Laser Therapy

Does your pet suffer from a painful chronic condition? Has a recent surgery or injury slowed your normally active companion down?

Laser therapy is a non-invasive, painless treatment that uses the power of light to stimulate the body’s natural healing and pain control response. Through this innovative technology, your loved one can enjoy decreased pain, enhanced mobility and quicker recovery periods. It can be used as an independent therapy or in conjunction with 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 be applied to a wide variety of conditions, including:

• Arthritis
• Disc Disease
• Hip Dysplasia
• Degenerative Joint Disease

• Cranial Cruciate Ligament
• Dental Problems

Treatment Protocol

Because every patient 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 strategy may vary.
