Besides the pain release, the regenerative effects of the laser needle irradiation in bone and cartilage tissue are here of particular importance. Osteonecrotic bone areas are regenerated to a great extent by direct laser needle irradiation (Morbus Ahlbäck, Morgus Osgood Schlatter).8 The laser needle irradiation enhances significantly the metabolism of osteoblast cells, without influencing the osteclast cell activity. 6 As the result, the bone production-reduction equilibrium is shifted to the bone tissue producing side and an increased mineralisation is induced. Cartilage tissue is stabilised (Fibrinogen, Collagen), and the synthesis of hyaluron acid and proteoglycanes is increased. 7

​

The application principle is very simple:

• The laser needles are arranged along the affected articular gap or the osteonecrotic area.

• The optimum treatment time is of about 30 min

• The treatments must be repeated 2 treatments per week in the beginning.

• Excellent results will be achieved in the treatment of tendinitis. This opens new possibilities to reduce the medication, to reduce the side effects and to prevent surgical interventions.

• Usually 5–20 treatments are necessary to induce long- standing regenerative effects.
