This webinar reviews the evidence behind the use of stem cells, platelet-rich plasma (PRP), and photobiomodulation (laser therapy) in veterinary medicine. Dr. Andrew Armitage covers the science behind these therapies and review a recent publication on their use in chronic musculoskeletal conditions unresponsive to other conventional treatments in dogs.
