Laser Therapy More Effective Than Non Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs
Anti-Inflammatory Drugs Not as Effective as Laser Therapy | Knee Pain Relief Dallas-Fort Worth
A research group from Norway, headed by Dr. Jan M. Bjordal, and published in the British Medical Journal summarizes that non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS), including cyclo-oxygenase-2 inhibitors, reduce short-term pain associated with knee osteoarthritis only slightly better than a placebo.(1)
The findings from a recent Norwegian Health Technology Assessment Report stated that low- laser therapy (cold laser) was actually twice as effective as NSAIDs, if applied correctly with optimal dose and energy. According to the Norwegian Drug Agency, low- laser therapy has earned a top spot in treatment recommendations for patients suffering with osteoarthritis knee pain, due to the unequivocal scientific findings so far, and lasers effectiveness for treating knee pain.
Long term NSAID use is harmful, should be avoided, and is ineffective for osteoarthritis knee pain. If you want relief from arthritis knee pain that is safe, has no side-effects, and is painless then call our office at 214-596-1051 to find out about our Cold Laser Therapy Knee Program.
