Laser and Infrared Therapy
Using laser and infrared technology can benefit pets by decreasing inflammation and pain, as well as improve wound healing.
Therapeutic Laser Therapy
Therapeutic lasers use light waves of a specific wavelength to cause photobiomodulation, or the alteration of cellular and tissue physiology. Light absorbed by cellular components stimulates electrons and activates cells to promote growth, proliferation, migration, and repair.
Laser therapy is used for many veterinary medical conditions, including:
The type and depth of tissue that responds to laser therapy depends on the wavelength of the light that is delivered.
Laser Therapy For Tissue Repair
Most therapeutic lasers use red or near-infrared light, which has a wavelength of 600–1070 nanometers, although units with green, blue, and violet light, which have lower wavelengths, are becoming more popular.
Laser beams of lower wavelengths are absorbed by superficial tissue, such as the skin, whereas beams of higher wavelengths penetrate deeper to muscles and bones.
Laser therapy helps tissue repair by causing the following:
