Avian Laser therapy – the Science

Bird Laser therapy uses red & near infrared specturm light waves to induce therapeutic effects on the deeper tissue in the birds body. The laser waves result in improved tissue healing & regeneration, in both avian Surgical wounds and bite wounds. Bird-Laser therapy results in improvement of the elasticity & tensile strength of tissue. Using laser to reduced pain is so important in our parrots as the powerful beak can really damage the skin and feather when the skin is painful. Bird-laser therapy helps reduce, inflammation & swelling, and generally improves circulation & healing to the affected delicate avian skin. As birds do not have good blood supply under the skin – Avian -laser therapy is especially useful in this species.

Where does Laser-therapy-in-birds work

The Avian laser therapy works on all three phases of avian wound healing, i.e. inflammation, proliferation and remodelling or healing . Parrot Laser therapy is used for both acute and chronic conditions , like bite wounds, feather-damaging behaviour and trauma wounds. The bird-laser therapy results in wounds healing more rapidly. The Bird-doctors use Parrot-Laser-Therapy in chronic lesions such as pododermatitis ( Bumble foot) and pressure sores. Our bird vets have seen improvement in avian arthritis and in feather picking-birds.. The duration of inflammation can be reduced by avian-Laser-Therapy. The phase of healing and repair, during which granulation tissue is formed, begins earlier. The rate of wound contraction is increased with parrot-Laser-Therapy.

Animal Laser therapy has been proven effective for multiple conditions & if the veterinarian recommends laser, it can be administered after the veterinary visit.. At At the Animal Laser Clinic at Bird Vet Melbourne we usually use a Companion-animals -class 4 laser, which offers ideal penetration for and duration optimal effect.

Birds, Ducks and chickens all benefit from the Avian- Laser Therapy .

The bird-Laser Therapy procedure.

The laser beam is moved over the skin, in a controlled way, rhythmically as directed by the Laser computer. This is so that the light energy (photons) penetrates the tissue, at just the right amount of time with the just the right intensity where it interacts with the soft tissue and it and produces the good outcomes.

Our Animal Laser therapy unit has a computer that adjusts the laser to give the optimal amount of laser to the treatment area. Photobiomodulation used in out class iv animal laser , resulting in changes the tissue by stimulating cellular metabolism to accelerate the healing process.
