For pet parents who are interested in integrative and holistic veterinary medicine, Personalized Veterinary House Calls & Rehabilitation offers Class IV laser therapy on a mobile basis in the Ann Arbor and Detroit, Michigan areas. Also known as cold laser therapy and low-level laser therapy, Class IV therapeutic laser is an animal rehabilitation technique that utilizes light to increase cell metabolism and reduce inflammation and pain (photobiomodulation). On a microscopic level, the primary target is cytochrome c complex on the inner mitochondrial membrane. Common conditions treated in veterinary rehabilitation medicine include osteoarthritis, post-operative pain, tendonitis, muscle spasm, intervertebral disc disease, and degenerative myelopathy. The Class IV unit the mobile veterinary practice uses to treat your animal in home allows more efficient delivery of therapeutic doses than the Class IIIb and Class Im laser units also commonly used in animal rehabilitation.
