Welcome Dr. Dyer to your private J-Ray Page!

Treatments are performed by positioning the laser handpiece approximately 1/2” directly above the skin for acute conditions, and placing the laser handpiece on the coat for chronic conditions. The goal is to surround the area of injury and pain with the photonic energy, passing the laser treatment beam over repeatedly. 

 The High Dose Laser Therapy produces results quickly. For most ACUTE conditions 5-6 treatments is all that is needed. CHRONIC conditions take longer and might require 6-12 treatments. While these are the averages, each animal is unique and healing time varies by animal and condition. For those with lifelong conditions your doctor may recommend 1 or 2 follow-up treatments each month. 

Laser therapy has been in use for over fifty years around the world. There have been almost no side effects reported. Occasionally some old injuries or pain syndromes may be aggravated for a few days, as the healing response becomes more active after a treatment. 

Depending on the condition, treatment times for this drug-free, non-invasive procedure will last on average 5-10 minutes but is based on the size of area, depth of penetration needed and condition being treated. 

Pets may notice a warm, often soothing feeling. There is no pain associated with a treatment. Many also experience reduced tension and tightness, reduced inflammation and improved motion. 

The moment an animal leaves the clinic, they may resume normal daily activity. It is important to remember to not overexert for a few days, as the body is still healing. 

When the photons of laser light penetrate the skin and underlying tissue, they are absorbed by the cells, and

converted into energy. The cell membrane permeability is altered, which triggers a cascade of cellular events including:

- Stimulation of ATP

- Stimulation of respiratory chain

- Increased DNA and RNA synthesis

- Increased levels of beta endorphins and serotonin

- Enhanced collagen synthesis 

The treatment does not require the use of drugs or surgery, and there are no dangerous side effects or risks. In addition, High Dose Laser therapy provides enhanced treatment outcomes faster than any other treatment modality. 

Cold Laser Therapy (or LLLT – Low Level Light Therapy) was introduced into the USA in 2001 with low power levels. Since that time new scientific and clinical discoveries have led to the development of higher power lasers, thus providing High Dose Laser Therapy.
