Show Notes
Today Dr. Rountree and Kristi discuss a 2020 study on laser therapy and its mechanisms of “undoing” inflammatory arthritis and juvenile arthritis. Inflammatory arthritis is just one form of arthritis and it stems from an overabundance of cellular inflammatory signals without proper counterbalance of signaling. Cytokine signaling and T-cell function skew toward inflammation and tissue destruction rather than repair and healing. Laser therapy is an excellent tool for arthritis as it provides cells with photons for energy, stimulating the cellular mechanisms for repair and rejuvenation and reducing the inflammatory over-reaction.
