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 that uses laser technology to stimulate the body’s natural healing and pain control response. Through this innovative technique, your loved one can enjoy decreased pain, improved mobility, and quicker recovery periods. It can be used as an independent therapy or as a complement to other treatment methods—such as medications, surgery, or physical therapy—to enhance outcomes.

Benefits of Laser Therapy

• Anti-Inflammation – decreases swelling from bruising/inflammation
• Pain relief – blocks pain by decreasing nerve sensitivity
• Accelerates tissue repair, cell growth and nerve function
• Improves circulation
• Accelerates healing and reduces scarring
• Enhances quality of life, particularly for senior pets

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

Treatment Protocol

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