WHAT IS LASER THERAPY? 

Laser therapy is a noninvasive treatment designed to reduce pain and inflammation, and to speed  healing.  This treatment is quickly becoming standard of care in both human and veterinary  medicine.  Our staff members administer laser therapy via a handpiece that emits this therapeutic  infrared light in a fast, drug-free, and soothing treatment. The light can treat surface problems  such as wounds, as well as deeper structures, penetrating through fur, skin, and fat if necessary  to reach damaged tissue.  The therapeutic infrared light targets the mitochondria in damaged cells and stimulates them to  regenerate and stimulates them to return to optimal function.  This regenerative process is called  photobiomodulation (PBM).  PBM does not impact normal cells, but can help damaged cells to recover  from injury faster.  Laser therapy can be utilized as an adjunct to existing treatments, often reducing or replacing the  need for pain medications.

WHAT ARE TREATMENTS LIKE?

Laser therapy treatments are fast and pain-free, making them well-tolerated by most pets.  There is  no clipping or shaving required for the treatment area.  When your pet arrives for therapy they  will be situated in a comfortable position, and may be outfitted with laser-safe doggles.  You will  also receive laser-safe eyewear to wear during treatment if you remain with your pet during  therapy.  Treatments take approximately 5 - 10 minutes depending on the size of the treatment area and the  condition being treated.  During this treatment your pet will experience a soothing warmth that  often relaxes patients, and sometimes makes them go to sleep!  Some conditions require several treatment sessions for optimal outcomes.  When your pet’s condition  is evaluated your veterinarian will discuss their recommendations with you.
