If you’ve heard about light therapy for animals, you may wonder, can this help my pet’s condition? Or does it actually work? Is it backed by science? The answer to all of these questions is yes!
Light therapy is beneficial when addressing many common ailments in our pets, from skin issues or hair loss to joint pain or soft tissue injuries. Let’s go through the details of how light therapy works, what it can help with, and how to use it at home.
What is Light Therapy?
In basic terms, light therapy is a non-invasive therapy option that increases circulation, reduces inflammation, promotes cell regeneration, and provides pain relief. These benefits can occur both at the skin surface and at deep tissue level.
In scientific terms, light therapy utilizes specific wavelengths of light called photons. When photons are absorbed by the photoreceptors within the cell, including damaged cell tissue, it stimulates a cellular response to jump-start the healing process.
Over the last few decades, clinical research has backed the effectiveness of light therapy for living tissues and organisms. It has become a preferred method to address pain relief utilized by Veterinarians, Physical Therapists, Chiropractors, and more within the pet health industry.
