Deep dives

Rheumatoid Arthritis Mechanisms and Laser Therapy

Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disorder characterized by an overreaction of the immune system, resulting in persistent cellular activation and inflammation around the joints. Laser therapy has shown promising results in reducing symptoms and improving the cellular environment. A study from 1989 found that laser treatment for rheumatoid arthritis patients resulted in improved grip strength, decreased swelling, increased hand mobility, and reduced pain. Additionally, laser therapy positively influenced the synovial membrane and immune system, leading to improved biochemistry and overall patient outcomes.
