Knee pain is something many people simply accept as part of getting older—but it doesn’t have to be that way. If you’re living with knee osteoarthritis (OA), you know how much it can affect your quality of life. Everyday activities like walking, climbing stairs, or getting out of a chair can become difficult and painful. At Worthing Osteopathic & Wellbeing Clinic, we offer laser therapy as a safe, non-invasive option to help reduce pain, support healing, and improve joint function—without the need for medication or surgery.
What Is Knee Osteoarthritis?
Knee osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint condition caused by the gradual breakdown of cartilage in the knee joint. Cartilage acts as a cushion between the bones. As it wears down, the bones begin to rub together, leading to:
- Pain and stiffness
- Swelling and inflammation
- Reduced range of motion
- Clicking or grinding sensations
- Muscle weakness around the knee
OA is often caused by age-related wear and tear, but it can also result from previous injuries, repetitive stress, obesity, or genetic predisposition.
While it’s a progressive condition, early and effective treatment can slow its development and significantly reduce symptoms.
What Is Laser Therapy?
Laser therapy has been shown to not only speed up recovery of damaged tissues, but to increase the amount of collagen production, which means the repaired tissue is stronger.
There is a vast amount of evidence to support K.Laser and it has been shown to help with conditions like osteoarthritis. It is a non-invasive treatment that uses specific wavelengths of light to stimulate tissue repair, reduce inflammation, and relieve pain.
The light energy from the laser penetrates deeply into the tissues and is absorbed by cells, which then respond with a series of healing and anti-inflammatory processes.
Laser therapy is safe, painless, and drug-free, making it a popular option for people seeking long-term relief without side effects.
How Can Laser Therapy Help with Knee Osteoarthritis?
At Worthing Osteopathic & Wellbeing Clinic, we use laser therapy as part of a comprehensive approach to managing knee osteoarthritis. The benefits of laser for OA include:
✅ Pain Relief
Laser therapy stimulates the release of natural pain-relieving chemicals in the body, such as endorphins, helping to reduce discomfort even in chronic cases.
✅ Reduced Inflammation
Laser light reduces swelling and inflammation around the joint, which is one of the key drivers of stiffness and pain in OA.
✅ Improved Joint Function
By supporting tissue repair and decreasing inflammation, laser therapy can help restore more natural movement and flexibility in the knee.
✅ Accelerated Healing
Laser encourages the production of ATP (cellular energy), promoting faster healing of surrounding soft tissues, including tendons and ligaments that often become strained due to altered knee mechanics.
✅ Better Blood Flow
Improved circulation helps deliver nutrients and remove waste products from the joint area, supporting a healthier joint environment.
What to Expect at Worthing Osteopathic & Wellbeing Clinic
During your visit, our manual therapist or osteopath will assess your knee condition and determine if laser therapy is appropriate for you. Treatments are:
- Painless and quick (typically 10–20 minutes)
- Carried out in a relaxed, clinical setting

Majority of our patients report improvements after a course of treatments, with many experiencing reduced pain and improved movement within just a few sessions.
