About the Seminar

One Safe Laser for ALL Life Stages: In-Clinic, Surgical, and Ambulatory Applications!

This webinar will include a brief review of the unique features of the Erchonia non-thermal visible light wavelength laser system and ways to communicate the perception of value to clients, staff, and colleagues. (The animal patients don’t need convincing!!!)

A thorough discussion will occur on the importance of case selection and communicating realistic expectations that will set everyone up for successful outcomes!

Tips and experiences will be shared on practical and productive use of this safe healing device in a busy multi-doctor clinic, in an ambulatory house/farm-call setting, as well as the potential for volunteer contribution of services in 501-C3, non-profits and low-income settings.

An interactive discussion of specific case conundrums offered by attendees, as well as numerous multi-species cases previously treated and some currently being managed by Dr. Janet, will be the highlight for both new and existing laser practitioners!
These range from performance enhancement, orthopedic and neurological conditions, geriatric management, peri-operative applications, wound management, calming fractious animals, laminitis/colic in horses, exotics, wildlife…the list is endless! (The time, however, is not, and will attempt to be held to 1 hour)
Join the fun!
Bring your cases and imagination, and be prepared for “mind blown”!

Seminar Topics

  • Enlighten attendees to the versatility and safe application of non-thermal laser devices based on peer reviewed studies
  • Empower colleagues in the handling of the laser equipment, as well as designing basic treatment protocols.
  • Inspire confidence in colleagues and staff in enrolling client acceptance of this non-invasive healing modality that activates innate healing pathways.
  • Confidence in designing follow up appointments for multiple conditions such as “prehabilitation” for upcoming orthopedic surgeries, non-surgical ACL management, IVDD cases, Osteoarthritis, Degenerative Myelopathy, Laminitis, and more!

Personal Profile:

Dr. Janet Gordon Palm is a practicing integrative medicine veterinarian who is continually reinventing herself as she learns of new non-invasive modalities to forward healing. Graduating from Kansas State University in 1981, Dr. Janet practiced medicine and surgery in small animal, avian and exotics, initially in California, then Minnesota, before relocating to the veritable playground known as the Western Slope of Colorado. Originally trained in conventional medicine, she naturally evolved to include complementary modalities such as neuronal adjustment, osteopathy, cranial sacral, acupressure, myofascial release, and LLLT.

She is actively involved in Natural Horsemanship and includes the concepts of recognizing and managing emotional states in horses through universal body language to all species. In 2010, she started her ambulatory practice "Animobility Integrative Veterinary Services".

An avid horseback rider, mountain biker, and hiker, she resides with her fellow adventure-loving dirt-bike riding husband Ron, in Fruita CO with two cats "Tesla" and "Puma", as well as her Arabian gelding “ To’hi ".
