Joint pain treatment with cold laser is highly effective as it’s non-invasive, scientifically proven, and has zero side effects. Laser therapy is also known as LLLT or cold laser therapy. It helps in repairing injured tissues, healing wounds, treating arthritis and many other medical conditions.
The human body consists of several joints that are joined together by various tendons, ligaments, cartilage, and muscles which allow proper articulation. Joint pain is one of the frequent complaints we face in our clinics and medical institutes.
Various therapeutic measures can help in treating joint pain but all of them pose some side effects.
Bioflex laser therapy utilizes the light source which generates pure light of a specific wavelength which results in photochemical reactions within the cells. It is a non-invasive procedure that is highly effective for treating various medical conditions including knee joint pain, spine and joint pain due to cold weather.
Many studies have been conducted which show the effect of lasers in treating joint pain. The laser aids in improving the circulation around the inflamed joint supports the health of the cells, releases endorphins that fight against joint pain, reduces inflammation, and enhances the growth of healthy tissues. The use of lasers aid in improved flexion and extension of the joint.
Along with laser therapy, patients are advised with lifestyle measures where you need to avoid postures that result in pain. It is also recommended to avoid incorrect postures.
So, how do the lasers help in treating joint pain at the cellular level? The lasers release photons by the photobiomodulation process where they interact with cytochrome c within mitochondria. This results in a cascade of reactions that enhance the cellular metabolism resulting in reduced pain and inflammation.
Laser therapy is effective in treating both acute and chronic conditions. It is highly efficient when used immediately where it reduces inflammation and enhances the healing process.
Lasers aid in combating persistent pain and allow the patients to restore their normal functions. It results in the release of endorphins which block the painful sensations.
The release of nitric oxide is increased with the help of lasers which in turn causes vasodilation leading to increased blood flow. Bioflex lasers have a wide range of wavelengths which allows them to be used for a versatile range of disorders. This allows the practitioners to treat the patients with customized wavelengths and offer them custom treatment options for a wide range of medical conditions.
The lasers are administered with the handheld device where it permits light of different wavelengths within the deeper tissues. The device is held for a specific time over the skin depending on the area and treatment dosage.
The light energy passes from the skin surface to the deeper tissues where it is absorbed. This energy aids in reducing the level of inflammation and promotes the regeneration of injured tissues.
It is a painless procedure where you’ll feel a tingling sensation during the procedure.
A study was published in 2000 within the journal of rheumatology, which showed that laser therapy improved the functions and joint mobility in patients suffering from rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis by 50-70%.
According to the Cochrane review conducted in 2005, LLLT was assessed in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. It showed that lasers aid in reducing joint pain.
Another study was also conducted in 2008 and 2009, where it showed that lasers helped in treating joint pain.
