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.
