We’re always looking for new ways to care for our pets, especially when it comes to pain management. That is why we provide laser therapy.
Veterinary laser therapy is a cutting-edge medical treatment. It is a painless, surgery-free, and drug-free treatment used to treat various illnesses. It can be used in line with other treatments, including post-surgery recovery. The application is non-invasive and, in many cases, quite relaxing and healing for pets.
What kinds of illnesses may laser treatment treat?
Veterinary laser therapy can be used to treat a wide range of conditions, including:
- Arthritis
- Dysplasia of the hip
- Backache
- Gingivitis
- Wounds that haven’t healed
- Infections of the ears
- Infections of the anal glands
- Injuries to the muscles, ligaments, and tendons
- Soft tissue injury
- Trembling
What is the procedure for laser therapy, and what is it for?
Laser therapy uses deep-penetrating light to stimulate a cascade of chemical processes. This technique reduces pain by releasing endorphins and stimulates wounded cells to repair faster.
Although improvement is generally visible following the first session, your pet’s health determines the length and frequency of laser treatments. The pet checkup treatment times vary, but most sites require 3 to 10 minutes. Allow your veterinarian to assist you in developing an appropriate laser treatment program for your pet.
Pain Alleviation
Laser treatments are a fantastic technique to relieve your pet’s suffering. Laser therapy relieves pain by decreasing inflammation by opening blood vessels to activate the lymphatic drainage system, draining the swollen tissues.
The lasers also target nerve cells, which prevent pain signals from reaching the brain and hence reduce nerve sensitivity. Your pet will feel less pain since there is less inflammation, swelling, and disruption of pain signals to the brain.
Recuperate From an Injury or Surgery
Veterinary laser treatment is a useful technique for post-operative rehabilitation. In minor circumstances, laser therapy may be sufficient to relieve pain and stimulate the healing process. Laser treatments, because they act directly on injured or afflicted regions, can help speed up healing, build muscle and tissue, improve mobility, and improve your pet’s general quality of life almost instantly.
Is laser therapy appropriate for my pet?
Many of our veterinary treatment patients are senior citizens suffering from musculoskeletal issues. The following are some indications that your older mate is in pain or discomfort:
- Incorrect sitting or sleeping posture
- Restlessness
- Whining, groaning, or other vocalizations are prohibited.
- Limping and unable to stand or lie down
- Difficulties getting into or out of the car or descending
- Inadequate grooming
- Will not wagtail
- Area of licking or biting
- Appetite loss
- Trembling
What can I expect from my pet’s laser therapy session?
For 3 to 10 minutes, a professional will hold the laser wand directly over the affected area. No pain is connected with the treatment, and most pets will fall asleep during their session. The virtually instantaneous reduction of discomfort will allow your pet to feel comfortable, and any worry they may have initially will fade soon.
