Cold Laser
What is Cold Laser in medicine?
Photobiomodulation, commonly called laser therapy, uses beams of light to stimulate cellular processes. Much like sunlight helps a plant produce energy, laser therapy helps energize your pet's cells and promotes healing. This drug-free, side-effect free treatment can be used as an adjunct to your pet's prescribed treatment plan.
How does Cold Laser Work?
Scientifically proven intensities and frequencies of light are set to target your pet's damaged cells to induce regeneration. A handpiece is passed over your pet's injury or sites of concern. Depending on your pet's condition, a contact or non-contact applicator will be used.
There is no clipping or shaving of your pet's fur. Your pet will feel a gentle, soothing warmth as their pain is eased. Most pets are relaxed during treatments, and some even fall asleep.
Which conditions have potential to be improved with Cold Laser?
Laser therapy has been scientifically proven to be successful in treating multiple conditions including:
● Post-Surgical/Wounds
● Musculoskeletal Disorders
● Thoracic Disorders
● Neurological Disorders
● Dental issues
● Abdominal Disorders
● Dermatologic Disorders
● Urinary Tract Disorders
How long does it take to work/see results?
Typically for acute issues like pain or post-surgical recovery often requiring 6 + sessions, while chronic conditions may need 10 to 12 sessions or more over a longer period.
