If you would like, you can do some internet research on ATP production and all that jazz or you can just take me for my word. I am like George Washington; I can not tell a lie (unless of course I am 14 and you are my parents). And the truth is, these therapy lasers really work. Recently I took a picture of some progress we made with a laser therapy and I will share them with you. The pictures are of an older dog who had a lick granuloma. Explaining a lick granuloma literally will take hours and will be almost as confusing as ATP production, so for simplicity's sake I am just going to say this dog kept licking its foot; it licked it so much it formed a wound (i.e. a granuloma). So, for treatment I prescribed laser therapy. The dog had a total of 4 treatments; no other medication was needed...no corticosteroids; no antibiotics; no NSAIDs.
Laser therapy is beneficial in so many ways but where it is especially beneficial is in the senior patient and patients with known drug sensitivities. By incorporating laser therapy into other conventional treatment plans, it can be possible to reduce the amount of toxic medications needed to treat an illness and approach the issue in more of a holistic way, which is always a plus.
