How We Use Laser Therapy to Treat Our Patients
Our therapeutic laser can provide low-stress pain relief and healing for pets recovering from surgical procedures, chronic conditions, and injuries.
The use of laser therapy during recovery after surgery can reduce a pet's healing time and help manage any discomfort your dog or cat may feel. Laser light can be especially useful for major soft tissue or orthopedic surgeries as it can reduce inflammation and swelling and accelerate tissue healing.
Laser therapy can help reduce pain or inflammation in the joints and be used during physical rehabilitation in order to:
- Increase range of motion and mobility
- Decrease pain
- Build strength and endurance
- Reduce swelling and inflammation due to injury or surgery
In addition, laser therapy can be used to help treat a range of conditions or injuries that may affect pets, including:
- Osteoarthritis
- Bacterial skin infections
- Hot spots
- Muscle spasms
- Open wounds
- Bladder inflammation
- Tendon or ligament injuries
The Primary Health Benefits of Laser Therapy for Dogs and Cats
Laser therapy is highly beneficial to our patients in several ways. The treatment itself is comfortable and potentially even relaxing, as it releases muscle tension and endorphins. While pain relief and healing are our main goals for your pet with laser treatment, increased blood circulation, improved mobility, and increased energy are also ideal outcomes.
