Is Class Iv Deep Tissue Laser Therapy Effective In Relieving Knee Pain?

Hello Doc ! My mom is having knee pain (right leg) for a month. Every year, specially during winter time, she gets such joint pains for at least 10 days. After taking medications, she will get relieved of the pain. This year, it continues in spite of taking medications for more than 10 days An Ortho specialist prescribed medicines like Omez, Zerodol - P and some vitamin capsules. Her symptoms are swelling of joints, specially at her right knee and mild swelling in her toes and finger joints. She is finding so hard to climb staircase. After taking necessary lab tests for arthritis, it was all normal as told by the Ortho specialist. Recently through some of our friends, we heard of Class IV Deep Tissue Laser Therapy which is great for relieving pain at joints. Can you please let me know how the therapy is efficient in relieving joint pain? will it be beneficial to give it a try? Please suggest any herbal or drug therapy as mom is reluctant to go under the knife for a surgery.

Hello! Welcome to HealthcareMagic!

Since you say all test came out normal. I think it's normal knee joint pain which occurs in elderly people. As one ages, a fluid called synovium around knee caps which protects from friction during motion is degenerated. And hence one experiences pain around the knee. I suggest you to get ayurvedic treatment called jaanu basti. In which we try to regenerate the fluid around knee and reducing pain. Laser therapy and any other surgery will not help you much. I won't recommend at least.

Hope this clarifies your concerns. Thank you for contacting us.

Take care

Regards,
Dr. Ganashree S, Ayurveda Specialist
