Summary:The nervous system of dogs and cats is one of the most accessible and receptive organs to photobiomodulation. By manipulating the dose to the target tissue, one can either create analgesia through a temporary block or decrease inflammation and stimulate tissue regeneration. This makes PBMT a versatile tool in the hands of a knowledgeable veterinarian when treating diseases of the central and peripheral nervous systems, such as intervertebral disk disease (IVDD), peripheral nerve injuries, brain disorders, and pain.
