Infrared Light Therapy

Similar to humans, both dogs and cats can suffer from arthritis, joint pain, and inflammation. Photobiomodulation (PBMT) can help with all of these ailments and more.

Infrared light falls just outside the visible spectrum, past the edge of what we as humans can see.

 FAQs on Infrared Light Therapy

 

Kona

Light therapy was used on Kona. In a series of unfortunate events, Kona got loose and was hit and run over by a vehicle. Immediately after the accident, it was realized that he was paralyzed and required a number of invasive surgeries due to the severity of multiple injuries. It was unknown if Kona would even survive the surgeries.

Using the combination of Physical Therapy and Cold Laser Therapy and Infrared light therapy 2-3 times weekly for a total of 6 months, we were able to heal Kona’s inflammation and he made a mobile recovery. Kona now runs.

We are currently working to stabilize and strengthen the muscles to optimize mobility and prevent any further injuries.

Kona’s healing would not be possible without the dedication of her parents who made the necessary lifestyle adjustments such as adding carpet to any areas he could slip in and doing daily exercises to encourage muscle building.
