Photobiomodulation (PBM) therapy represents a non-invasive, scientifically validated method that uses specific wavelengths of light to stimulate cellular repair, reduce inflammation, and modulate pain. In veterinary medicine, PBM has become an increasingly valuable tool for accelerating tissue healing and improving the quality of life in animals with acute or chronic conditions. This study presents three clinical cases treated at Vet Center Conero using Elioslamp PBM devices: a post-surgical wound in a dog, a cat affected by osteoarthritis, and an equine tendon lesion. Results showed accelerated healing, significant pain reduction, and structural recovery, confirming the clinical efficacy and safety of PBM in veterinary practice.
