Laser therapy is a non-invasive, pain-free and drug free treatment for a variety of conditions. It uses deep penetrating light to promote a chain of chemical reactions known as photobiostimulation. This process helps relieve pain through the release of endorphins and it stimulates injured cells to heal at an accelerated pace.
Dog laser therapy can be used to treat a multitude of ailments, including:
- Muscle, ligament and tendon injuries
- Post-surgical and soft tissue trauma
- Back pain
- Ear Infections
- Hot Spots and open wounds
- Arthritis / hip dysplasia
- Degenerative disc disease
- Anal Gland Infections
In a laser therapy session, a technician will move a laser wand over the affected area. These sessions are usually on 3 to 10 minutes long depending on how many sites are being treated. Each condition may have different treatment protocols so please talk with our doctors to determine the best treatment plan for your pet’s condition.
