Veterinarian Ron Hirschberg tells of how he first experienced laser therapy on his own arthritis, and decided to invest in lasers for his practice. Since he started using laser therapy on the pets he works with he has seen many positive results, he explains that gross profits from NSAIDs decreased from 0.71% to 0.3%, and laser profit now makes up 4% of the practice's income. He will treat between 3 and as many as 13 patients with LLLT, 95% of which he says improve noticably faster than those without LLLT.

Django's 1st Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT)
Django is now 13 months old and has had clicking and obvious pain in his right knee for the last 6 months. After a negative valley fever test & 2 knee x-rays showing no fracture or tumors,and being told by 2 vets, it's possibly a soft tissue (CCL/ACL) injury and that he needed a CT, MRI or arthroscopy to get a more definitive diagnosis. Django's owner decided to try LLLT to alleviate some of his pain.

This tool is a searchable collection of technical publications, books, videos and other resources about the use of lasers and light for PhotoBioModulation (PBM). Enter a keyword above or see some of our favorite queries below.
Here are some of our favorite queries:
All the resources include links to the original source so we are not making any statement about the use of lasers for treating non-FDA cleared application, we are simple summarizing what others have said.
Where every possible, we have included a link to the orginal publication.
This tool uses a broad match query so:
The results of the search are sorted based on 3 quality factors on a scale of 1 to 10 with 10 being the best score. Originally all the resources were given a 5-5-5 until they could be individually evaluated. These scores are purely opinion and are only used to simplify the rank of the results from more valuable to least valuable. This should not be considered a critique of any work. This system was created to help researchers (including ourselves) find the most usable resources for any cold laser therapy research. The resources are assigned values based on the following 3 factors:
Over the past few years of working with research, we found that a majority of the published resources are lacking in one of these three ranking factors.
The original goal of this research tool was to tie published resources to the protocols in the laser-therapy.us library. This connection allows users to trace each protocol back to a list of resources so the protocol can be researched and improved.
General Comments
POWER
When many of the first research papers were published, the most power laser available for therapy were less than 100mW and many systems had to be pulsed to keep the laser from burning out too quickly. Today, system are available that will deliver up to 60,000mW of continuous output. Because of these power limitation, many early studies were limited to extremely low dosages by today’s standards. It takes a 50mW system 17 minutes to deliver 50 joules at the surface of the skin. If this was spread over a large area of damage or was treating a deeper problem, the actual dosages were much less than 1J/cm2. Today, we know that these dosages typically produce very little or no results.
WAVELENGTH
About 80% of the resources in this database are in the near infrared wavelength. There is also some interest in the red wavelength (600 to 660nm) . Other wavelengths like blue, purple, and green have very little scientific research behind them and have not gotten much traction in the core therapy market with the exception of some fringe consumer products.
