Knee pain doesn’t have to end your golf, tennis, or pickleball season. Class IV laser therapy offers a drug-free, non-surgical way to reduce knee pain and inflammation — and in osteoarthritis research, low-level laser at recommended doses reduced pain and disability. At ReliefNow Laser Naples, Dr. Marc Browner keeps active Naples and Collier County patients moving.

Knees take a beating in an active town like Naples — the twisting of a pickleball rally, the rotation of a golf swing, miles of beach walking. Knee pain can come from the joint itself, like arthritis, or from the surrounding ligaments, tendons, and cushioning tissue.

What’s causing my knee pain?

It may stem from an injury to a ligament, tendon, or the meniscus cartilage, from overuse, or from arthritis. Twisting sports and extra body weight both add stress that can lead to pain and swelling.

When should a knee be checked?

See a professional if the knee is badly swollen, can’t bear weight, looks deformed, or if you heard a “pop” at the time of injury. Ongoing pain that disrupts sleep or daily activity is also worth evaluating.

What to expect from laser for the knee

Sessions are short and non-invasive — no incisions, no injections. As Dr. Browner notes of the technology, “Class 4 lasers are powerful yet safe.” Research in knee osteoarthritis found that laser delivered at guideline-recommended doses reduced pain and disability, working best alongside activity changes and strengthening.
