How long have cold lasers been used for equine therapy?
Cold lasers have been used by veterinarians in Europe on both animals and humans since around 1970. Andre Mester, a Hungarian researcher, reported good results with wound healing on rats in 1968. And veterinarians have been using therapeutic lasers in the U.S. since the early 70’s. In fact, the FDA has approved some cold laser brands for use on human conditions such as carpal tunnel syndrome. Similar devices like the Vetrolaser do not require the same FDA approval since it is only sold and intended for animal/veterinary use only.
