The most common type of arthritis we see at LaserTech is Degenerative or Osteo-Arthritis. This condition causes chronic pain in the knees, shoulders, spine, hips, ankles, wrists, fingers, etc. To best understand this condition, we need to break it down into two parts: Degeneration and Arthritis.

Degeneration is caused by the breaking down of tissues. Most often it affects the connective tissue with minimal circulation, such as the cartilage in the joints and the spinal discs. Our treatment goals are to slow down, stop, and possibly reverse the speed and amount of breakdown of the involved tissues instead of just numbing the pain. Our multi-level lasers have been valuable in accomplishing these goals by increasing energy in the cells, thereby accelerating their capacity to heal.

Arthritis is a term that means inflammation of the joints. Acute inflammation is healthy but long- termed chronic inflammation is detrimental. Most of our out patients have tried to relieve this part of their degenerative arthritis with cortisone injections, only to find out they didn't work, or were temporary with side effects. Our treatment goals are to help resolve the chronic inflammation. We have seen numerous patients which have failed at other types of care, but have responded very well with our lasers.

Ultimately, if you want to positively affect your quality of life, we feel it is best to go after the degeneration and arthritis with treatment. This is why people from all over the Valley come to LaserTech for T.R.U.E. Pain Relief.
