Intraarticular Laser
In the case of this technique, a sterile catheter is used as a guide through which an optical fiber is introduced, allowing for the direct application of the laser beam into the joint. Consequently, damaged structures (nerves, cartilage, bones, etc.) are directly exposed to radiation.
In the case of chronic and treatment-resistant conditions, a significant decrease in the intensity of pain sensation is observed, and, especially, a stimulation of local tissue regeneration.
Intra-articular
Laser Therapy
treats
- Knee joint osteoarthritis
- Hip joint osteoarthritis
- Chronic shoulder syndrome
- Ankle joint arthritis
and many other degenerative joint diseases.
The intra-articular technique achieves penetration depths of up to 12 cm and, therefore, it yields better therapeutic results compared to external laser application.
Unlike external laser therapy, this method also allows the application of green, blue, and yellow lasers deep within the tissue (for example, to reduce inflammation).
For optimal results, laser therapy can be successfully combined with other injection therapies (e.g., PRP or hyaluronic acid). Injection and irradiation can be administered through the same cannula with a single puncture.
Degenerative severe gonarthrosis therapy of the knee joint with Weberneedle® Endo Laser
Intra-articular injection of hyaluronic acid and direct irradiation of the joints are combined to achieve pain reduction and lasting regeneration of damaged cartilage.
The puncture site is in the lower lateral recess of the knee joint. The treatment duration is 20 minutes.

Advanced coxarthrosis laser therapy with Weberneedle® Endo Laser
Treatment for hip joint wear with nearly complete joint stiffness. To avoid surgery, the hip joint capsule is irradiated with red laser. For this purpose, an interstitial Weberneedle® needle is inserted 2 cm above the greater trochanter at a depth of approximately 7-8 cm in projection onto the hip joint capsule.

Treatment of chronic shoulder syndrome with Weberneedle® Endo Laser
Using the red laser, the painful area in the anterior bursa is irradiated interstitially directly from the inside to a depth of approximately 2 cm.
Effects of
different
laser colors
applied
intra-articularly
-
Red - 635 nm
- ATP increase
- Improvment of immunologic activity
- Enhancement of immunoglobulin production
- Reduction of pathologic circulating immune complexes and reduction of CRP in patients with acute and chronic inflammations
- Stimulation of interleukin-1-alpha, interleukin 8, TNF-alpha and Interferon-gamma (wound healing)
- Stimulation of interleukin-1-alpha, interleukin 8, TNF-alpha and Interferon-gamma (wound healing)
- Activation of phagocytic activity of macrophages in combination with structural modifications
- Increase of lymphocyte activity: Rise in number of lymphocytes and positive effects on helper T cells and suppressor T cells
- Positive effects on rheological properties of blood
- Increase of cell activity and microcirculation
- Increase of oxygen amount in the blood
- Stimulation of metabolism
- Calming of nerves and heart rhythm
- Muscle relaxation
- Fat reduction and cholesterol reduction
-
Green - 532 nm
- Improvement of function and cell elasticity of erythrocytes
- Stimulation of sodium-potassium ATPase activity
- Increase of Fibroblast growth and improvement of glucose metabolism
- Improvement of blood viscosity
- Improved circulation and oxygen supply
- Activation of repair processes
-
Blue - 405 nm and 447 nm
- The blue laser is utilized against inflammatory processes because it is proven that it has very strong anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory effects
- Reduction of cholesterol , triglycerides and bilirubin
- Improvment of immunologic activity
- Enhancement of NO production (NO= Nitric Oxide) which leads to better microcirculation
- Activation of telomerase (Anti Aging effects)
- Wound healing
- Improvement of oxygen utilization in the tissue
-
UV - 375 nm
UV light irradiation has the following effects that strengthen the immune system and thereby the whole organism:
- Improves the oxygen absorption in tissue
- Prevents the replication of viruses, bacteria and fungi
- Prevents blood platelet aggregation
- Improves blood circulation by dilating blood vessels
- Improves the body’s ability to detoxify and eliminate toxins
- Activates cortisone-like molecules (sterols) in vitamin
- Restores normal size and mobility of lipid elements
-
Yellow - 589 nm
- Mood-enhancing effects especially in combination with hypericin (natural antidepressant) by stimulation of serotonin and vitamin D metabolism
- Therapy of panic attacks and anxiety disorder
- Detoxifying effects
