The use of low intensity infrared laser and LED diodes have been promoted in several countries for many years
as an effective treatment for arthritis, soft tissue injuries and pain.
Publications within the medical and scientific community attest to the clinical usefulness
of laser technology incorporated in JB Medical Lasers and their many biological effects upon the cells.
Laser acupuncture where the needles are replaced with a laser is proving very effective in providing relief from a number of painful afflictions. It works on exactly the
same principles as normal acupuncture but no needles whatsoever are involved.
Acupuncture balances the flow of energy in the body. The Chinese call this energy qi and the energy pathways are known as meridians. The disruption of this flow causes disease or ill health and acupuncture can be used to correct this flow.
 Using a laser on traditional acupuncture points allows the provision of a non-invasive service with no pain. This is very good for people who have a phobia about needles.
It’s basically the same as using the needles but a laser is used instead.

Laser is particularly good for treating conditions that involve damaged tissue as the laser has an effect on
the micro-circulation and this helps repair that tissue. Pain relief and improvement in movement can be immediate.
The laser can be used to treat things such as lower back pain, a frozen shoulder, sciatica, or for pain management and pain relief. It can even help to treat scar tissue. Essentially, it can do whatever normal acupuncture can – just without anything entering the body!
So whether you believe in the eastern or western explanation of why acupuncture works, both schools of thought
are in agreement that laser acupuncture can be useful in helping to treat a wide range of illnesses by relieving pain and symptoms.
As with humans many conditions of pain and inflammation arise in animals due to the stress of training and performance. Often
these conditions require the help of a Veterinarian. However, traditional Medical therapies may need adjunctive therapies to
provide for the long term resolution of the problem.
It has been found that JB Medical Lasers can provide a complete and lasting resolution of many
greyhound and equine problems when it is coupled with veterinary diagnosis.
For racehorses and pacers JB Medical Lasers can be used to :
- Heal ligament and capsular injuries
- Heal cuts and bruising
- Heal tendon injuries
- Ease muscular ailments
- Fix bleeders
- Repair suspensories
- Reduce inflammation in joints following sprains
- Repair holes and tears in 8 weeks
Infrared Diode Lasers, like JB Medical Lasers, stimulates the cells. Energy enters the body as photons, then they are
absorbed by the photoreceptors within the cell. Photons strike the damaged tissue including skin, blood, muscle, and bone, and create a cellular response
which reduces pain and jump-starts the healing process.
Both visible and infrared light have been shown to effect at least 24
different positive changes at a cellular level. It is very beneficial in treating
problems close to the surface such as wounds, cuts, scars, trigger and
acupuncture points and is particularly effective in treating infections.
For greyhounds in particular JB Medical Lasers can be used to :
- Treat bruising.
- Treat sand toe
