Laser Therapy
What is Laser Therapy?
Laser therapy is a surgery-free, drug-free, noninvasive treatment to reduce pain, reduce inflammation, and speed healing. It is not painful and requires no anesthetic. Laser therapy has been scientifically proven to be successful in treating post-surgical pain and many acute and chronic conditions.
How it Works
The laser light is delivered through a noninvasive hand piece to treat the affected area(s). Your pet will feel a gentle and soothing warm sensation that they may even find relaxing. Response time varies, but most owners see a difference after only a few treatments. Therapy sessions can last anywhere from a few minutes to an hour, depending on the area(s) being treated. These sessions are performed in a quiet, comfortable room. Treatment protocols are unique to each patient and condition. Therefore, treatments will vary in time, complexity, and cost. We always provide treatment estimates prior to beginning therapy. A more detailed explanation can be seen here:

Laser Facts Laser therapy is a drug-free, non-invasive alternative and integrative therapy. In many cases, it provides superior healing ability to conventional treatment alone. Cold laser therapeutic effectiveness was discovered by Hungarian physician Endre Mester in 1967, only a few years after the laser was invented. Ironically, laser therapy was used on humans before it was used on dogs and cats. Typically, products are tested on animals first. Technology has helped make laser therapy for animals feasible and affordable.
