Low-Level Laser Acupuncture and the Use of the Respond Luminex Vet Class 3b Laser

Gary VanEngelenburg DVM

Abstract

Low-level laser therapy (LLLT) may be useful for general tissue healing, as well as stimulation of acupoints. Acupoint stimulation with low-level laser light can be used instead of needles and the same types of cases treated with traditional acupuncture can be treated with laser acupuncture. Current clinical research has confirmed the therapeutic benefits of LLLT for equine laminitis and humans with myofascial pain, epicondylitis, knee osteoarthritis and other musculoskeletal disorders. The author finds the Respond Luminex Vet Class 3b laser with the Advantage probe very user friendly, as it has been pre-programmed for general tissue healing for a number of common conditions, based on species, animal’s size and area being treated. Using the Respond Luminex Vet Class 3b laser with the Profile probe with a fine point cap attached, the author is able to effective stimulate an acupoint in 2 seconds, delivering a dose of 0.6 J/cm2. Common conditions successfully treated include pain and paresis from lumbosacral disease, intervertebral disk disease, hip osteoarthritis and infertility.
