Laser Therapy

Does your pet suffer from chronic pain? Has a recent injury or surgery slowed your normally active companion down?

Laser therapy is a painless, non-invasive treatment modality that uses light to stimulate the body’s natural healing and pain control response. Through this innovative technology, your pet can enjoy decreased pain, enhanced mobility and shorter recovery periods. Laser therapy can be used independently or as a complement to other treatment methods. 

Benefits of Laser Therapy

• Anti-Inflammation – decreases swelling from bruising/inflammation
• Anti-Pain – blocks pain by decreasing nerve sensitivity
• Accelerates tissue repair, cell growth and nerve function
• Improves circulation
• Accelerates healing and reduces scarring

What can laser therapy treat?

Laser therapy can be used to address a wide variety of conditions, including:

• Arthritis
• Disc Disease
• Hip Dysplasia
• Degenerative Joint Disease
• Sprains and Strains
• Cranial Cruciate Ligament
• Dental Problems
• Chronic Pain and Inflammation
• Dermatological Conditions

Treatment Protocol

Because every animal is different, their response to the therapeutic laser is equally unique. Depending on your pet’s specific condition, its severity, and a number of other determining factors, treatment recommendations will vary.
