Therapeutic laser is a relatively new treatment modality with many benefits and almost no adverse effects.
Laser therapy is a drug-free, surgery-free, pain-free treatment for your pet. Laser therapy is the use of specific wavelengths of light to create the following therapeutic effects:
- Pain reduction
- Increased circulation
- Improved speed of healing
- Decreased swelling
Therapeutic Effects
Physiologic changes that occur from therapeutic laser treatment are:
- Increased circulation: Stimulation of blood and lymph flow to the treated area reduces edema and brings healing to the affected area.
- Faster wound healing: The laser stimulates healing factors such as fibroblasts in wounds and dramatically expedites wound healing.
- Anti-inflammatory action: The laser reduces swelling and inflammation of joints to improve joint mobility and reduce pain. It relieves symptoms of arthritis.
During each painless treatment, laser energy increases circulation, drawing water, oxygen, and nutrients to the damaged area. This creates an optimal healing environment that reduces inflammation, swelling, muscle spasms, stiffness, and pain. As the injured area returns to normal, function is restored and pain is relieved.
