Veterinary Cold Laser Therapy VCLT
L
ight Amplification by Stimulated Emission Rays or LASER is a treatment directing highly concentrated coherent light which can be altered to attain many different outcomes. It is natural and biological therapy that uses light to restore health to ailing cells.Cold laser therapy is a relatively new technique in veterinary medicine, but has been used in Europe and human medicine for years treating arthritis pain, enhancing wound healing, and reducing acute tissue inflammation.
Cold Laser Therapy has been used consistently and successfully with human athletes for many years. It has become a mainstay in professional sports where fast healing is not just desirable but necessary to remain competitive. Jeff Spencer, DC, a team Chiropractor for Lance Armstrong and the Discovery Channel Cycling Team, performs laser treatments on the cyclists before and after every ride on the Tour de France. He is adamant that laser is an integral part of his treatment protocol and he won’t leave home without it.
Veterinary Cold Laser Therapy, or VCLT, has more recently entered the veterinarian world as a viable therapy. The technique was developed by William L. Inman DVM, and has been shown to help in treating arthritis pain, accelerating wound healing, and reducing acute tissue inflammation. Its prospects for equestrian sports and rehabilitation are remarkable, states Dr. Jill Todd. She feels these modalities in conjunction with traditional veterinary care are an integral part of training the equine athlete. By using and eastern/ western approach and high technology instrumentation, Dr. Todd’s methodology for maintenance and treatment is state of the art.
