Photobiomodulation For Lower Urinary Tract And Renal Disease

by Lisa Miller DVM, CCRT, CVA

This webinar discusses the potential use of photobiomodulation for treating common lower urinary and renal conditions.

Dr. Miller covers the etiologies of lower urinary tract disease in felines that are optimal for the use of laser therapy as a treatment modality to help decrease inflammation & swelling, relieve pain, and aid in the recovery of patients, as well as the similarities between feline and human idiopathic cystitis.

She also addresses the science behind how photobiomodulation may benefit veterinary patients suffering from lower urinary tract disease, along with potentially chronic kidney disease.
