Pet Laser Therapy
Pet Laser Therapy
Whether your pet is rehabilitating from trauma or injury, healing from wounds, or simply aging, your companion will benefit from this revolutionary approach to pain management.
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 enhances the body’s ability to heal itself.
Treatments are a safe and relaxing experience for pets, and many actually fall asleep during the session.
Conditions improved with laser therapy:
Hip dysplasia
Post-surgical incisions and soft-tissue trauma
Arthritis and degenerative joint disease
Musculoskeletal injuries
Neuromuscular disease
