The Application of Laser Therapy in Veterinary Medicine

Laser therapy is a medical treatment that uses a strong beam of light to cut, burn, or destroy tissue. It is a recent advancement in the field of science that is non-invasive, non-toxic, and non-polluting, and is used to treat and manage various disease conditions in both human and veterinary medicine worldwide. The mechanisms of action have been studied and identified for reducing pain and inflammation, as well as promoting tissue healing. Laser therapy utilizes light energy at different wavelengths and power densities to treat clinical diseases such as musculoskeletal pain, osteoarthritis, joint pain and inflammation, neuropathic pain, otitis, dermatitis, chronic or non-healing wounds, and decubital ulcers. Despite its numerous therapeutic advantages, laser medicine remains one of the most underutilized treatment modalities in veterinary medicine. However, there have been recent clinical trials on the use of therapeutic laser in animals, which shows promise for its future application in the field of veterinary medicine. It is important to consider all necessary safety precautions when applying laser treatment protocols. Therefore, this article aims to present the laser systems and their potential applications in the field of veterinary practice.
