what do they laser?

He showed me an example of passing the wand over a joint that was painful to the dog. Not touching it just passing it over. So essentially he says he does it for arthritic joints and for hip and spine conditions that aren't surgical but are degenerative.

Sounds like hocus pocus to me... the laser may warm the area (like a wet rag would), but the laser does not make it to the joint... even if it does, does it 'undegenerate' it?

Thanks John... maybe it was the Beyonce that helped the mutt?

I sure hope that one day, I'll discover that all my skepticism is misplaced. I will say that I've seen some pretty amazing recoveries from treatments that make no sense to me. Whatever works!

To me I'd try it. It's for pain relief not to "un-degenerate" anything. I believe there is something like this for humans as well called low level laser therapy or some such thing.
