The Bee’s Knees: Laser Therapy and Arthritis
The bad: 80% of people will experience the pain and symptoms of arthritis by the age of 65.
And now, the good: You don’t have to live with the pain of arthritis—and you can treat it with a non-invasive therapy.
No one wants to give up gardening, playing with their grandchildren, volunteering at the local food bank, or even just walking—but arthritis in the knees can make these activities seem nearly impossible. Osteoarthritis of the knee is a common complaint and diagnosis in patients. It’s especially painful and frustrating because it restricts the patient’s ability to move their leg and entire body. Laser therapy can help you feel better faster. A low-level laser light applied to your knee can help lessen swelling and significantly reduce the pain you feel in your knees. Many studies have been done surrounding laser therapy and its benefits when it comes to osteoarthritis patients.
And the results have been outstanding! In particular, one study found that patients needed 11 treatments on average that were each 30-45 minutes long. After the regimen was completed, the therapy improvement rate was over 92%. Other studies have found similar results—especially when paired with acupuncture, physical therapy, and weight loss.
Laser therapy helps your body down to the cellular level. Its benefits include the regeneration of cartilage, DNA synthesis, improved circulation, reduced pain, and reduced inflammation. If you’re experiencing arthritis pain, if it’s stopping you from doing the things you love to do, if you’re ready to take back your life-- give us a call. We’d love to help you get back to you.
