LIBERTY LAKE, WA, March 26, 2013 (Press-News.org) Spokane Veterinarian and alternative pet healthcare provider, Legacy Animal Medical Center, recently added cold laser therapy to their alternative healthcare offerings to aid pets that suffer from arthritis, severe muscle pain and skin issues. Laser therapy has been used in humans for decades and is a new development and hot trend in the veterinary world.
Several major studies have been conducted over the past two decades on cold laser therapy, including studies from the Food and Drug Administration, Baylor College of Medicine and the Wellman Center from Photomedicine at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston. These studies showed that laser therapy reduces pain in approximately 70% of patients on a wide array of injuries and conditions, while the other 30% see no change with zero adverse effects.
"We typically use laser therapy to increase the rate of healing after certain surgical treatments," stated Dr. Mark Fosberg, founder of Legacy Animal Medical Center and Head Veterinarian. "Laser therapy is very effective in healing dogs and cats that suffer from strains, sprains, arthritis or suffering from old age."
Cold laser therapy is a noninvasive procedure and is based on the idea that the light emitted by the laser is absorbed through the pet's body at the site of administration and into their cells. Therapy sessions typically last 10 to 15 minutes, but can last up to 30 minutes on a larger dog or if we are treating multiple areas. Animals experience no discomfort and often sleep through the therapy sessions. Pets often see immediate results and continued therapy sessions are recommended for pets with severe arthritis or chronic medical conditions.

Criticism and Changes to the Maryland Sex Offender Registry
2013-03-26
The modern sex offender registry is an online repository of information about people who have been convicted of sex crimes. It's called the "SOR" on the Maryland Department of Public Safety website, and you can search by name, zip code, even an interactive map.
Sex offender registries exist in one form or another across the nation, but there are differences state to state. However, most (if not all) state registries are public in nature.
The original sex offender registry came about under the federal Adam Walsh Child Protection and Safety Act - named after ...

U.S. lawmakers consider relaxed marijuana restrictions
Over the last few years, societal attitudes toward marijuana use have changed significantly. Many states now allow the use of marijuana for medical reasons and two -- Colorado and Washington -- recently allowed recreational use of the drug. Given this state-level trend, it should come as no surprise to learn that some in Congress are working to relax federal marijuana laws as well.
The proposed laws are nowhere close to a full-scale marijuana legalization scheme. However, they do signal a first step toward changing ...

Should Texas pass a law against texting while driving?
Over the last couple years, there has been a lot of attention paid to the dangers of distracted driving. Perhaps the biggest proponent of the issue has been outgoing Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood, who made distracted driving awareness one of the hallmarks of his term in office.
In response to this safety campaign, many states have passed laws prohibiting all drivers from sending or reviewing text messages while driving. Texas, however, has not joined the trend. While Texas law prohibits young drivers and ...

Allegedly drugged driver causes fatality on icy Garden State Parkway
On an blustery winter New Jersey Saturday afternoon in March 2013, ice caused many accidents along the Garden State Parkway in the vicinity of Lacey Township. One young driver lost control of her car in the icy conditions, ending up on the shoulder of the busy toll way. The kind driver of a passing van stopped to help her, and he and his three passengers got out to push her stopped vehicle over to safety.
Then the unthinkable happened -- a Chrysler PT Cruiser driven by a young man in his 20s also ...

Thinking of filing for divorce? Mediation may be the answer
Divorce often takes a heavy emotional toll on many families. One of the spouses may be caught by surprise, and try to convince the other that they can work out their differences. In some situations, this allows the couple to resolve the problems that they are having, and they go on to have long-lasting and successful marriages.
However, in most cases, the changes are only temporary. The underlying issues that led to the problems in the relationship are not addressed, leaving both spouses unsure of what to ...

Are neutral evaluators in Florida sinkhole disputes really "neutral?"
A few years ago, a change was made to Florida law that was originally touted as a fair and evenhanded way to help homeowners and insurance providers settle sinkhole damage disputes - otherwise known as the "Neutral Evaluation Process."
Under this process - which is regulated by the Florida Department of Financial Services (DFS) - if a disagreement develops between a Florida homeowner and his or her insurance provider regarding a sinkhole insurance claim, either party can ask ...
