Acupoint Laser Therapy
How does Acupoint Laser Therapy work?
Acupoint laser therapy combines the principles of acupuncture with the advanced healing properties of laser light. Instead of using needles, specific acupuncture points are stimulated with gentle laser energy to encourage balance, reduce pain, and support the flow of energy throughout the body. This therapy can help manage chronic pain, improve mobility, and support emotional balance in both horses and dogs. It’s especially helpful for animals who would benefit from acupuncture but may not tolerate needles. Acupoint laser therapy provides a comfortable, stress-free way to tap into the benefits of traditional Chinese medicine with modern technology.

What to expect during Acupoint Laser Therapy session?
Depending on the conditions being addressed, the actual session may last 20-30 minutes. Normally, the patient becomes very relaxed. Dogs normally fall asleep and horses will often lick their lips and yawn.
How long after Acupoint Laser Therapy session will it take to see improvement?
Often you will see some kind of improvement after the first session but many times it will take several treatments to see a notable difference. Protocols may involve one to three sessions per week for several weeks. Often, the number of sessions is tapered off as the animal improves, so visits are scheduled less frequently. The effects of acupoint treatment are cumulative so there is a benefit to repeated sessions, but the goal is to achieve the greatest degree of improvement and maintain that level with the fewest treatments necessary.
