritis in various joints by reducing inflammation and bruising to increase the joints mobility. Arthritis is caused by a reduced amount of cartilage in the joint cavity of a subject and causes a significant amount of pain, swelling and stiffness because the bones are forced to rub together. Treatment of arthritis using the cold laser therapy has shown substantial results as it has been found to build up the lost cartilage, as it restores cells damaged in tissues and improve the strength of the joint gradually with repeated visits. Cold Laser therapy can be used to treat the following cases of arthritis:

• Glenohumeral Joint Osteoarthritis: Promotes relief during active movements and increases strength. Usually takes 5-6 visits for the greatest benefit
• Hip Joint Arthritis: Builds strength; however unlike Glenohumeral osteoarthritis, no less than 15 treatments with daily visits is required for the patient to gain full relief
• Knee Joint Arthritis: Reduces the firing of nociceptors and modulate the inflammatory response for a faster healing time
• Rheumatoid Arthritis: Is a disease in which the body’s immune system attacks its own healthy tissues. Cold laser therapy increases pain relief naturally and reduces the reliance on other damaging treatments. The cold laser therapy is used to manage joint swelling and range of motion and relieves the patient pain faster than the other types as two cold lasers can be applied on both sides of the inflamed area at one point in time.

Cold Laser therapy is an effective treatment for patients suffering with all types of arthritis. The non-invasive therapy is used to reduce inflammation/ swelling of joints and reduce stiffness by increasing the joins range of motion.
