Join Dr. Rountree and Kristi as they discuss several studies on laser therapy and how it should be used effectively as part of a patient lymphedema care plan. Lymphatic damage can be caused by many factors, but one of the most common is cancer, particularly breast cancer. Post cancer, lymphedema can cause patients to experience painful extremity swelling which affects their quality of life and can often lead to depression. It is a chronic condition that is difficult to manage with conventional treatments. Laser therapy is a fantastic tool for relieving lymphedema, but only if used properly.

REVIEW: Inflammatory Arthritis and Light Therapy
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.
