Surgery, whether minor or major, is a significant event for your body. The process involves physical trauma that requires your body to undergo a healing process. This is where Photobiomodulation (PBM), also known as Red Light Therapy, comes into play. By using specific wavelengths of light, PBM can help to prep your cells for surgery and aid in faster, more effective healing.

Bumblefoot, also known as ulcerative pododermatitis, is a common bacterial infection that occurs on the feet of penguins as well as other birds and animals. The bacteria naturally occurs in the animal’s environment and infection breaks out when there is a scrape or cut in the skin. Despite it’s quirky name, Bumblefoot can be fatal if left untreated. Warning signs include limping, lopsided posture and lying down for extended periods of time.
