What is Laser Treatment Anyway?

So if we're touting Laser Treatment as being the next best thing since veterinary sliced bread, you might want to know a bit about it.  The following is from website of the Alternative Veterinary Medicine Centre (http://www.alternativevet.org/):

The machine used is termed a 'cold LASER'. Different colours can be used in veterinary medicine, according to the application. The most common are infra-red, at about 800 nm or greater wavelength and red, at about 610 - 800 nm. Each provides its own particular form of concentrated energy input to the body, to act as a stimulus to healing processes.

Animals generally accept vet LASER treatment very well indeed. Relaxation is the usual response. Our experience is that most patients willingly submit themselves to a second treatment, when offered, thus demonstrating their comfort with the process. The treatment is entirely pain-free.

Conditions in which clients have reported great benefit include: wound healing, ulcers, burns, wounds, cruciate ligament injury, sprain, strain, shoulder lameness, arthritis, elbow dysplasia, hip dysplasia, lick granuloma, headshaking (head shaking), back pain, back injury, disc disease.
