Laser therapy technology: Voodoo or valid?

Companion Animal Health announces limited time trial program

To help overcome the obstacles veterinarians face when deciding to adopt laser therapy technology into their practices, Companion Animal Health has announced the launch of a limited-time trial program that enables veterinarians to see the impact of laser therapy first-hand, with no financial commitment.

Companion Animal Health's program allows veterinarians to try laser technology free for 30 days to evaluate its success in their practice.

"[I] thought it was voodoo. … I wasn't even going to take the thing for free," said Vernard Hodges, DVM, from Critter Fixer Veterinary Hospital in Bonaire, Ga. "I've paid for [laser] I'm sure twice now and I haven't even had it for six months … it works."

"I pretty much thought it was voodoo medicine until I tried it on my own knee," said Kimberly Daffner, DVM, from Family Pet Clinic in Redondo Beach, Calif. "I play tennis five days a week and this laser machine keeps me mobile on the tennis court, so that sold the machine. The interesting part about that is it paid for itself with my patients within the first six months."

Veterinary professionals who participate in the trial program before Aug. 31 can earn exclusive access to 11 hours of on-demand CE learning about the comprehensive management of osteoarthritis.

As part of the trial, a Companion Animal Health representative will come in to the clinic and train the entire staff. The company also will work with clinic staff every week with one-on-one calls.

    1. Agree completely. I feel like I was tricked into reading this. I'm tired of anecdotal stories (it helped my knees) taking the place of real data.

  1. didn't help my knees, hips or back. I used it on one half of a culture plate since it was claimed to help eliminate infection- the side I used it on grew a plethora of bacteria that never grew on the other side. Sent it back

  2. Pretty much still side with the voo-doo group here although we did have a older dog with an intervertebral disc herniation on whom we used the laser pretty aggressively since the owners opted-out of surgery. There was a remarkable improvement in strength in thr paretic hind limbs and the patient is pulling staff around on a leash now ! Was it laser-induced or simply time and NSAIDS with cage rest ? Thre owner is convinced though that the laser really helped. The dog is doing very well – i guess that is what matters thr most. I will continue to offer the therapy
