Photobiomodulation Therapy in Reno, NV

Therapy Laser/Photobiomodulation Therapy is a light therapy using lasers or LEDs to improve tissue repair and reduce pain and inflammation wherever the beam is applied. Inflammation is one of the scourges of your pet’s physical and mental health, contributing to pain and a host of other chronic diseases. The most insidious aspect of inflammation is that your pet can survive, but definitely not thrive.

Although applying direct red and infrared light to an inflamed area (i.e. injury) can be extra helpful, even general application to the body changes inflammatory markers in the blood. One study showed reduced numbers of pro-inflammatory cytokines like TNF-a in the blood after only 30 minutes. On average, the inflammatory markers fell by 34, 12, and 1.5 times the normal amount.
