Short answer
Laser therapy is used here as a comfort and mobility tool for arthritic joints, alongside movement and load management, not instead of them.
The role
Where laser fits in arthritic joint care
Arthritic joints are often stiff, sore after rest, and reactive to changes in activity. Laser therapy is applied to the joint and surrounding tissue as part of a plan aimed at comfort and motion.
It does not reverse the structural change in the joint, and no such claim is made here.
In practice
What a session involves
The handpiece is moved over the area for several minutes. Most people feel gentle warmth and nothing more.
Sessions are usually combined with adjusting, soft tissue work, and specific loading guidance so gains carry over between visits.
