Therapeutic lasers work by
supplying energy to the body in the form of photons of light and
allowing the body to effect its own repairs. Generally speaking, the
biostimulating effect of laser therapy is in its anti-inflammatory,
analgesic and anti-edematous effect on tissues. There is absolute
increase in microcirculation, higher rates of ATP, RNA and DNA
synthesis, and thus better tissue oxygenation and nutrition. There is
also an increase in the absorption of interstitial fluid, better tissue
regeneration and stimulation of the analgesic effect. |

Lasers have been successfully used on humans for over 30 years. This
knowledge gained in human medicine is beneficial for your pets. Your pet's
health is as important to us as it is to you. Hundreds of veterinarians are
offering laser surgery as an exciting new option for safer, more comfortable
treatment. In many procedures, the laser can replace the scalpel and provide
a better alternative to traditional surgery.
