I am diagnosed with syndrome of De Quervain, Tunnel carpal and basal joint artritis. I have been treated with two cortisone infiltrations and one infiltration of viscosupplementaion. I would like to know whether criolaser theraphy would help me in improving basal joint arthritis.

No i do not think that arthrits of any joint can be treated with cryolaser. Cryolaser is a type of symptomatic relief and it provides short term relief from your symptoms but it does not provide long lasting solution.
For arthrits there are only two permanent solution available. First one you should try joint replacement or arthroplasty in which all damage cartilage is replaced by metal.
Other option is that you can go for arthrodesis. In this joints are fused with the help of the bone. This will cause complete pain relief but at the cost of movement. So these are two options out of which can choose according to your choice.
