Cold Laser Therapy for Scar Tissue After Knee Replacement?
Joint Replacements | Last Active: Dec 19, 2022 | Replies (53)Comment receiving replies
I had total knee replacement over 5 yrs ago and am still suffering. I have developed so much scar tissue which causes me pain. I have seen 2 orthopedic specialists who have said surgery knee looks good but I have a lot of scar tissue. I have tried acupuncture, massage, PT and did not help. Deep tissue massage gave me relief for 2 weeks and I continue with appointments. I am looking into cold laser therapy. It helped my dog; the cold laser treatments healed her leg and she did not require surgery. Has anyone tried cold laser therapy for knee?

That sounds interesting if you do go please let us know ….. like I said I still do mfr to keep things moving but I don’t know how much longer because it does cost 100 an hour…..good luck hope it works
Hi there......everyone. I thought I would sneak in here and tell you that the only way I have gotten rid of scar tissue is MFR. For those of you that are new, that is Myofascial Release Therapy. The tissue elements around the surgery area become restricted and hurt. MFR releases the restrictions. Here is the link for Connect.

Happy to respond to questions.

Hi Bunky,
Sounds like you and I have a similar situation. I had my right TKR 1/15/18. I have no mobility issues but my patella band hurts all the time. Multiple Ortho docs, injections and PT, nothing has given me any relief. I'm curious about your deep tissue massage. Who provides that service?
Please let me know if the cold laser therapy works.
Best of luck!
