Cancer is one of the most common medical conditions affecting companion animals. It is particularly common in pets that are over the age of 10 years.

Laser Therapy 

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

Laser therapy uses painless waves of light to treat areas of the body that are experiencing pain or have suffered trauma. This triggers a natural healing response without the need for medication or other invasive measures. As a result, your loved one can enjoy decreased pain, enhanced mobility and shorter recovery periods.

What is veterinary laser therapy?

Using a small, handheld device, the doctor applies a low level laser to the area on question, stimulating normal cellular function. This results in faster wound healing and enhanced pain relief. Best of all, because laser therapy requires no medication or surgery, there are no harmful side effects.

What are the 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 used to address a wide variety of of conditions, including:

• Arthritis

How many sessions will my pet need?

Because every patient is different, their response to laser therapy is equally unique. Depending on your loved one’s specific condition, its severity and a number of other determining factors, treatment strategies will vary. For some animals, positive results can be seen after just one session. Others may require a more long-term strategy to achieve the desired outcome.
