What is veterinary laser therapy?

Laser therapy involves the use of a small, handheld device which emits the laser, targeting areas on the body that have experienced trauma, injury or pain. The laser produces a cellular response within the damaged area, which in turn triggers the body’s natural pain relief and healing mechanisms. It is completely painless, drug-free and non-invasive, making it a favorable treatment option for many pet parents.

What can laser therapy treat?

Veterinary laser therapy has been proven to be highly effective in reducing pain, improving mobility and speeding the healing process following surgery or injury. Specifically, we can use this innovative technology to treat and manage any of the following illnesses and ailments:

Acute and Chronic Pain

How many treatments will my pet need?

Every pet is unique, as is the particular condition being addressed. Once the doctor has had the chance to examine and evaluate your pet’s particular needs, you will be provided with an individualized treatment plan recommendation. This will include the proposed number, frequency and duration of sessions that we believe will be necessary to help your pet achieve optimum results.

If your pet suffers from a chronic medical condition, recently underwent surgery or became injured, or just seems to be experiencing difficulty getting around like he or she used to, laser therapy may be just the solution. We can help your loved one live a happier, more comfortable life.
