Brockton vet uses high-tech treatment on dogs and cats

BROCKTON - When Al hurt his leg chasing a squirrel, the Irish setter’s owner treated his injury with an anti-inflammatory drug. But then the pup’s limp returned so Dr. Ronald Hirschberg, Al’s owner and a 28-year veterinarian at the Brockton Animal Hospital, turned to “low-level laser therapy,” a high-tech treatment that promotes healing and relieves pain. “Al became a much happier guy,” Hirschberg said. Low-level laser therapy — also called “soft” laser or “cold” laser — has been used on humans in the military and on NASA space missions.

LLLT / Cold Lasers improve healing and are a drug free analgesic 

"The use of THOR Lasers in our practice has brought a new dimension to the treatment of degenerative disc disease, chronic osteoarthritis and a multitude of other medical and surgical conditions in both canine and feline patients.  Our client's acceptance and compliance has exceeded all expectations as they welcome the presence of an innovative and effective technology that reduces the dependency on traditional anti-inflammatory agents. The use of Thor lasers in our practice continues to expand as we discover additional uses almost daily”

Ronald E. Hirschberg, DVM  Brockton Animal Hospital. 
 

 Low Level Lasers can be used on the day of competition unlike other pain killers and anti-inflammatories.

"I use Laser on wounds, tendon injuries and back problems... I use it in the very acute situations immediately, once bleeding has stopped, on any knocks or cuts... Laser has an advantage over ultrasound where gaining contact is difficult (i.e. on animals where clipping the hair is inappropriate). As a busy, mobile physio mainly treating animals in "non- clinic" situations I find the compact THOR laser is the easiest form of electrotherapy to apply."
