What is Laser Therapy and How Does it Help?

Laser therapy is a drug free, non invasive option for pain relief in pets.
The infrared light targets the mitochondria in damaged cells and stimulates them to regenerate and return to optimal function. This process is called photobiomodulation and only impacts damaged cells.

It can be used to treat both acute and chronic pain, post surgical pain, arthritis, wounds, skin conditions, ear infections and more.
Laser therapy compliments existing treatment plans, and can help reduce the need for prescription medications.

What are Treatments Like?

Treatment is fast and comfortable for your pet. The soothing warmth of the laser helps ease pain, reduce inflammation and speed recovery.
While your pet receives treatment, they wear protective eye goggles. You are welcome to be with your pet during treatment, and will also wear protective eye glasses.

No clipping or shaving of the fur is required as the light penetrates through fur, skin and fat to reach damaged tissues.
Some conditions require several treatment sessions to achieve the desired outcome.

Laser Therapy for Pets

WHAT IS LASER THERAPY?

Laser therapy for pets is a non-invasive treatment designed to reduce pain and inflammation, and to speed healing. This treatment is quickly becoming standard of care in both human and veterinary medicine.

Our staff members administer laser therapy via a hand piece that emits this therapeutic infrared light in a fast, drug-free, and soothing treatment. The light can treat surface problems such as wounds, as well as deeper structures, penetrating through fur, skin, and fat if necessary to reach damaged tissue. The therapeutic infrared light targets the mitochondria in damaged cells and stimulates them to regenerate and return to optimal function.

This regenerative process is called photo biomodulation (PBM). PBM does not impact normal cells, but can help damaged cells to recover from injury faster. Laser therapy can be utilized as an adjunct to existing treatments, often reducing or replacing the need for pain medications.
