Red Light Therapy for Knee Osteoarthritis
Knee osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint disease causing cartilage breakdown, pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility. It affects over 250 million people worldwide and is the leading cause of disability in older adults.
Prevalence: Affects approximately 10% of men and 13% of women over age 60
How Red Light Therapy Helps
