Laser Therapy For Dogs
Laser therapy for dogs is one of the most effective animal rehabilitation modalities for treating pain and promoting healing in pets who are suffering from a wide array of ailments, an injury or who is recovering from surgery. Laser therapy, sometimes referred to as “cold laser,” uses specific frequencies of light to penetrate deep into your pet’s tissues. The treated cells then use this light energy to stimulate, repair and regenerate themselves. Like acupuncture, the laser activates your pet’s natural healing abilities to increase circulation, at the same time reducing inflammation and fluid build-up in the treated area. Following are just some of the ailments laser therapy can help improve.
Indications for Laser Therapy for dogs
- Joint pain or injury
- Ligament and tendon injuries (especially effective with ACL injuries)
- Arthritis
- Skin abrasions
- Post-surgery wound care
- Disc disease
- Paralysis
Eliminating pain and reducing inflammation through laser therapy allows your pet to quickly regain mobility and strength. This is especially beneficial for pets that are recovering from surgery or injury, and older pets who’ve become depressed due to lack of activity. Laser therapy also helps to release endorphins, your pet’s natural painkillers, reduce stress and anxiety.
