Shining a Light in the Dark: Science & Dosing updates in Using Laser Therapy for Deep Tissue Conditions

Evidence based science on the use of photobiomodulation (PBM, previously referred to as laser therapy) will be reviewed, specifically as it relates to new research examining the use of PBM in treating both osteoarthritis and potentially Degenerative Myelopathy (DM) in dogs. You will gain an understanding of basic light-tissue interaction and how PBM is dosed in order to achieve consistent results in deep tissue conditions. You will also have an understanding of the best way to apply PBM for results in treating patients with OA and potentially other chronic deep tissue conditions, such as DM in their clinical practice.
