We discuss the biologic rationale for PBMT, changes in serum and synovial fluid cytokines, and whether these findings move PBMT closer to being considered a disease-modifying intervention rather than simply a symptomatic treatment. \nhttps://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12972950/#sec1-2\n\nFerreira, Nathalia Lopes et al. “Photobiomodulation Therapy Modulates Inflammatory and Cartilage Biomarkers in Patients with Knee Osteoarthritis: A Pilot Case Series.” Journal of orthopaedic case reports vol. 16,3 (2026): 315-321. doi:10.13107/jocr.2026.v16.i03.6980\nYouTube Channel\nView the many other episodes and videos available here Laser Therapy Institute\nFurther Resources:Success with Laser Therapy Flowchart & Checklist Infographic\nCheck out these FREE Provider Resources\nRead about laser research on the LTI Blog\nLearn more about what we offer on the LTI website\nFind out how you can Customize your LTI experience","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/1qwOgIZPxZx9TwXyuOSJ8INFHN-pkTMP6egAzxdyRTo/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9zaG93/LzYzMTQvMTYzNDky/MzEzMC1hcnR3b3Jr/LmpwZw.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
