Laser Therapy
Laser therapy (photobiomodulation) for dogs uses specific light wavelengths to non-invasively reduce pain, decrease inflammation, and accelerate tissue healing. It acts at a cellular level to increase ATP (adenosine triphosphate) production, boosting blood circulation and cell regeneration to treat arthritis, injuries, and post-surgical wounds.
Key Benefits and Uses for Dogs:
- Pain Relief: Reduces chronic pain, especially from arthritis, hip dysplasia, and degenerative joint disease.
- Reduced Inflammation: Decreases swelling in muscles, tendons, and joints.
- Faster Healing: Speeds up recovery from surgical incisions, sprains, strains, and fractures.
- Wound Treatment: Helps with hot spots, skin infections and lick granulomas.
- Post-Operative Care: Reduces pain and swelling, often lowering the need for pain medications.
What to Expect:
- Procudure: A handheld want is used to delivery light to the affected area for 15-30 minutes.
- Sensation: The treatment is painless, with some lasers generating soothing warmth.
- Frequency: Chronic conditions often require several sessions intially, followed by a maintenance plan.
- Safety: The procedure is non-invasive and generally free from side effects.
