Opening New Pathways to Healing: Sugarloaf Animal Hospital

by Laser Therapy

Sugarloaf Animal Hospital Team never wavers in their focus to provide the best and gentlest care to their many and varied species of patient. This case is a good reminder that Laser/PBM therapy is so much more than just a Rehab/Anti-Arthritis tool. The results here show how this gentle, non-invasive yet powerful therapy opens up a new additional pathway to healing. Adjunctive Laser/PBMt can short-circuit weeks of pain and distress for our veterinary patients by supporting the body on the pathway to healing. https://lnkd.in/g3jAcC3Y

It was an absolute pleasure spending time with our dedicated veterinary colleagues at Horizon Palliative Vets. Their vet team is uncompromising in its approach to relieve pain and distress in their  veterinary patients.  Additionally, much respect to their team also for the time and effort they put into our training webinars  and into completing additional educational certification. All of that energy and focus can be clearly seen in the speed with which they have implemented laser/PBMt into their daily clinical case load.

March 15th: Afternoon of; With Ruby still inappetant, uncomfortable and drooling copious string of smelly saliva, a single session of PBMt is administered.
A couple of hours later, Ruby expresses interest in food and eats some morsels of kangaroo mince.
Following a deep restful sleep, Ruby awakens looking for more food and eat small amounts regularly over the next 24 hours.
A second PBMt session,12 hours from the first session, now administered.
March 16th: Morning of; after a restful night, Ruby awakens with a much less swollen neck and lower jaw.
Another PBMt session applied, 24hours from the previous session.

Adjunctive PBMt supported Ruby’s journey to a faster and successful outcome from her illnes

What Happens If The Safety Glasses Not Tolerated?

by Laser TherapyUncategorized

 

What happens when the animal patient won’t tolerate the safety googles or are just too tiny for even the cat googles?
Covering their eyes with your hand is not a valid Plan B as depending on the power used, enough light to damage their eyes can still pass through your hand.
Dr Aine has done some experiments with safety physicists to narrow down what common materials might be used to reduce the ocular risk to the veterinary patient. The results of that work will be available next week to our Vets1laser clients on our website in the library section under Treatment Tips so make sure to look out for the new treatment tip post.

Top marks to the team at waterwalkies and their detailed commitment to creating a Laser Safety Zone for their treatment sessions. It has been a joy to train this team of focused professionals to implement laser/pbm therapy into their treatment sessions. You don’t have to know much about laser safety to see the quantum safety differences in waterwalkies setup compared to so many other laser therapy images posted on various social media. https://lnkd.in/dPUvXcrm

IS THERE AN OPTIMAL TIME TO DO LASER/PBM THERAPY SESSIONS

by Laser TherapyUncategorized

Yes, there is an Optimal Time: Mornings.

However, that doesn’t mean that Laser/PBM therapy sessions scheduled for other times of the day won’t work. You will get efficacy from PBM applied any time of the day so continue to schedule appointment times as it suits you and the client.

However, if you have the luxury of booking treatment sessions in a Morning slot, then do so in preference for two particular reasons.

                1)Morning sessions are preferred if this is the First time the animal is having laser. This is simply so as to have the full working day to find out if this particular patient gets a strong ergogenic response to the treatment.

If so then that animal will be a bundle of energy and sleep will be the last thing on their mind. This means the pet and the owner might very well have a sleepless night if the pet decides come bedtime, that it is still time to play and play and not sleep. 

Therefore on the occasions that you can’t schedule a morning appointment, be sure to cheerfully alert the client that the pet could be active for longer than normal. Most clients if prewarned are then fine if they are up all night with a super active happy pet. 

This ergogenic effect doesn’t always occur, some animals in fact are the opposite and want to sleep around the clock. Again clients should be pre-warned that this can happen so that they don’t panic after hours at a pet who just wants to stay curled up in bed after a laser treatment.

                2) Mitochondria are ‘Morning’ Workers.

Mitochondria are the main targets for Red-NIR wavelengths so it makes sense to treat when the target is most responsive. Some studies indicate that early morning, or at a minimum within 8 hours of awakening, is the time when mitochondria have spare capacity and are most sensitive to having improvements in the function of cytochrome C complex and ATP production. 

At the start of the day, ATP levels are high which results in a homeostatic reduction in complex activity as demand is low, with mitochondria only needed to top up the system which has not been drained by previous activity. Later when respiration increases, complex activity is elevated as ATP levels declined due to consumption. Mitochondria later in the day have reduced spare capacity to respond as daily activity has increased their workload.

 So where possible-Choose Morning Treatment Times.
