Cold Laser Therapy

Our Class IV Companion Therapy Laser unit uses a beam of laser light to deeply penetrate tissue without damaging it. Laser energy induces a biological response in the cells, which increases cellular health and energy. This energy is only absorbed by unhealthy cells; they have no effect on normal, healthy cells. The therapeutic benefits include pain relief, reduction in inflammation, accelerated tissue repair, improved circulation, improved nerve function, reduced scar tissue formation, and accelerated wound healing.

What to Expect at Your Pet’s Laser Therapy Appointment

The first step is a complete physical exam. We will customize a unique treatment protocol tailored to your pet’s condition. Laser therapy can be administered as a sole treatment or it can be used to enhance other treatment plans. Treatments will vary in time, complexity, and cost. We will thoroughly discuss the treatment recommendation with you before proceeding with the recommended regimen.

Laser therapy treatment is a very soothing experience. Your pet will feel gentle warmth along with massage-like sensation administered by the technician. In a small number of cases, pets may experience a little soreness after their treatment, similar to the effect you might experience following a deep tissue massage.
