BioFlex Cold Laser Therapy proves to be very effective in relieving the pain of osteoarthritis in the knee joint. The treatment is natural, non-invasive, non-toxic, painless, and no significant negative side effects have been reported.
Cold Laser Therapy:
- Stimulates the cells in and around the knee joint to regenerate joint cartilage
- Eliminates the cause of pain by reducing inflammation in the targeted area
- Recovers normal joint mobility by reducing overall stiffness
To learn more about BioFlex Cold Laser Therapy, take a look at the clinical study on osteoarthritis in the knee:
- Pain, usually coming on gradually
- Stiffness and/or swelling
- Limited range of motion
- Pain may be worse in the morning or after being inactive

- Level of discomfort may be affected by changes in weather
Knee arthritis is common in older individuals, however it can occur in young adults as well. It may develop from wear and tear, a previous injury, genetic predisposition, being overweight or from other diseases.
Osteoarthritis is a degenerative condition where the cartilage and joint surfaces of the knee are broken down over time, causing inflammation, pain and swelling. The degeneration eventually results in bone on bone grinding and permanent bone changes that also affect the soft tissues surrounding the knee.
Because of the structural changes in the knee, the way the joint moves also changes, causing the muscles to compensate and alter the way they function. Some muscles may get very stiff and tight, while other may get overstretched (strained), contributing to the discomfort felt in the knee. The pain associated with arthritis is more commonly from surrounding soft tissue changes as well as associated swelling in and around the joint, rather than from the bones themselves. This means that many of the symptoms from arthritis can actually be controlled and treated without major interventions such as surgery.
