Guest guest Posted January 22, 2011 Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 Hi, I know this isn't strictly speaking rehab but am wondering if anyone can give me a protocol you think is successful for treating lick granuloma on the leg with Class IIIb -- how many joules and how frequently and in your experience how long does it require for resolution? And do your ramp the joules up as you go or leave at one level? I started at 6J (on F4) and am trying to get the dog to come three times a week (there is no way I will get it every day, even three times a week may be pushing it). thanks Pamela Mueller PhD DVM CCRT still pending Animal Therapy Center Bethlehem PA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 Hi Pam,Treat the spine... addressing the nerve root to the corresponding dermatome. ( extrapolated from Steiss et al 1995)Laser the spine 8J/cm2 (Extrapolated from Chow et al 2007)Laser the wound – like a superficial wound 2 – 4 J/cm2 (World Association of Laser Therapy recommendation for wounds)As often as feasible, your 2 – 3 days per week recommendation sounds good if the owners go for it, otherwise, once a week is a minimum requirement to be effective, I’d think.Perhaps add traction.Cheers!!!Laurie From: VetRehab [mailto:VetRehab ] On Behalf Of Pamela MuellerSent: January-22-11 11:20 AMTo: VetRehab Subject: Laser for lick granuloma Hi,I know this isn't strictly speaking rehab but am wondering if anyone can give me a protocol you think is successful for treating lick granuloma on the leg with Class IIIb -- how many joules and how frequently and in your experience how long does it require for resolution?
