What will Veterinary Laser Therapy do for
my pet?
Veterinary Laser Therapy provides a sterile, pain-free, non-invasive, drug-free
pain relief treatment for a variety of conditions such as acute injuries,
wounds, fractures, neurological conditions, numerous dermatological problems,
and pain.
Whether your pet is rehabilitating from trauma or injury, healing from
wounds, or simply aging, your companion will benefit from this revolutionary new
approach to Veterinary medicine. Veterinary Laser Therapy is the only course of treatment that actually
stimulates the body to heal from within.
Non-thermal photons of light are
administered to the body and absorbed by the injured cells. The cells are then
stimulated and respond with a higher rate of metabolism. The result is increased
circulation from the body, an anti-inflammatory reaction, relief from pain and
an acceleration of the healing process.
What should I expect during a Veterinary
Laser Therapy
treatment session for my pet?
Simply put,
Veterinary Laser Therapy provides relief from pain. As the laser is
administered, your pet will relax and experience a good massage. Relief almost
immediate in most cases, making your pet more comfortable, without experiencing
sustained anxiety or trauma.
Veterinary Laser Therapy delivers light energy
to the tissues of the body, which relieves inflammation, increases blood supply
and nutritional elements to the affected tissues while also reducing swelling
and pain. Veterinary Laser Therapy is particularly effective in the treatment
of arthritis in older pets, acute back injuries, post-surgical therapy and is
used on fresh or infected wounds to speed up the healing process.
Angry feline companions will
start to purr and most canine companions will actually fall asleep during their
therapy session. Pain relief is provided in just a few minutes of therapy,
improving the quality of life for your best friend.
Treatments take about 5 minutes and the laser
feels warm on the skin, just like lying on the beach, catching a few rays! It
is a pleasant sensation and most pets experience pain relief in 24 hours or
less. Chronic arthritis cases are typically treated twice weekly for 3
weeks. Treatments can
be repeated at 1 or 2 month intervals if needed.
