How Laser Therapy Can Benefit Your Pet
Laser therapy uses focused light energy to stimulate your pet’s natural healing process. The light penetrates deep into tissues, increasing circulation, reducing inflammation, and releasing endorphins, the body’s natural painkillers. The result? Less pain, faster healing, and better mobility.
We use laser therapy to treat a wide range of conditions, including:
- Arthritis and joint pain
- Muscle and ligament injuries
- Post-surgical incisions
- Ear infections
- Wound healing
- Lick granulomas and hot spots
- Back pain and intervertebral disc disease (IVDD)
- Dental inflammation
- Anal gland inflammation
For pets dealing with chronic conditions or recovering from surgery, laser therapy can be an important part of a well-rounded treatment plan that may include rehabilitation therapies, helping them bounce back sooner and feel better, longer.
What to Expect During Your Pet’s Laser Therapy Session
Laser therapy treatments are quick, gentle, and completely noninvasive. Most sessions take only a few minutes and don’t require sedation. In fact, many pets find the treatment relaxing, as the laser works to soothe their aches and pains away.
Here’s what you can expect:
Exam:
We’ll start with a full evaluation of your pet’s condition and medical history.
Treatment:
A trained team member will gently guide the handheld laser device over the affected area.
Healing:
Most pets experience warmth or mild tingling (if anything at all).
Aftercare:
There’s no downtime. Your pet can go home and resume normal activity right away.
Depending on your pet’s condition, we may recommend a series of treatments for the best results. Chronic conditions often benefit from ongoing therapy, while post-surgical healing may require only a few sessions.
