Laser Therapy

Inspiral uses a multifrequency Class 4 high-power K-Laser. The pulse frequencies produce a combination of analgesia, reduced inflammation, bio-stimulation, and antimicrobial effects, thus accelerating the regeneration of tissues and increasing cellular energy. This phenomenon is known as photobiomodulation.

It provides a non-invasive method of treatment for muscle, tendon, and ligament injuries. It can be used alongside other treatments, such as physiotherapy and acupuncture, and we would encourage a collaborative approach to patient care alongside other professionals, e.g., vets, physiotherapists, farriers, and cattle foot-trimmers. Laser therapy is particularly useful in accelerating wound healing.

The key benefits of laser therapy are:

  • Reduced pain and inflammation

  • Drug-free pain therapy

  • Can be used in combination with other pain management treatments (drug or non-drug based)

  • Enhanced wound healing with and without concurrent wound dressings and bandaging

  • It can be applied from a distance/non-contact, which is suitable for flighty/anxious animals or if the affected area is particularly sore.

  • Successfully used to treat chronic ear infections (otitis externa) in dogs suffering from antibiotic-resistant Pseudomonas, where the only option left was surgical removal of the ear canal - Total Ear Canal Ablation (TECA).

Please contact Dominic via your vet or directly to discuss a potential case(s).

Inspiral's laser and photothermal treatments are referral ‘add-on’ services. Dominic works alongside your veterinary practice, providing the equipment and surgery. It is essential to work with your vet because Inspiral offers a *UK-wide service and cannot provide out-of-hours cover. Your vet will be required to give any medication needed and be fully aware of any procedures undertaken. It is essential that we work together collaboratively. However, Inspiral does provide advice and support to you and your vet before and after treatment. The business has full professional indemnity and public liability insurance.

Dominic is a veterinary surgeon and a chartered biologist. He is a member of the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons and the Royal Society of Biology, the respective governing bodies.

Continuous CPD (career and professional development) is maintained across all the relevant species. He is a member of the species-specific professional bodies and the British Medical Laser Association (BMLA). The BMLA is the foremost society in the UK for users of lasers, light, and energy-based devices for medical, surgical, and dental professionals.
