Laser Therapy
Laser therapy (photobiomodulation) is an innovative healing therapy with a variety of uses.
Utilizing the energy from a specific wavelength of light, laser therapy stimulates healthy cellular function within your pet’s muscles and tissues to:
- Reduce pain
- Decrease inflammation and swelling
- Promote normal blood and lymphatic circulation
- Speed metabolism and waste product removal
- Accelerate the healing process
Comfortable, stress-free care for pets
Unlike some other therapies that may require uncomfortable positioning or processes, laser therapy is gentle, pet-friendly, and non-invasive. Pets can sit or stand during most treatments or lie on a comfy bed. Treatments usually last a few minutes per body area. During laser therapy, pets experience a gentle warmth, similar to a sunbeam. Benefits will vary from pet to pet, but many owners report noticeable improvements with only a few treatments.
Conditions treated with laser therapy
Laser therapy has no known side effects and few contraindications, making it the perfect addition to many treatment plans. Conditions commonly treated with laser therapy include:
- Arthritis
- Joint or muscle pain (acute and chronic)
