Laser Therapy

Laser therapy, also known as low-level laser therapy (LLLT) or photobiomodulation (PBM), is a medical treatment that uses low-level lasers or light-emitting diodes (LEDs) to stimulate cellular function and promote healing. The light energy is typically in the red or near-infrared spectrum and is applied to the body's tissues.

Laser therapy operates at the cellular level by leveraging specific wavelengths of light, typically in the red or near-infrared spectrum. When applied to target tissues, photons from the light are absorbed by chromophores, particularly cytochrome c oxidase within the mitochondria. This absorption activates the mitochondrial respiratory chain, leading to an enhanced production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the energy source for cells. The increased ATP production influences various cellular processes, including improved cellular metabolism, reduced oxidative stress, and modulation of inflammation. These changes contribute to the therapeutic effects of laser therapy, such as accelerated tissue repair, pain reduction, and anti-inflammatory responses. The specific cellular responses vary depending on the application and target tissue, highlighting the versatility of laser therapy in medical and therapeutic contexts.

The Multi Radiance family of therapy lasers are engineered to provide the right tool in the laser therapy toolbox for every patient, and every stage of care.

For veterinary clinics, incorporating laser therapy can bring about several benefits:​

1. Diversified Services: Offering laser therapy expands the clinic's range of treatments, catering to pet owners seeking alternative and comprehensive care options.

2. Increased Revenue: As an additional, non-invasive treatment, laser therapy can attract a wider clientele, thereby creating a new income stream for the clinic.

3. Enhanced Patient Outcomes: The potential for faster recovery and improved healing from laser therapy can bolster the clinic's reputation for effective, cutting-edge care.

4. Reduced Dependency on Medications: Laser therapy can serve as an alternative to certain medications, potentially reducing medicinal costs and the risk of side effects.

5. Marketing Opportunity: Promoting the clinic as one that offers advanced laser therapy can set it apart from competitors, attracting new clients and reinforcing its image as a modern, state-of-the-art facility.

Laser therapy, when correctly applied, is a safe treatment option for pets. Before proceeding, a thorough examination by a veterinarian ensures its suitability. The vet then outlines the exact laser application parameters. Unlike surgical lasers, therapeutic ones do not make incisions. Depending on the specific laser, pets might wear protective goggles during sessions. The process is quick, non-invasive, and painless.
