Therapeutic lasers emit a single wavelength of light in the near infrared spectrum which penetrates skin, muscle, tendons, and ligaments to promote healing from within. Laser light stimulates healing by increasing circulation, reducing inflammation, relieving pain, and promoting cell growth.
Can laser therapy be used with traditional treatments?
Laser therapy can compliment the effects of oral pain relievers, nutritional supplements, chiropractic, and acupuncture treatments. It can be very beneficial for patients that are sensitive to medications since it is a non-invasive method of pain relief.
How long does it take to see results?
Some owners will notice improvements after the first visit, however, most pets will need 2-3 treatments before we see a response. When treating arthritis, owners often notice an improvement in their pets movement and ability to walk up stairs, improved attitude, and increased willingness to play.
