Enhanced Healing & Pain Relief for Pets

Cold laser therapy works by using a low-intensity laser or light-emitting diodes (LEDs) to help relieve pain, stimulate and enhance cell function, and help with healing. Several conditions have been shown to improve with the continued use of this therapy, including muscle and joint pain, arthritis, and muscle spasms.

This non-invasive treatment can also be used post-operatively to help speed up the healing process and minimize inflammation at an incision site.

During the procedure, your veterinarian will move a handheld wand slowly over the area they wish to treat. The light emitted by the wand may create a warming effect on your pet's skin, but they won't feel any pain.

The effects of cold laser therapy are cumulative, meaning that your cat or dog may require a number of treatment sessions depending on the severity of the condition they are dealing with.
