What is laser therapy?
Pet laser therapy focuses red and infrared light on tissue at and below the skin’s surface. The light energizes the cells, producing a structural protein called collagen, which is used to repair tissue. Lasers continue to promote healing by supporting vascular dilation and synthesis, increasing blood circulation to the affected region. The stimulation also releases the body’s own pain-relieving hormones and endorphins.
The process generally takes between 5-10 minutes, with most patients seeing positive effects after 3-5 uses. The treatment continues to relieve pain and fight inflammation for up to 24 hours following the session.
Spotlight on healing
Pet laser therapy has been proven to be highly effective in reducing pain, improving mobility, and speeding the healing process following surgery or injury. We can use this innovative technology to treat and manage illnesses and ailments like:
- Acute and Chronic Pain
- Arthritis
- Degenerative Disc Disease
- Neck and Back Pain
- Sprains and Strains
- Injuries to the Muscles, Joints, or Ligaments
- Fractures
- Post-Surgical Recovery
- Wound Healing
- Rehabilitation
- Dermatological Conditions
- And more
Laser therapy has become increasingly popular in veterinary medicine because it is non-invasive, painless, and has virtually no side effects.
