Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic inflammatory disorder that occurs when your immune
system mistakenly attacks your own body’s tissues. It can affect more than just 
your joints. In some people, the condition can damage a wide variety of body systems,
including the skin, eyes, lungs, heart and blood vessels.

Unlike the wear-and-tear damage of osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis affects 
the lining of your joints, causing a painful swelling that can eventually result
in bone erosion and joint deformity.

These are the most common symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis:

 *   Tender, warm, swollen joints

 * Joint stiffness that is usually worse in the mornings and after inactivity

 *   Fatigue, fever and loss of appetite

The causes of this disease are not yet known, although a genetic component appears
likely. While your genes don’t actually cause rheumatoid arthritis, they can make
you more likely to react to environmental factors — such as infection with certain
viruses and bacteria — that may trigger the disease.

Most of the medicinal treatments available work on toning down pain issues. Laser
treatment has been recently advanced as an ultimate solution for this specific issue.

Low Laser Therapy (LLT) in specific works on reducing the inflammation and pain 
associated with both types of arthritis, Rheumatoid- and Osteo-Arthritis even before
a final diagnosis is made. LLT uses both red and infrared light to relieve pain,
decrease inflammation and to accelerate healing.

Treatments last between 8 and 20 minutes depending on your injury and the body part
being treated.

Undoubtedly, the quality of the laser machine used for treatment has been a determining
factor that strongly impacted the recovery quality and duration.
