Our veterinarians and veterinary staff place the greatest importance on your pet’s well-being and comfort. There is perhaps no better example of this is our Class IV 12W Therapy Laser – the most powerful and effective therapy laser available on the planet.
Our adaption to this treatment and this laser is another example of our animal hospital’s commitment to bringing pets the most effective treatment and latest technology. We believe that providing a pain-free and non-invasive treatment can greatly increase the quality of life for your pet. Laser therapy is a safe FDA-approved modality, often resulting in the reduction or elimination of pain medications for our patients.
As with the most advanced human therapeutic lasers – a deep-penetrating light allows serious relief from pain – without any medications or dangerous side effects! The beneficial effects of the laser are many, and include:
- Relieves Pain
- Reduces Inflammation
- Accelerates Healing Through Tissue Repair
- Improves Circulation
- Reduces Scar Formation
- Improves Nerve and Immune Function
- Stimulates Acupuncture Points
Arthritis, joint problems, and soft tissue injuries are just a few examples of the many conditions helped by this noninvasive modality. Laser therapy is also a standard part of our veterinary hospital’s post-surgery protocol, thanks to its ability to reduce pain and significantly improve healing. Unless contraindicated, every orthopedic surgical patient can rely on at least one additional treatment.
Pet health conditions that respond best to laser therapy include:
- Arthritic conditions such as hip or elbow dysplasia
- Neck or back pain such as intervertebral disc disease
- Wound healing such as post surgical incisions or trauma
- Dermatological conditions such as lick granulomas, chronic ear infections, or severe hot spots
- Soft tissue damage such as muscle, ligament, and tendon injury
- Geriatric aches and pains such as degenerative joint disease
Even though laser therapy requires multiple treatments, many pet owners notice improvement within the first few sessions. At our animal hospital, you can trust that your veterinarian will develop a treatment plan that is customized to your pet’s unique needs — we won’t prescribe anything unless we feel it would be a great benefit to your furry friend.
If your four-legged family member lives with chronic pain or is on daily pain medication the therapeutic laser may help. Talk with our veterinarians during your next wellness exam or schedule an appointment at our animal clinic to discuss this exciting new technology for your pet.
