Electrotherapies

Pulsed electromagnetic therapy involves the application of electromagnetic fields to the body, typically through specialized devices. The pulsed electromagnetic fields can penetrate deep into tissues, promoting cellular repair, reducing pain, and improving overall tissue function. It is used in various medical fields, including veterinary medicine, to aid in the treatment of musculoskeletal disorders, wound healing, and inflammation.

Photobiomodulation, also known as low-level laser therapy or cold laser therapy, is a non-invasive treatment that utilizes low-intensity light to stimulate cellular function. Lasers are seen as an effective alternative to NSAIDs, reducing pain and inflammation quickly, by reducing COX-2 inflammatory mediators, stimulating cell metabolism and improving tissue perfusion. The photons from the light source are absorbed by cells, triggering biochemical processes that result in reduced inflammation, pain relief, and enhanced tissue repair. This therapy is widely used in both human and veterinary medicine to promote healing and alleviate various conditions, such as wounds, arthritis, and musculoskeletal injuries.
