What is Pet Laser Therapy?Heading
Pet laser therapy is a treatment that uses specific wavelengths of light to penetrate the tissue and promote healing at a cellular level. This therapy can reduce pain, decrease inflammation, and accelerate tissue repair. It’s a versatile treatment that can be used for a wide range of conditions.
During a pet laser therapy session, your pet will be comfortably positioned, and the laser device will be applied to the targeted area. Each session typically lasts between 5 to 20 minutes, depending on the condition being treated. Most pets find the procedure relaxing and experience immediate relief.
Benefits of Pet Laser TherapyHeading
Non-Invasive Treatment
One of the greatest advantages of pet laser therapy is that it is non-invasive. This means there is no need for surgery, anesthesia, or sedation, making it a safe option for pets of all ages and health statuses.
Pain Relief
Laser therapy effectively reduces pain by increasing endorphin release and decreasing nerve sensitivity. This is particularly beneficial for pets suffering from arthritis or recovering from surgery.
Reduced Inflammation
The therapy works by dilating blood vessels and increasing circulation, which helps reduce swelling and inflammation in the affected area.
Accelerated Healing
Laser therapy can speed up the healing process for injuries, wounds, and post-surgical recovery by stimulating cellular activity.
Numerous studies show that Laser Therapy can help with:
Osteoarthritis
