The evolution of laser therapy to mainstream patient care in veterinary medicine is a fascinating journey that started with the obscure observation that clipped hair grew back more quickly in mice irradiated with laser light. Now, 50 years later, we use laser therapy every day to reduce pain, modulate inflammation, and accelerate healing. Attendees will see how we got from “hair to here” and how laser therapy significantly improves patient care today.
