Therapeutic methods for regenerating bone and cartilage are described, the methods including delivering a tissue regenerative effective amount of light energy having a wavelength in the visible to near-infrared wavelength range to a site of injured or damaged bone or cartilage. The tissue regenerative effective amount of light energy is a predetermined power density (mW/cm2) received at the site, and is determined by selecting a dosage and power of the light energy sufficient to deliver the predetermined power density of light energy to the site of damage or injury. The light to methods are further applicable to in vitro or in vivo growth of cartilage replacement tissue on a biocompatible three-dimensional scaffold.
