Laser therapy repairs on a cellular level.

Targets inflammation in knee joints and surrounding tissue.

Increases cellular energy (ATP) to support tissue repair.

Improves blood flow, accelerating recovery and reducing stiffness.

“Laser therapy is exceptionally well documented at the cellular level. When applied at the right wavelength, it stimulates mitochondrial activity, increases ATP production, and supports natural healing processes that can be measured and demonstrated in the lab.”

Scott Sigman, MD Orthopedic Surgeon Chief Medical Officer and Founder of OrthoLazer

“I genuinely believe an integrated treatment strategy using laser therapy—both after surgery and during conservative care—can dramatically impact recovery.”

Ryan Krupp, MD Orthopedic Surgeon OrthoLazer Surgeon Advisory Board Member

“In my practice, I’ve seen how integrating laser therapy into a treatment plan can help patients regain strength and mobility faster—often with less reliance on narcotics and other medications.”

Asheesh Gupta, MD Orthopedic Surgeon OrthoLazer Surgeon Advisory Board Member

“By applying laser therapy before a physical therapy session, we can significantly reduce pain and the pro-inflammatory cytokines that contribute to swelling.”

Mark Klaassen, MD Orthopedic Surgeon OrthoLazer Surgeon Advisory Board Member

“As part of my post-operative care, I encourage all of my patients to receive OrthoLazer PBM Therapy, the most advanced laser therapy, which helps patients recover faster from surgery by accelerating the body's natural healing response.”

William Pennington, MD Orthopedic Surgeon OrthoLazer Surgeon Advisory Board Member

“There is a growing body of evidence supporting the use of PBMT in musculoskeletal and orthopedic settings, and it is widely used in sports medicine to support recovery and rehabilitation. I have found it to be a valuable addition in helping athletes stay on track during the recovery process. ”

Ronak Patel, MD Orthopedic Surgeon OrthoLazer Surgeon Advisory Board Member

“In our patients that use laser therapy post surgery they come in with significantly less pain, swelling, bruising.”

TOP FAQS FROM OUR PATIENTS

Everything You Need to Know Before Your First Visit

We know you may have questions about OrthoLazer PBM Therapy works, what to expect, and if it’s right for you.

What is laser therapy?

OrthoLazer PBM Therapy is an advanced form of laser therapy that treats pain and inflammation. Our exclusive Class IV lasers are designed to treat musculoskeletal conditions and can reach deeper structures like tissues, ligaments, and joints for optimal healing. Treatments are non-invasive and painless.

How does it work?

Our exclusive Class IV lasers are designed to activate the body’s natural healing process by stimulating the mitochondria through a cellular process known as photobiomodulation. At the cellular level, this stimulation enhances circulation, reduces inflammation, and accelerates tissue repair. The final result is faster, natural recovery without the need for drugs or surgery.

How long does treatment take?

Treatment sessions are guided by our certified laser technicians and typically last between five and fifteen minutes, depending on your condition.

How can laser therapy help with knee pain?

Laser therapy is a non-invasive knee pain treatment designed to reduce inflammation, increase circulation, and stimulate cellular repair. By targeting damaged tissue at the source, it supports natural healing and provides long-term knee pain relief without drugs or surgery.

Why is my knee pain getting worse over time?

When knee pain is left untreated, inflammation and tissue degeneration can compound. Over time, this can lead to stiffness, swelling, and limited mobility. Early knee therapy for pain can interrupt that cycle and promote recovery before the condition worsens.

What makes laser therapy effective for knee pain relief?

Unlike treatments that only mask symptoms, laser therapy works at the cellular level. It increases ATP production, enhances tissue repair, and reduces inflammation — which can lead to lasting knee pain relief rather than temporary symptom suppression.

Why are my knees painful even when I’m not active?

Knee pain that persists at rest may indicate chronic inflammation, cartilage irritation, or soft tissue strain. Laser therapy supports deep tissue healing and can help reduce discomfort whether your pain is activity-based or constant.

Can laser therapy help with pain behind the knee?

Yes. Pain behind the knee is often related to inflammation, tendon strain, Baker’s cysts, or circulation issues. Laser therapy improves blood flow and reduces inflammation in the affected tissues, which can help relieve pain behind the knee naturally.

What causes pain on the outside of the knee and can it be treated without surgery?

Pain on the outside of the knee is commonly associated with IT band syndrome, ligament strain, or joint inflammation. Laser therapy targets these tissues directly, helping reduce swelling and accelerate repair without invasive procedures.

What helps back-of-knee pain when stretching and rest don’t work?

Back-of-knee pain that doesn’t improve with rest may indicate deeper inflammation or tissue damage. Laser therapy penetrates below the surface to stimulate healing in tendons, ligaments, and joint structures contributing to back-of-knee pain.

Is laser therapy a good knee pain treatment alternative to injections or surgery?

Yes. For many patients, laser therapy serves as a conservative knee pain treatment option before considering injections or surgery. It’s non-invasive, requires no downtime, and works with your body’s natural healing processes.

How does laser therapy for knee pain actually work at the cellular level?

Laser therapy delivers specific wavelengths of light that penetrate tissue and stimulate mitochondria within cells. This increases ATP production, reduces inflammation, and enhances tissue repair — making it an effective knee therapy for pain rooted in tissue damage.

How much does laser therapy cost?

The cost of laser therapy varies depending on severity, treatment plan length, and the number of sessions needed. During your consultation, we’ll assess your knee pain and create a personalized plan. Many patients find it more affordable long-term than injections or surgery.

Can I use my HSA on laser therapy for my knee?

In many cases, yes. Laser therapy for knee pain treatment may qualify as an eligible medical expense under HSA or FSA plans. We recommend checking with your provider, but we can provide documentation if needed.

How many sessions will I need for knee pain relief?

Treatment plans vary depending on the cause and severity of your knee pain. Some patients notice improvement within a few sessions, while chronic conditions may require a structured treatment plan over several weeks.

Who is a good candidate for laser knee pain treatment?

You may be a good candidate if you experience:

Arthritis-related knee pain
Sports injuries
Pain behind the knee or back-of-knee pain
Pain on the outside of the knee from overuse
Chronic knee stiffness or pain
