A gentle, drug-free option for arthritis and joint pain.
Photobiomodulation is used to calm joint inflammation, improve mobility and support the tissue changes that drive arthritis pain.
The science
Why light helps arthritic joints
Arthritis is driven by chronic inflammation, cartilage stress and reduced circulation around the joint capsule. 660nm and 808nm light is absorbed by mitochondria in cartilage, synovium and surrounding tissue, boosting ATP, easing oxidative stress and calming inflammatory signalling.
The GigaLaser covers an entire large joint hands-free, without pressure, so treatment is comfortable even during a flare.
