"Patients should expect to experience an improvement in pain and activity with the treatment. There have been no reports of serious side effects from laser therapy for pain control". With this wording, the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS) has included laser therapy within its guidelines for the treatment of knee joint osteoarthritis. Thanks to the extensive clinical data collected, the AAOS has therefore recommended it to medical practitioners as a therapeutic approach which has proved effective in daily practice.
