Photobiomodulation Therapy in Knee pain
Knee pain is a common problem that affects people of all ages. It can make daily activities like walking, climbing stairs, sitting, or standing difficult and painful.From athletes and working professionals to older adults, knee discomfort can significantly limit mobility, independence, and quality of life .Understanding its causes and exploring modern, non-surgical treatment options like Photobiomodulation Therapy (PBM) can help individuals regain comfort and function safely and effectively.
What Is Knee Pain?
Knee pain means discomfort, stiffness, swelling, or pain in or around the knee joint. It can start suddenly after an injury or develop slowly over time due to aging or overuse. Since the knee supports most of our body weight, it is more likely to get affected.
Common Causes of Knee Pain:
Knee pain can arise from a variety of conditions, including:
- Osteoarthritis – Degeneration of cartilage due to aging or overuse
- Rheumatoid arthritis – Autoimmune joint inflammation affecting the joint
- Sports injuries – Ligament tears (ACL, MCL), meniscus injuries, or tendon strain
- Patellofemoral pain syndrome – Pain around the kneecap, common in runners
- Bursitis or tendinitis – Inflammation of soft tissues
- Post-surgical pain – After knee replacement or arthroscopic procedures
- Obesity or poor posture – Increased stress on the knee joint
How Photobiomodulation Therapy Helps:
Photobiomodulation Therapy (PBM), also known as low-level laser or red and near-infrared light therapy, is a non-invasive treatment that uses specific wavelengths of light to stimulate healing at the cellular level.
PBM helps knee pain by:
- Reducing inflammation in the joint and surrounding tissues
- Relieving pain by calming nerve sensitivity
- Improving blood circulation, delivering more oxygen and nutrients
- Accelerating tissue repair and cartilage support
- Enhancing joint mobility and function
The light energy penetrates deep into the knee tissues and stimulates mitochondria (the energy centers of cells), promoting faster healing and natural pain relief—without medications or injections.
Who Can Benefit from This Therapy?
Photobiomodulation therapy is helpful for:
- People with early to moderate knee arthritis
- Patients with chronic knee pain
- Athletes recovering from knee injuries
- Elderly individuals with joint stiffness
- Patients seeking non-surgical pain relief
How Many Sessions Are Needed?
The number of sessions depends on the severity of pain: Each session is short, painless, and comfortable.
