Can red light therapy help reduce inflammation in arthritic joints?
Yes, reducing inflammation is one of the primary reasons red light therapy is used for dogs with arthritis. Inflammation causes swelling and discomfort inside the joint, which limits movement and increases pain.
Red light therapy may help regulate inflammatory responses by influencing cellular signaling processes. As inflammation decreases, swelling may be reduced and pressure inside the joint may lessen.
Lower levels of inflammation can allow dogs to move their joints more freely and comfortably.
