Laser Therapy for Animals

What is laser therapy for animals?

Laser therapy is a pain-free and drug-free treatment
that is used to treat a variety of injuries, pain,
wounds, fractures, neurological conditions, and
dermatological problems in pets. It is extremely
safe and effective and has no side effects, and no
sedation is necessary.
Laser therapy treatment delivers high spectrum
light waves into the body, relieving discomfort
and reducing stiffness. Laser therapy can be used
for:
Arthritis
Degenerative joint disease
Intervertebral disc disease
Back pain
Wounds
Traumatic dermatitis
Muscle, ligament and tendon injuries
Sprains and strains
Lick granulomas
Dermatological injuries
Ulcerations and open wounds
Post-surgical and soft tissue trauma
Neuromuscular disease
Pain associated with aging

Elaine often administers laser therapy as an added
approach with acupuncture or osteopathy to help
cure various ailments. It is particularly useful with
geriatric animals, especially when more invasive
methods are not practical.

How does it work?
Laser therapy is a treatment that prompts the
body to heal from within. Non-thermal photons of
light are administered directly to your pet’s body
and absorbed by the injured cells. The cells then
become activated and reproduce at a higher speed.
The laser also boosts circulation in the body and
causes a natural anti-inflammatory reaction, which
results in immediate pain relief and a dramatic
acceleration of the healing process. There is no
burning or stinging; your pet will only feel a little
warmth on the affected area.
 
How long does it take?
Laser therapy treatments last up to 30 minutes
per session. Most pets undergo between one and
six sessions; treatment varies per pet and ailment.
Relief is usually immediate.

How can laser therapy help my pet?
Laser therapy offers a pain-free and drug-free way
to alleviate acute and chronic pain. It can provide
your pet with much-needed instantaneous relief. It
is completely non-invasive and a favorite treatment
among pets.

Is it painful? How will my pet react?
Most pets will be very relaxed, as laser therapy
does not hurt at all. Some cats may purr. Most dogs
tend to fall asleep during their sessions. Your pet
will usually feel instant relief.

Is it safe?
Laser therapy is one of the safest therapies available
when practiced by an experienced laser therapist.
Side effects are unusual with laser therapy.
