Laser Therapy

Does your four-legged family member suffer from chronic pain? Has a recent surgery or injury slowed your normally active companion down?

Laser therapy is a non-invasive treatment method that uses light to stimulate the body’s natural healing and pain control response. Through this innovative technology, your loved one can enjoy less pain, better mobility and shorter recovery periods. It can be used as an independent therapy 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 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
• Lick Granulomas

Treatment Protocol

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