Laser Therapy

Laser stands for “light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation.”  Lasers are commonly divided into therapeutic lasers or medical lasers.  The light from the laser is applied to the affected area, and influences cell or tissue functions.  Low-level laser therapy (LLLT) is simply the stimulation of tissue with low energy lasers to achieve a therapeutic effect.  Some indications for laser therapy are:

  • wounds/lick granulomas
  • pain
  • inflammation
  • arthritis
