The Holistic Concept in Treatment of Chronic Disease:
Pulse Controlled Laser Acupuncture Concept (PCLAC, incl. Ear Acupuncture) in Horses and Dogs - Dr. Uwe Petermann

March 25-26, 2010 - APPROVED BY IVAS FOR 12.5 CREDITS

Laser acupuncture is much more than treating acupuncture points with laser beams instead of needles. Laser acupuncture is a wonderful combination of two very helpful therapy principles: Acupuncture and Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT)

In this two-day workshop participants will benefit from Dr. Petermann’s 23 years of experience in Pulse-Controlled laser acupuncture and ear acupuncture in veterinary medicine.

Dr. Petermann will introduce veterinarians to the RAC- Pulse Control and ear acupuncture for horses and dogs. In addition, useful combinations of laser therapy with traditional acupuncture and ear acupuncture will be explored. These protocols have demonstrated excellent results in treating acute and chronic bronchitis (RAO, COPD), chronic back pain, chronic lameness, infected tendon sheeth and joint inflammation, purulent sinusitis, degenerative joint diseases, eye conditions, diseases of the heart, kidneys, lungs, intestinal diseases, gynaecological conditions and many others in horses and dogs.
