Fb Live Q & A, April 20

QUESTIONS:

Therese: Is it ok to torch standard points on a horse or dog every 2 or 3 days all year round for general maintenance? What would you recommend? Thank you!

Diane: I want to use the torch for an extruded and swollen lumbar disk and 3 vertebrae surrounded by much scar tissue. The disk is swollen soo much it is putting tremendous pressure on the sciatic nerve. Can not move because of pain. Dr is doing epidural injections. cortisone Does that keep the light from having any effect?? How long after injection will the light help? What effect does the pain med have on the light?

Lisa: Hello, I was wondering if you have any documentation on how I would use red light therapy to help my horse recover from surgery? I have attached the vet report which explains the procedure carried out.

I purchased the red light to treat him for colic but didn’t know the cause of the colic at the time. Hopefully, now that he has had the surgery he will be less likely to colic (although in saying this horses that have had colic surgery are more susceptible to future colic episodes. He is coming home tomorrow hopefully.

Eliane: Hi Eva, I have a question regarding the battery in the torch, do we have to exchange them after some time because after I have charged it, the light does not stay strong for more than 30 minutes. Or is it something else. Thanks

Paul: Can an infrared light therapy panel do much for an extensively torn shoulder labrum and frayed rotator cuff or for an inguinal hernia or groin injury? If not what non-invasive non-needle options would help?
