Laser Therapy

Reduce Pain, Improve Mobility, Enhance Quality of Life

Laser therapy is a new and exciting method of treatment that uses the best non-invasive technology we can to treat chronic pain, arthritis, and many other conditions and can be preformed in conjunction with existing medications and treatment protocols. Relief and or improvement are often noticed after the first treatment depending on the condition. Whether your pet is rehabilitating from trauma, injury, healing from wounds, recovering from surgery, or simply aging, your pet can benefit from this innovative approach to treatment.


Applications for laser therapy include:

• Treatment of arthritis, degenerative joint disease, or hip dysplasia • Dental procedures
• General pain management (sprains, strains, and stiffness) • Ear infections
• Post- surgery pain (spays, neuters, declaws, orthopedics) • Equine athletes with swollen tendons
• Skin problems (hot spots, lick granulomas, infections)

 

How does it work?

Laser therapy; also know as cold laser therapy stimulates the body to heal from within. Non-thermal photons of light are administered to the body for about 3-6 minutes and absorbed by the injured cells. The cells are stimulated and respond with a higher rate of metabolism. This results in relief from pain, increased circulation to the area, reduced inflammation, and acceleration of the healing process. This therapy is done in a series of “sessions” over a couple of weeks to continue to stimulate the damaged or inflamed tissue to repair itself.


What can my pet expect during a laser therapy treatment session?

Simply put it provides relief. As the laser light is administered, your pet will relax and enjoy the treatment. The almost immediate relief of pain will allow your pet to be comfortable and any anxiety that your pet initially experiences will dissipate.

Occasionally, grumpy cats will start to purr, dogs may actually fall asleep, and horses will relax enough to let their lower lip droop during a their therapy session.
