Veterinary Laser Therapy (Class IV Cold Laser)

WHAT IS VETERINARY LASER THERAPY AND HOW DOES IT WORK?

Laser therapy, is a non-invasive treatment using photobiomodulation, that utilizes light energy to promote healing in dogs. This therapy is designed to reduce pain and inflammation while accelerating recovery from various conditions.

Photobiomodulation (PBM) therapy occurs when a dose of light energy

reaches target tissue and results in

decreased inflammation, decreased pain, and accelerated healing

Key Benefits

  • Non-Invasive: The treatment does not require surgery or medication.

  • Pain Relief: Effectively alleviates pain associated with both acute and chronic conditions.

  • Accelerated Healing: Promotes faster recovery from injuries and surgeries.. Unlike laser surgery which cuts into the skin, laser therapy merely adds heat to areas of the body to promote circulation. Your pet can avoid invasive surgery while undergoing a much less stressful procedure.

This is completely non-invasive. They may feel a warm sensation which makes therapy comforting rather than scary. Treatment sessions tend to be relatively short which is another added benefit for your pet.

The advantages of this form of therapy are immediately apparent as it boosts the circulation which leads to faster healing from injuries and pain relief from muscle strains, joint problems, arthritis, and other conditions.
