Red Light Therapy for Arthritis & Joint Pain
in Pets

Odin

”The Luma has been amazing for our almost 11 year old German Shepherd, Odin. His arthritis pain in his hip and back is manageable now and under control, he is back to walking 1-2 miles a day and playing with his brothers…It has been a game changer in his arthritis treatment.” –Jennifer Arnold


“One in five dogs will develop arthritis in their lifetime.”
— American College of Veterinary Surgeons

That’s not a niche problem—it’s an epidemic. And it’s not just old age. Arthritis can be triggered by genetics, injuries, or the simple wear and tear of living an active life. For your pet, that means pain. Stiffness. Slowing down.

But it doesn’t have to stay that way.

Luma delivers powerful red and infrared light therapy that reduces inflammation, alleviates pain, and helps pets move with ease again. No drugs. No downtime. Just minutes a day.

Understanding Arthritis & Joint Pain in Pets

Arthritis, also known as Osteoarthritis (OA) or Degenerative Joint Disease (DJD), is a progressive condition that affects the joints, leading to pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility. This condition is especially common in older pets but can also develop due to injuries, genetic predisposition, or excessive wear and tear on the joints over time.

As arthritis progresses, the protective cartilage in the joints breaks down, leading to inflammation and discomfort. Pets with arthritis may show signs such as reluctance to walk or climb stairs, stiffness after resting, difficulty standing up, or decreased activity levels. Managing arthritis effectively is crucial to improving a pet’s comfort and quality of life.

How Luma Helps Pets with Arthritis & Joint Pain

Hazel Moon

“Hazel Moon was limping and experiencing obvious discomfort from arthritis and CCL injury in her hind legs. Along with physical therapy, the Luma helped with her inflammation and pain and she is excited about going for walks again. Sometimes she even asks for a Luma treatment by nudging the device with her nose then presenting the area she wants treated” –Andrea

We don’t believe in buzzwords or gimmicks. At MedcoVet, we lead with research—not fluff. We’ve spent years reviewing the data, consulting with veterinary clinicians, and testing real-world outcomes to ensure Luma delivers meaningful results.

So here’s the deal:
👉 Some devices use low-power lights that don’t reach the tissue depth required to actually reduce pain.
👉 Others make bold claims without publishing results or sharing treatment parameters.
👉 Luma isn’t that.

We use therapeutic wavelengths in the 600–800 nm range—specifically studied for their impact on arthritis pain, inflammation, and cellular repair.

Let’s break it down.

How Luma Helps with Arthritis: Backed by Research

Luma delivers therapeutic red (around 660 nm) and near-infrared light (810–830 nm) deep into tissue. These wavelengths are shown to:

  • 🔋 Increase Cellular Energy (ATP): Light stimulates cytochrome c oxidase in mitochondria, boosting ATP—the fuel cells use to repair and regenerate.
  • 🔥 Reduce Inflammation: PBM helps lower swelling by modulating inflammatory cytokines and increasing anti-inflammatory markers.
  • 😌 Alleviate Pain Naturally: Red light therapy can trigger the release of endorphins—your pet’s natural painkillers.
  • ❤️ Improve Blood Flow: Better circulation brings more oxygen and nutrients to inflamed joints.
  • 🛡 Protect Against Cartilage Breakdown: Certain wavelengths (like 635 and 850 nm) modulate MMPs (matrix metalloproteinases), enzymes linked to joint degradation.

What the Research Says:

  • 660 nm light improved grip strength and joint structure in rats with rheumatoid arthritis.
  • 830 nm laser modulated joint enzymes and reduced cartilage damage in a mouse model.
  • 685 & 830 nm lasers reduced swelling and vascular inflammation by up to 24% in arthritic rats.

👉 We don’t use vague “red light” terms. We specify the wavelengths that count.

Safe, Soothing, and Designed for At-Home Use

Rose

”Rose had been getting in-office deep laser treatments from her physical therapist for arthritis in her legs and stiffness in her back after having ruptured a disc a few years ago. The treatments were wonderful, but wore off pretty quickly, so the Luma was suggested. Thanks to the Luma, she gets more frequent treatments in more areas than ever before. She’s able to be pretty active for a nearly 12 year old blind dog whose had this kind of injury and the Luma is essential for that. She can walk longer, sleeps better, and is excited for her walks! The Luma has made a huge improvement in her quality of life!” –Richelle Krotts
