Arthritis
Photobiomodulation therapy (PBM) is especially effective for severe or treatment-resistant rheumatoid arthritis. It halts the progression of the disease and facilitates daily life activities.
Arthritis is characterized by the inflammation and increased sensitivity of one or more joints.
There are several types of arthritis, but the most common forms are osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.
Osteoarthritis:
It is the most common form of arthritis and occurs when the cartilage covering the joints wears away over time. This can happen due to aging, injuries, or genetic factors.
Rheumatoid arthritis:
It is an autoimmune disease in which the immune system attacks the joints, causing inflammation, pain, and eventually joint damage.
Common symptoms of arthritis include joint pain, swelling, stiffness, and difficulty moving the affected joints. The severity of arthritis can vary, and in some cases, it can negatively impact a person’s quality of life. Treatment varies based on the type and severity of arthritis and may include medications, physical therapy, and lifestyle changes.
