ABOUT LASER THERAPY
Also known as photobiomodulation, laser therapy is the harnessing of specific wavelengths of light in order to create therapeutic effects. It has been shown to increase circulation within injured tissue, decrease swelling, speed up healing time, and reduce pain. The technology has been used in Europe since the 1970s, but it wasn’t until 2002 when the FDA cleared it for use in the United States. Since then, it has become a popular treatment in both human and veterinary medicine.
