Cold Laser Therapy is Found to Reverse the Inflammatory Process of Arthritis, and Increase Biosynthesis of Cartilage
A new study analyzed the effects of cold laser therapy on chronic knee arthritis induced in rats using hydroxyapetite (gives rise to rheumatism and is found in over 20% of joints with osteoarthritis)and calcium pyrophosphate (this provokes chondrocalcinosis)crystals. Scientists separated 56 rats equally into seven groups:
Group A was a control group.
Group B was injected with HP (hydroxyapetite) for two weeks.
Group C was injected with HP and was treated with laser.
Group D was injected with CaPP (calcium pyrophosphate) for two weeks.
Group E was injected with CaPP and treated with laser.
Group F was injected with a physiologic solution.
Group G was only treated with laser and NOT injected at all.
Scientists collected and examined tissue samples from the knee joint using light microscopy. The results of this study found that Group C and Group E, the rats that were induced with arthritis and were treated with laser for two weeks, had an increase in the biosynthesis of cartilage, the inflammatory process was reversed, and that the arthritic process was slowed down. Scientists also noticed that structural alterations in the knee joint that developed due to arthritis significantly diminished after the cold laser treatments.
The other two groups, Group G (which had laser alone but did not have any injections), and Group F, (the group that was injected with physiologic solution) produced no histological tissue changes. This finding is important because it indicates that cold laser therapy only affects and treats damaged tissue and doesn’t affect a healthy joint. It also indicates that the injections had nothing to do with the positive results of the study.1
This study proves , yet again, that Cold laser therapy is a viable treatment for those seeking a non-invasive treatment option to reduce the adverse effects of arthritis, and don’t want the adverse effects typically seen with ‘conventional medical treatments’.
