Veterinary Laser Therapy in Small Animal Practice

Stručný popis

Laserová terapie se v praxi malých zvířat stává stále populárnější a má pro pacienta mnoho výhod – včetně snížení zánětu, rychlejšího hojení tkání a menší bolesti – a lze ji použít u celé řady stavů, včetně ran, podvrtnutí a zlomenin. Tato velmi praktická kniha, zaměřená na prvního veterináře, pokrývá nejdůležitější aspekty použití laseru v praxi. Přistupuje k tématu tak, že bere dva pohledy – základní vědu a klinické aplikace – a kombinuje je pro robustního a užitečného průvodce praxí laserové terapie. Pokryté informace zahrnují: jak lasery fungují na tkáni; jak je používat v různých scénářích; jak maximalizovat výsledky; jak je používat u různých stavů včetně měkkých tkání, pohybového aparátu a neurologických; jak integrovat lasery s jinými terapiemi; kdy nepoužívat lasery nebo používat opatrně; jak vybrat vybavení a implementovat ho do prostředí praxe a propagovat léčbu u klientů. Kniha také obsahuje případové studie, které ilustrují použití laserů v praxi na řadě podmínek u různých zvířat včetně psů, koček a exotů. Veterinární laserová terapie v praxi malých zvířat kombinuje klinické a vědecké přístupy reflektované v práci obou autorů a ukazuje, jak vám obě strany společně mohou pomoci mít pozitivní dopad na pacienta.

Popis

Laser therapy has become increasingly popular in small animal practice and has many benefits to the patient—including reduced inflammation, faster tissue healing, and less pain—and can be used in a wide variety of conditions including wounds, sprains, and fractures. Aimed at the first opinion vet, this very practical book covers the most important aspects of laser use in the practice environment. It approaches the subject by taking two perspectives—fundamental science and clinical applications—and combining them for a robust, useful guide to the practice of laser therapy. Information covered includes: how lasers work on tissue; how to use them in different scenarios; how to maximise results; how to use them on different conditions including soft tissue, musculoskeletal and neurological; how to integrate lasers with other therapies; when not to use lasers or use with caution; how to choose the equipment and implement it in the practice environment and promote the treatment to clients. The book also includes case studies to illustrate the use of lasers in practice on a range of conditions in different animals including dogs, cats, and exotics. Veterinary Laser Therapy in Small Animal Practice combines the clinical and scientific approaches reflected in the work of the two authors, showing how both sides together can help you have a positive impact on the patient.
