Laser-therapy in the veterinary medicine
Laser ray-treatment
If the laser ray is not used point-exactly but defocused, it can be applied for laser irradiation as well. Unlike to the widespread so-called softlasers, that work with very low energies in the milli watt area, the MLT diode laser works with a particular defocussing handpiece up to 5 watts (5000 milli watts). This has the advantage that the irradiation times can be shortened considerable and repetition treatments are necessary only after clearly longer time distances.
This treatment has anti-inflammatory, analgesic and cure-promoting effects and can be therefore used for the treatment of healing of a wound disturbances as well as for illnesses of the locomotorium (acute and chronic joint inflammations, musculature inflammations, sinew inflammations or tenosynovitises).
Important for the success of the irradiation is the used wavelength. MLT diode lasers work with a wavelength of 980 nm which leads to optimum iiradiation results.
Numerous effects are discussed for the cause of these positive influences of the laser light. So, the energy handed over to the tissue should lead also to an energetic stimulation of the tissue, beside the heating. It is suspected that biochemical metabolism processes, like the production of humoral and cellularare antibodies and the release of anabolic substances are stimulated by it. Furthermore, an increase of the microcirculation in the irradiated tissue area is induced.
Laser acupuncture
After identifying the acupuncture point (if necessary with the help of the "Svesa acupuncture-point-finder"), the fiber-optic is positioned and the laser light energy transferred to this point with a short light impulse.
Therefore its only possible to tonify or to balance, but not to sedate the acupuncture point.
Examples for therapeutic applications in the veterinary medicine:
- Healing of a wound promotion
- Postoperative measures
- Pain therapy, acupuncture
- Hotspot treatment
- Arthrose
- I.v. irradiation
- Strengthening of weak ear cartilages
